About This Track
'Witch Image' arrives as a spectral narrative, told from the perspective of Death itself. Ghost adopts the voice of the Grim Reaper, moving through the world on a pale white horse, watching over those who sleep in earthly delight whilst their souls face reckoning. The song's architecture is built on repetition and dread: what you have done, you cannot undo; what you have sold, you cannot unsell. There is no escape, no redemption, only the slow rot of consequence. The track sits within Prequelle's larger obsession with the Black Death, transforming historical plague into a meditation on moral debt and supernatural judgement. Ghost layers accusation and inevitability across the verses, the song's narrator both intimate and implacable, riding always in the shadows behind you. It is a song about the inescapability of one's own choices, dressed in the language of medieval damnation.
