On the surface, this album tells you the story of a witch enduring a path of suffering—ripped from her Hiding Place, betrayed (The Betrayal), and ultimately coming to terms with society’s condemnation (Forsaken). Heresy presents the viewpoint of the clergy: a hymn against all heretical forces, condemned during Inquisition (which borrows themes from Franz Liszt’s Spanish Rhapsody). The Cleansing brings her journey to an end—through the witch’s burning at the stake—while L'Inferno, a piano solo piece, captures her descent through the abyss, symbolizing her newfound peace.
On a deeper level, the album's meaning translates to modern times, particularly in tracks like Lighthearted, a piece about self-acceptance, and Psychosis. The figure of the witch can be replaced by any minority or individual who is marginalized and oppressed by society (the "clergy") for their differences. Musically, most of the songs are structured as a dialogue between the afflicted person (clean vocals) and society/the clergy (growling/screaming).
