North Berwick Witch Trials |
| 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 |
