about

DATE: Friday, February 13, 1891

LOCATION(S): Royal Mint Street and Swallow Gardens, Whitechapel, London

SCENE: A man standing outside of The Crown and Seven Stars public house witnesses a murder under a nearby railway arch, yet does not intervene when the victim, a young woman named Frances Coles, cries out for help. Instead, he watches, paralyzed with fear, as the killer flees the crime scene. Immediately after, he flees the crime scene himself without reporting what he has witnessed to anyone.

lyrics

Lamp smokes
Heart skips
Shoe falls
Locket slips

Cold eyes
Hard stare
Black night
Still air

Player on a deadly stage
Witness to a lustful rage
In the shadow of the seven stars

Last call of a nightingale
Sorrowful her plaintive wail
In the shadow of the seven stars

A body turns
A body stalls
A body lifts
A body falls

Seconds come
Seconds go
Sound fades
Movement slows

Player on a deadly stage
Witness to a lustful rage
In the shadow of the seven stars

Last call of a nightingale
Sorrowful her plaintive wail
In the shadow of the seven stars

Mortal fear
Shaking leaf
Cautious steps
Turn to flee

A quiet voice
A halting plea
Time to run
None must see

Player on a deadly stage
Witness to a lustful rage
In the shadow of the seven stars

Last call of a nightingale
Sorrowful her plaintive wail
In the shadow of the seven stars

Player on a deadly stage
Witness to a lustful rage
In the shadow of the seven stars

Last call of a nightingale
Sorrowful her plaintive wail
In the shadow of the seven stars
