I get the impression that this may be a bit of a dig at religion (especially churches). You'd think the lyrics are describing the devil / Satan or a worshipper of them (such as a witch). But in effect I think they are actually saying that the real evil is the church, those that use "smokescreen" and send you on "witch hunts" to build their dominion upon.

The last verse really to me portrays this imagery to the max, gripping cross of "their" wooden lies!!
