Mercyful Fate The Ripper ( Judas Priest Tribute)

The Ripper

You're in for surprise
You're in for a shock, ahh
In London town streets
When there's darkness and fog
When you least expect me
And you turn your back
I'll attack

I smile when I'm sneaking
Through shadows by the wall
I laugh when I'm creeping
But you won't hear me at all

All hear my warning
Never turn your back
On the ripper

You'll soon shake with fear
Never knowing if I'm near
I'm sly and I'm shameless, nocturnal and nameless
Except for the ripper
Or if you like "Jack the knife"

Any back alley street
Is where we'll probably meet
Underneath a gas lamp
Where the air's cold and damp

I'm a nasty surprise
I'm a devil in disguise
I'm a footstep at night
I'm a scream of the fright

All hear my warning
Never turn your back
On the ripper
The ripper
The ripper

is there an official album or something, with this song on it. I think it is an awesome cover.

I prefer Judas Priest's version



[DrJuice1]

@HouseOfThunder1982 does this mean that you're the asshat then? or is Stevemanowar still an asshat?

[MisterFruitbowl]

Great cover! Funny how you can still hear a tiny trace of Danish accent in The King's voice.
