Nothing spookier than a serial killer on the loose which brings me to today’s tune…
Song #8 Judas Priest – The Ripper
Lyrics
As the day begins to fade
Eventides when I’m afraid
I’ll never know when you’ll appear
But my senses say you’re near
In the dark when I write
Telling fortunes for my life
I’m sitting here by candle flame
When will you arrive again
Embers ignite once again
I watch them dance around the flame
Sparks start to fly
I can’t speak
From seeing answers that I seek
Shapes start to form as I stare
The shadows taunt as if to dare
Ghostly embrace takes my heart
Now I surrender and it starts
Visions in the night
Show me what is right
Help me through the maze of mystery
I will sell my soul
Only I can know
What the future holds
And what will be
Slowly my hand
Turns the page
It never ceases to amaze
Fill me with hope if you can
I will become a better man
Visions in the night
Show me what is right
Help me through the maze of mystery
I will sell my soul
Only I can know
What the future holds
And what will beVisions come into my mind
And tell the future of mankind
Only time will prove that I’m right
Will my words come true (will my words come true)
I can’t deny the gift of foresight (I can’t deny)
There’s nothing I can do (There’s nothing I can do)
Such a lonely night
Premonitions running wild
I can see them now
All alone I fantasize
As daylight breaks
Through the stars
I wonder how I got this far
As I leave my room
And lock the door
I know I’ll live forever more
Visions in the night
Show me what is right
Help me through the maze of mystery
I will sell my soul
Only I can know
What the future holds
And what will be
Visions in the night
Show me what is right
Help me through the maze of mystery
I will sell my soul
Only I can know
What the future holds
And what will be

I don’t know this song, but my husband knows it!

It’s definitely an older one and not one you hear played by them even back then.

The lyrics don’t match the song, Carrie. I found the lyrics here: https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/judaspriest/theripper.html
I enjoyed this one though. This is the kind of music my husband loved to listen to.

Oops, thanks Carla! As you can tell I have always listened to pretty much everything and I guess that habit just ran in my family so I picked it up and passed it on now to Matthew too.
