'Arry liked to write lots of songs off of concepts he's read or seen (Murders in the Rue Morgue, Phantom of the Opera, Flight of Icarus) so he takes the premise or the basic story structure of a certain aspect while leaving out the other details (Like Phantom of the Opera is strictly about a guy who kills people at the opera house, none of the extra story or Murders is about the innocent foreign guy being chased for murder and not the rest of the Poe story)
This is the same basic set up, he takes the children being blown up/burned in the house at the end of Village of the Damned and wrote a song strictly around that but kind of gave it a burned at the stake vibe instead of demon children being blown up with a bomb for literary reasons (You can describe being burned, you can't really describe a bomb detonation except for "It went boom")
