(Notes from the Trial of) La Curandera Lyrics
Did you not grant quarter to the daemon, giving treatment to its wounds?
And would you not consider it unnatural to be born outside the womb?
We eagerly await your response and your best defense
La curandera is the young girl
In a linen dress of white
She dances on black sand in the night
In her linen dress of white
Let us vote to dunk the witch in the river Styx and photograph the lye
So in the shadow of Cerebus her spirit will reside
La curandera is the young girl
In a linen dress of white
She dances on black sand in the night
In her linen dress of white
BIRD IN THE FIRE, MOUTHFUL OF SAND
KING OF THE BRIAR, MOUTHFUL OF SAND
THE SCALE AND FEATHER, THE LOCK AND KEY
THE LORD OF WEATHER, THE BEAST AT PEACE
SHED NOT A TEAR FOR HUMANITY, GO FETCH MY STARS
SHED NOT A TEAR FOR HUMANITY, GO FETCH MY STARS
And would you not consider it unnatural to be born outside the womb?
We eagerly await your response and your best defense
In a linen dress of white
She dances on black sand in the night
In her linen dress of white
So in the shadow of Cerebus her spirit will reside
In a linen dress of white
She dances on black sand in the night
In her linen dress of white
KING OF THE BRIAR, MOUTHFUL OF SAND
THE SCALE AND FEATHER, THE LOCK AND KEY
THE LORD OF WEATHER, THE BEAST AT PEACE
SHED NOT A TEAR FOR HUMANITY, GO FETCH MY STARS
SHED NOT A TEAR FOR HUMANITY, GO FETCH MY STARS

a "la curandera" is a female shaman or healer. this song is about (like andyburton said) a witch trial - thus the line "We eagerly await your response and your best defense."
they execute the witch, but i dont think there is any revenge taken.
No revenge huh? I took the last few lyrics and the change in the tempo to be representative of her revenge. "Mouthful of sand" seems to be a curse to get those who prosecute her to shut the heck up. "Bird in the fire" adds some vivid imagery, like setting one on fire and watching the flap around. The Briar reminds me of that children's book about the Briar patch and the tar baby. Just my 2 cents...

One of my most favourite songs on Blast Tyrant. I'll just write this for anyone who's not read the booklet, these lyrics are copied and slightly altered from a witch trial, and show that she was sentenced, and got her revenge. Amazing song.
How'd she get her revenge if she were dead? Interesting song, but I just don't get that. (Don't fret; I don't get lots of things...blonde, you know:)
