1. The Heavenly Host Defiled 4:41

200 angels descend upon the earth, lusting after the daughters of men,
 defiling creation, and birthing the giants of old.

Album Art 1
Image: A haunting portrayal of the moment the heavenly host fell from grace — angels descend in solemn majesty, halos still aglow, as they reach toward the daughters of men. One kneels to accept a sword, a symbol of corrupted dominion. Behind them, a vast procession of watchers fills the storm-lit sky, bearing witness to the forbidden union that would birth the Nephilim. A visual echo of rebellion cloaked in beauty, where the divine met desire — and judgment began.
Verse 1

In heaven's halls, the angels roamed,
 Their beauty unmatched, a sight to behold.
 But then temptation came to the host defiled,
 With women on earth, their love unbridled.

Chorus

The Heavenly Host Defiled.
 Angels mated with women, creating Nephilim.
 God got mad — this love was banned,
 A true abomination in His holy land.

Verse 2 (x2)

These offspring were giants of might,
 With powers beyond our imagination.
 But they brought with them God's frustration,
 For they were not of His creation.

Chorus

The Heavenly Host Defiled.
 Angels mated with women, creating Nephilim.
 God got mad — this love was banned,
 A true abomination in His holy land.

Bridge

The Lord's anger — it burned like fire,
 His holy wrath could not be contained.
 The Nephilim were cast out into the mire,
 Their existence now forever stained.

Chorus

The Heavenly Host Defiled.
 Angels mated with women, creating Nephilim.
 God got mad — this love was banned,
 A true abomination in His holy land.

Outro

The Host Defiled, a tale of old,
 Of love that dared to cross the line.
 But in the end, it cost them their hold,
 In God's kingdom, it was forever confined.

And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown."
