Grand master of the Sabbath, John Fane |
|
Told his coven gathered: "Kill King James" |
|
Wax a figure of his image & wrap it in his clothing |
|
Burn it slowly whist he is sleeping |
|
Feed him with poison, bring the monarchy down |
|
Our sin is rebellion, in black arts crowned |
|
3 covens of 39 |
|
In 1591 that night performed a rite |
|
A grand Sabbath with one aim in sight |
|
To destroy the king of England |
|
Create a storm, whilst overseas he sails |
|
To bring his Danish bride to these Isles |
|
They christened a cat in his name; |
|
Threw it in a pond, no shame |
|
A tempest was aroused, who should he blame |
|
Hunt down those Witches, confess or die |
|
Sink or swim, they're guilty - let's hang 'em high |
|
3 covens of 39 |
|
In 1591 that night performed a rite |
|
A grand Sabbath with one aim in sight |
|
To destroy the king of England |
|
Witchcraft spreading all around this Christian land |
|
Find them; burn them to the ground |
|
Their souls condemned |
|
Their ill fated curse failed so the king held trial |
|
The first great persecution of the British Isles |
|
An imp sucks a spinster's nipple |
|
A hare drains milk from cattle |
|
A clergy fornicate at a black dog's ball |
|
Pierce flesh with needles three inches in |
|
If they scream they're guilty, guilty as sin |
|
3 covens slaughtered that night |
|
39 crucified, burned and hanged alive |
|
Interrogated at our first witch trials |
|
Sentenced by the king of England |
