Prowling streets of blackest night Alleyways of death Hunting prey to feed my demons Blood lust in my soul Respected citizen at day Killer at night Let me tell the gory secret Of Mary King's Close Why does this evil & malice Reside in me I'm closing eyes for ever more In the haunted close I wait With wrath I make my move The last one to a dozen full Has kissed my steely blade The blood of innocence again Is flowing through the streets In contentment I retire ignoring the watching eye Icy dungeons Iron chains Torture & trial Here I end my living days At the Grass Market gallows
