Well, the song says she was already being "violated" (according to the translation I saw, not sure what other possible translations the word had) by Malice, so it seems like Levia was already sort of already... infected by Malice.

She certainly believes it's something she has to be cleansed of, or else she wouldn't have gone to Seth in the first place to get rid of it. Not that I think her having a psychosomatic manifestation of traits associated with Malice is impossible, but it seems more likely that she's actively infected.

On the other hand, I wonder if Behemo's world actually had Malice in the first place? It seems to be a pretty intuitive logical leap to say that Behemo's apparent murders are a result of him being infected. But on his side of the song, there's no mention of Malice. Then again, unlike Levia who was a scientist, he had no reason to be aware of Malice enough to connect his behavior with it (assuming, as I interpreted the lyrics, that he killed his girlfriend).
