Thematically, the song follows the fairytale inspired theme of Lullabies To Paralyze. The song describes a witch trial and the fact that people accused of being witches had done nothing and were wrongly killed. This is pretty congruent with history.

Burn the Witch Lyrics
[Intro: Mark Lanegan]
Burn the witch
Burn the witch
Burn the witch
Burn the witch
[Verse 1: Josh Homme]
Holding hands
Skippin' like a stone
On our way
To see what we have done
The first to speak
Is the first to lie
The children cross
Their hearts and hope to die
[Chorus 1: Josh Homme]
Bite your tongue
Swear to keep your mouth shut
[Verse 2: Josh Homme with Mark Lanegan]
Ask yourself
Will I burn in Hell?
Then write it down
And cast it in the well
There they are
The mob, it cries for blood
To twist the tale
Into firewood
Fan the flames
With a little lie
Then turn your cheek
Until the fire dies
The skin, it peels
Like the truth, away
What it was
I will never say
[Interlude]
(Ah-ah-ah)
(Oh-oh-oh-ah)
(Ah-ah-ah)
(Oh-oh-oh-ah)
[Chorus 2: Josh Homme]
Bite your tongue, swear to keep
Keep your mouth shut
Make up something, make up something good
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro: Josh Homme with Mark Lanegan]
Holdin' hands
Skippin' like a stone
Burn the witch
Burn to ash and bone
Burn the witch
Burn to ash and bone
Burn the witch
Burn to ash and bone
