INTRO
VERSE 1
This is the book of the words of righteousness,
A tale of the watchers who abandoned their place.
Sons of heaven, they gazed upon the earth,
Lust and pride gave their rebellion birth.
PRE-CHORUS
Two hundred descended on Mount Hermon's height,
Bound by an oath, in the shadows of night.
Azazel taught them the art of war,
Blades of steel, secrets never told before.
CHORUS
Woe to the Watchers, who fell from grace,
Angels of heaven who abandoned their place.
Bound in darkness, their chains of despair,
Eternal judgment, a fate they must bear.
VERSE 2
Shemihazah led them, their leader, their guide,
Sworn to descend, their secrets denied.
Enchantments, sorcery, the stars they named,
The art of seduction, the world defamed.
PRE-CHORUS
And the earth was corrupted, the giants arose,
Mighty and cruel, their violence exposed.
Blood filled the earth, a cry reached the sky,
The souls of the innocent, their plea, their cry.
CHORUS
Woe to the Watchers, who fell from grace,
Angels of heaven who abandoned their place.
Bound in darkness, their chains of despair,
Eternal judgment, a fate they must bear.
INTERLUDE
BRIDGE
I saw a watcher, a holy one descend,
A messenger of judgment, a voice without end.
The sons of God saw the daughters of men,
They took them as wives, their fate did begin.
To chains of darkness, they are cast below,
Awaiting the judgment, the flames aglow.
War in heaven, Michael's sword,
The dragon cast out, the fallen deplored.
OUTRO
Woe to the Watchers, who fell from grace,
Angels of heaven who abandoned their place.
Bound in darkness, their chains of despair,
Eternal judgment, a fate they must bear.
