Can you guess the historical event this poem is based after?

Like smoke from an unseen fire
The last warning before it's too late
The beginnings of a funeral pyre
You already know your fate

The drumbeats drown out your panic
The rapid beating of your heart
Your struggles are increasingly frantic
For the body your soul will depart

'Twas only the price of your actions
You must lie in the bed you make
The villagers with their righteous reactions
You know all witches must burn at the stake
