I have returned.

I have returned to carry out,
the task I had to leave undone.
You will soon that Jacks about.
I’m Jack the Rippers great grandson.

I was reborn to continue
my campaign started long ago.
Although you can’t believe it’s true.
That show how little that you know.

I’ll rid the streets of prostitutes
who try to lead good men astray
Reducing them to lustful beasts.
These women are my lawful prey.

To prove that I am really Jack.
I will leave my usual clue
at the site of each attack.
In the same way I used to do.

I’ll take some little souvenir
to add to my collection
A kidney or perhaps an ear
As I did in days long gone.

I will select them carefully
The women who I’ve come to kill.
I know police will hunt for me
which adds a little to the thrill.

I slew my first victim today.
In Whitechapel would you believe.
You can rely that what I say
is no more than I can achieve.

There is no doubt that fear will reign
amongst the ladies of the night
As I renew my old campaign.
I am still Jack I strike at night.

I am not just some copy cat
who seeks to emulate my deeds
You can be very sure of that.
This is a warning all should heed.

My name is Jack and I am back.
Despite modern technology
I will be just as hard to track.
If Lady Luck still favours me.
