about

This track is obviously about Jack The Ripper and the suspect James Maybrick, whose "diary" was found years ago. I personally found this story about his diary very interesting and therefore I decided to write this song from his point of view.

lyrics

The Beast I Am

Prechorus:
The beast I am
A chimaera in the darkness
The beast I am
A hunter in your dreams

Verse1:
For some days I returned to the places
Called Spitalfields and Whitechapel hell
Waiting for the time, that was right to get
Start for my work and dirty minds

Verse2:
Hunting every night, I will find, a victim for my crime
Passing by on the streets of the scarlot harlots
Waiting for her tricks to get sick
Of this penetrant horror

Chorus:
I'll come at night, hidden in the dark black alley
Waiting for the sign to take your life
Cutting throats and bleeding coats,
Slithering knives piercing through your bowel
No more squeals escaping from your mouth
I AM JACK

Verse3:
Laughing at your tries to catch me
Following the hints I left there
But your inability amuses me
Never ever find the crawling ripper
Last but not least you will blame
Some innocent men

Interlude "Dear Boss...."

Verse 4:
Writing letters with this blood red ink
Deride your disability to find the link
Keep on working with my sharp, sweet knife
Cutting their bowls, cutting their throats
Collecting pieces as my trophy

Verse 5:
Now it's time to leave the scene
Laughing at you had never ever find my humble self
Stopping now to take some innocent lifes
May the Lord forgive my soul, sincerly yours
JAMES

Scythe DR, Netherlands

Scythe is a one man project formed in 2010/2011. After beeing in several bands I have decided to do my own thing. What also meant, I have to do anything on my own. But nevertheless it is quite an interesting experience to do everything on your own, because you are the master of it. If you enjoyed listening to it, please support my project.
