the "black hat" just adds to the feeling that this song is trying to deliver. That of mob mentality with ugly results.
And thats where it succeeds. And the ugliness in their voices / faces just reflect that of their actions. It is after all about witch hunt, they burned people then. Now this is the tale - an extreme one, its not to be taken literally for todays situation, if thats what you were after. If not, think of it as a tale. A tale must have its dramatizion.
