First of all, the song is written in the first person, and it seems to me the person doing the speaking is the witch himself. He (the witch) is speaking to his victim - the fool - which could be a female whose virtue and innocense he stole with beguiling charm. Only, the whole time the fool was so confident that she was was fooling the witch, she was too blind to see that the witch was on to her scheme. \n\nFor damn sure, a twisted story this is. In the first place, what is a witch\'s promise? A lie! Every promise he or she would ever make would be a lie. If you think about it, these two characters could be Hillary and the Donald.

Instead his lust leads him down this path..
