Killing Time

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

I hunt the Convenanters 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 Stuart 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 Stuart

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