Pretty awesome song, one of my favourites from Arch Enemy. Seems like a song about witch burning, but it could be seen as a broader commentary on society. Namely how people feel a need to blame someone for mishaps and unfortunate occurrences rather than just accepting it and moving on. An innocents blood will be spilled (metaphorically, but in some circumstances perhaps literally), because people point fingers, spread lies... all with the vision that they are aiding society and protecting morality by finding someone to blame, and subsequently punish.
P.S: How awesome is the line "these are dark times, suspicious minds breed like rats" !!!
