My Soul To Take

December 20, 2019

Now lay me down to sleep,

I pray the Lord my soul to keep.

If I should die before I wake,

I pray the Lord my soul to take.

’88’s my time of play

Down inside Old Smoke

I’m famous

Don’t you love me?

I’m your killer in the dark

I mutilate,

But your not the one to know

I’m Jake the Ripper,

I hope you’re not close!
