Looking into a mirror, I don't recognize the person, looking back at me
I have just been informed that I was the perpetrator of several horrendous
But, I have a problem with this, I have no memory, of what they say I did, won't someone hear my plea?
According to everyone, I have an uncontrollable taste for blood, something, I would call blood lust.

You inform me, because of my lust, I have killed quite a few times
I just can't remember, within my body, is this the structure, for two different souls?
According to other, of me my victims were never aware, so sneaking up to them, I had to be as silent as a mime
They tell me, to murder others, at the time this was my main goal.

In my entire life, I honestly don't remember, ever trying to hurt any one
I am a doctor, I took an oath, to help people, not to kill
But the atrocities say, I committed these atrocities, after everything said and done
They say I'm a monster and from blood, I just can't get my fill.

Why on earth was I picked to house two different souls, one from heaven, one from hell?
One always wanting to help others, but the other just wanting to hurt, to even kill?
If I could remember my crimes, they you, I would tell
According to you, the evidence you have, my fate it will seal.

I have read in certain medical books, about the condition, you tell me I have
Two souls sharing one body, I guess this would make me seem, rather ill
But I am not aware of the other being within my self, you claim I have
You want to try hypnosis, to see, if what you think of me is real.

In this room, sitting in front of me, you start trying to hypnotize me
Soon within my very being, my other self begins to stir
You are writing down everything I say, so my other self, I may hear, I may see
Then he comes to the surface saying," Be afraid, be mighty afraid, see my name is Jack the Ripper.

I've hunted and had to apprehend real killers for decades now,
and quite honestly,almost all seem to be as interesting as a cow

I thought years ago that killers would be like those on the sliver screen,
all full of interesting character,and generally malevolent but also clean

Was I surprised to find that- they were just like every other bum I'd met,
and thankfully; just as dull and uncomplicated; and easy to forget
