I believe the witch Chino is talking about is La Llorona. She's a pretty creepy part of Hispanic folklore.

These lyrics directly relate to her ...

"She haunts the roads She waits for a new face The arms red and injured She wants to rise She cant till we have faced"

She literally haunts Southwestern American and Mexican roads. She waits for new victims. Apparently if you see her it's a portent of death. She constantly rises from the dead to search for souls to replace those of the children she had and drowned.

The song definitely alludes to far more than that legend though.

Definitely an amazing, beautiful, and eerie song!

Dude, those are not even the correct lyrics.

You could be right, about the meaning of the song, but the correct lyrics are, "She Haunts, the ROSE".

Have no idea what it means, that's just what it is.

NO it's the R-O-A-D-S you know what that friggin' spells THE ROADS!!!!!
