Theme

A reflection on mortality and the brevity of life, presented as a mirror to the listener's own existence. Within Prequelle's narrative, 'Witch Image' serves as meditation on the futility of seeking immortality or believing we can live forever. The song functions as a spiritual self-portrait, confronting the inevitable end that awaits all, regardless of power or status.

Lyrics
You Have never stood this close to where you want to be. You have always waded in the shallows between me and the deep blue sea. You'd never want me to appear, you never want this to be over. You never want it to reach out to the edge of time. While you sleep in earthly delight someone's flesh is rotting tonight. Like no other to you, what you've done you cannot undo. I have always kept you closer than you've known. I am riding in the shadows behind you on a pale white horse. You'd never want me to appear, you never want this to be over. Someone's flesh is rotting tonight. Like no other to you, what you've done you cannot undo. While you sleep in earthly delight, still your soul will suffer this plight. Like your father in Hell, what you've sold you cannot unsell. While you sleep in earthly delight someone's flesh is rotting tonight. Like no other to you, what you've done you cannot undo. While you sleep in earthly delight, still your soul will suffer this plight. But like a mother would save her own child from digging a grave.
