I'm a bit confused by some parts of this song so I'm not too sure about my interpretation.
So the young girl is accused of being a witch and is killed, now at the beginning of the song she says;
"Remember when I told you how my
Kin is different in some ways?
And how you should not fall in love
With someone like me"
Well I take it she is saying she's different because she's really a witch.
"In my home town
No one's safe now"
I think it means that after she is accused and killed others will start getting blame for things and accused as well of witchcraft and then killed.
In the "Envy" part TimeWeaver explained it very well except that for me in this part the girl was already dead and by now they had already started picking on others and so they decide accuse the girl's lover for having better crops than the rest of witchcraft.
"In their fear stricken hearts,
Seeing skyclad's a sign like the Deathaura"
They are so afraid that anything they find or see unusal they thing is bad and blame it on witches.
"The Grudge" confuses me because I don't know who is talking there and who is the one saying "I am truly the One
...Behind it all..."
I don't think is the girl because I'm sure she dies in [Exposing The Heathen] and if it was the girl why didn't Johanna sing that part?
In [The Flames] obviously someone is getiing burned, it could be the girl but again since I beleive the girl to be dead already I was thinking it was the guy.
"Unless morning finds all of them somehow hexed..."
I think this line is sarcastic because I thik what it saying is "unless in the morning they have all snap out of it and stop freaking out about everything" which is unlikely.
In [...Together, Today, For All Eternity] the guy is dead and so he and the girl will be together for eternity in death.
"I remember how you told me,
Your kin's different, on that sunny day?"
"You made me smile,
'cause I was just about to say the same thing..."
They are both dead by now and together so they are chatting in the after life and he just confessed to her that he was also into witchcraft so he was different as well.
"But they paid someone to say their torment has a name"
Someone was promised a reward if it brought forth who or what was causing problems in the town since something was to blame for babies crying, bad crops, and colorful lines in the skys, and so it all began.
"And after all these years we get to be together for all eternity..."
Yeah, they are dead.
Also one of the things that led me to believe that she dies in [Exposing The Heathen] is this line that is reapeted several times "I hear her in the wind, the bane of our town" and this as well "And until I get my peace I'm but a shade..."

I love this song and the story is so sad.
