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...
