lyrics

East end of London, wandering once more
Crime is creeping right around the corner
Lost vagrant souls call these Whitechapel streets their home
Battling to escape their crooked fate to no avail

Years have passed yet Ripper's shadow's cast upon us all
As darkness spreads around this place, bad spirits linger
I know these streets, I called them once my home
Living nightmare, no escape at all

Don't they deserve to be saved from this misery at last
Can I pull them out of this eternal rust

I walk these city streets
Searching for an answer
As the darkness falls
I can feel their despair

Empty eyes of longing
Crying out for more
I walk these city streets
And through it all the darkness falls

I see them struggling to provide and what for
This strung out life in apathy
Corruption really got the best of them
False hope is flirting with their minds

Years of struggling to survive and this is what they got
Forever longing for a taste of something better
Trading their labor for salvation of some sort
It's time for something here to change, this can't go on

Nobody seems to flinch while one more innocent soul's gone
Just social depravity at full throttle

I walk these city streets
Searching for an answer
As the darkness falls
I can feel their despair
Empty eyes of longing
Crying out for more
I walk these city streets
And through it all the darkness falls
Across these city streets

Darkness seems to sink in deeper now with every breath
I can't be the only human on this earth that cares
Boiling hate and anger, this city's had enough
Soon will set itself on fire

A new age is dawning and will leave them all behind
Upper class won't care about their futile lives
Running out of time my chances numbered
They deserve a better life

I walk these city streets
Searching for an answer
As the darkness falls
I can feel their despair
Empty eyes of longing
Crying out for more
I walk these city streets
And through it all the darkness falls
I walk these city streets
Over and over again
I
