"Some ghosts are not buried in the earth, but in our hearts. They do not ask to be remembered; they only ask to be endured until love turns to poison, teaching us that there is no grave deep enough for a lie. Madam Death screams in painful agony, her grief unburied and forged in rage. "He loved the Lady of Death as a mortal loves the moon — from afar and in silence, knowing that one day she would call it home" (Maledictus)

"The “Madam Death” music video was created as a living, animated oil-painting narrative in which light, texture, and form shift dynamically with the music. We first developed the story, characters, emotional arcs, visual motifs, pacing, and symbolism through traditional creative discussion. Only afterwards did we generate and meticulously refine the images and animation— using AI purely as a technical tool under their direction—so that every compositional, color, movement, and timing choice remained a deliberate human decision. Every tool is only a quiet servant of the all-seeing eye" (Maledictus, Butch Cid)

Lyrics:

The sky collapsed into your eyes
Beneath the aches of hate, the aches of hate and pride
I felt the echoes of my life
They're wanting me to ruin… ruin all with a lie
I buried you inside my heart
Beneath the cross under the stars
I’m haunted by your memory
Stuck in my bones, a part of me
The fire crowned you in my veins
Became the nothing again, the nothing once again
Betrayed my every single prayer for me
A silent menace fooling, you’re fooling me again
I buried you inside my heart
Beneath the cross under the stars
I’m haunted by your memory
Stuck in my bones, a part of me
I cannot grief you

You gave me nothing once again
You gave me poison and I can’t break the chains
Through the windowpane, your lies devouring me
Into my heart I can behold you
Into my heart I feel the cold from you
Building a wall to keep me away,
There is no ground to…
Sorrow… my name…
Sorrow… my name!
I buried you inside my heart
Beneath the cross under the stars
I’m haunted by your memory
Stuck in my bones, a part of me
I cannot grief you

You gave me nothing once again
You gave me poison and I can’t break the chains
Through the windowpane, your lies devouring me
