The Letter
From Hell: Unveiling Victorian Horror and the Dark Secrets of Whitechapel
Lyrics
Eyes that saw the face have throats that cannot tell.
Eyes that witnessed the events cannot communicate what they saw.
Gurgling, raw, disgraced, nothing left to sell.
The voices are choked, stripped of dignity, with nothing valuable remaining to offer.
Their names remembered now for evermore,
Their names are now immortalized, forever remembered.
Once wretched now dismembered, Whitechapel whores.
Once miserable individuals, now dismembered; referring to Whitechapel prostitutes.
Words on paper, burning, bloody, scrawled in red.
Written words on paper, burning and bloody, scrawled in red ink.
Years hence men of learning study every thread,
Over the years, scholars meticulously study every detail.
"Dear World, I stood where you can't stand.
A declaration that the speaker stood in a place inaccessible to others.
Yours Truly, in blood, catch me when you can,
A signature in blood, challenging others to catch the perpetrator.
From Hell".
The message is signed "From Hell," suggesting a sinister origin.
Confrontation scandalous, blemishes remain,
Scandalous events and flaws persist despite attempts to cover them up.
High society's canvas indelibly stained.
The elite class is permanently marked by these events.
No why sir, no who, the exposed underbelly bleeds,
No explanation or perpetrator identified, exposing the vulnerable side of society.
The heart of the dawn of the modern world helpless against the deeds,
The beginning of the modern world is depicted as helpless against the dark actions.
From Hell.
Reiterates the chilling signature "From Hell."
Surgeon? Noble? Seek the monster among men.
The call to find the monstrous individual within humanity.
Those who saw the same as he would never sleep again.
Witnesses share an indelible mark, haunted by what they have seen.
No mercy, no shame, butchered extremes,
No compassion or remorse; extreme brutality depicted.
Panic just a game, helpless prey denied their screams.
Creating panic is a mere game; victims are denied the ability to scream.
"Dear World, My works done, you'll never understand.
A final message, claiming the incomprehensibility of the speaker's actions.
Yours Truly, I've won, catch me when you can,
Declared victory, challenging others to catch the speaker.
From Hell...
Reiterates the ominous origin of the message, "From Hell."
