about

Mary Kelly was the last known victim of Jack The Ripper. How often do the victims of unspeakable crimes fade in the shadow of their tormentors?

lyrics

Mary Kelly
You were first-born
Little love spawn
O poor you

Celebrated under page one
Didn’t last long
They forgot you

So little time
To live your life
To realise
Your dreams and wishes

Mary Kelly
Little love spawn
You were the last one
O poor you

But don’t hesitate
Don’t give up
Don’t let go and don’t give in

Time will tell – time will tell

Mary Kelly
Little love spawn
You were the fifth one
Oh poor you

In the ‘chapel oh so endless
Is the darkness
That surrounds you

So little time
We’re truly sorry
Don’t you know it does not matter

Mary Kelly
You were first-born
But the last one
O poor you
