WHITECHAPEL BREATHES

Intro (growled / whispered)
Steel in the fog.
Faith turns to rot.
The city watches —
but it says nothing.

Verse 1
Fog crawls low like a dying god,
Streets choke thick with sin and smog.
Church bells rust in shattered time,
Every prayer cuts like a crime.

Eyes are nailed to boarded doors,
Hope bleeds out on cobblestone floors.
No footsteps — yet you know he’s near,
Fear has learned to breathe your fear.

Pre-Chorus
The night remembers every scream,
Carves its truth in broken dreams.
No face. No name. No final sound.
Just hunger stalking holy ground.

Chorus (slow, crushing)
WHITECHAPEL BREATHES — AND IT KNOWS YOUR NAME
THE DARK WEARS SKIN — THE FEAR REMAINS
NO GRAVE — NO END — NO FUCKING PEACE
THE LEGEND LIVES
WHEN THE LIGHT DECEASES

Verse 2
Ink-stained lies and trembling hands,
Truth rots slow in Scotland Yard plans.
Letters whisper through clenched teeth,
A laughing ghost beneath the sheets.

Was he man or was he plague?
A mirror held to human rage.
Cut from rumor, fed by dread,
A crown of silence on his head.

Bridge (breakdown / spoken-growl)
He is not flesh.
He is not steel.
He is the thing
YOU FEEL
when the lock clicks too late.

Born in panic.
Raised by myth.
Immortal —
because fear never dies.

Chorus (faster, more violent)
WHITECHAPEL BREATHES — THE NIGHT OBEYS
A CITY KNEELS IN GASLIGHT PRAYERS
NO JUSTICE SUNG — NO FINAL SCENE
ONLY THE SCREAMS
BETWEEN THE SCREAMS

Outro (doom, dragging)
The killer faded into smoke.
The fear stayed carved into bone.
Say his name — the darkness stirs.
Not a man.

A wound.

darker, heavier, metal, oppressive atmosphere, ritualistic rhythm.
No gore — just dread, decay, and madness.
