By God's grace
I am the king
James the 7th
Obey or death I bring

I hunt the Covenanters down
The Wigtownshire martyrs drown

Sixteen eighty five
The Black Year

[Chorus:]
Killing time
Believe in me or you must die
Killing time
Hang the victims hang them high

James Stewart reigns
Blood on his hands
His people tortured
By his own commands
Revolution sweet revenge
Hunt the tyrant off the throne

Sixteen eighty eight
The fall of The House of Stewart

[Chorus:]
Killing time
Kill the tyrant he must die
Killing time
Hang the victims hang them high
