2. Whispers of the Watchers 6:09

A haunting retelling of the Watchers' fall and their forbidden knowledge.
 Whispers of ancient sin and divine judgment ripple through humanity.

Image: This solemn scene depicts two fallen angels guiding mankind into rebellion. On the left, a powerful angel places a sword into the hands of a man — the moment knowledge of warfare is passed from heaven to earth, as referenced in 1 Enoch 8:1 where Azazel "taught men to make swords, and knives, and shields, and breastplates." On the right, another angel leans over two women: one conjuring a flame in her hands as she learns sorcery and spells (1 Enoch 7:1), while the other admires herself with jewelry and a mirror, reflecting the vanity and seduction taught by the Watchers. This image embodies the corruption described in Genesis 6:1–4 and 1 Enoch 8:2, where angels gave forbidden knowledge to mankind. The earth, once pure, is now drenched in sin. As it is written: "And they taught them charms and enchantments… And the earth was filled with sin… And all things became dark." (1 Enoch 8:1–3).
INTRO

Whispers rise in the shadowed mist...
 Ancient tongues, a secret tryst...

VERSE 1

In the twilight of the heavens, they descend,
 The stars that fell, where shadows bend.
 Their wings are veiled in silver light,
 Their eyes like flames, they pierce the night.

They spoke in tongues of ancient lore,
 Of knowledge lost, of lust and war.
 They gazed upon the daughters fair,
 And bound themselves with oaths they swear.

PRE-CHORUS

Whispers in the wind, forbidden call,
 Secrets carved upon the mountain wall.
 A pact of darkness sealed with flame,
 The Watchers fall, but curse their name.

CHORUS

Whispers of the Watchers, secrets born in sin,
 Fallen stars that taught the ways of magic deep within.
 Charms and spells, forbidden arts,
 Angels weep while shadows start.

VERSE 2

The mountains tremble, the earth will shake,
 The chains of light they dared to break.
 The fire of heaven scorched their path,
 While souls are swept in tempest's wrath.

They showed mankind the stars and spheres,
 The whispered lies, the whispered fears.
 The blade, the root, the signs of death,
 A covenant of cursed breath.

PRE-CHORUS

Whispers in the wind, forbidden call,
 Secrets carved upon the mountain wall.
 A pact of darkness sealed with flame,
 The Watchers fall, but curse their name.

CHORUS

Whispers of the Watchers, secrets born in sin,
 Fallen stars that taught the ways of magic deep within.
 Charms and spells, forbidden arts,
 Angels weep while shadows start.

BRIDGE

Azazel spoke of steel and war...
 Shemhazai taught the stars afar...
 Amezyarak revealed the charms...
 Barakijal raised the sorcery's arms...

Secrets whispered in twilight's shroud...
 Their voices echo, a deathly crowd...

BREAKDOWN

Behold the sons of heaven fall,
 Bound in darkness, chained to call,
 Their whispers curse the world below,
 Their secrets scorch, their shadows grow.

FINAL CHORUS

Whispers of the Watchers, secrets born in sin,
 Fallen stars that taught the ways of magic deep within.
 Charms and spells, forbidden arts,
 Angels weep while shadows start.

OUTRO

"And they taught them charms and enchantments..."
 "And the earth was filled with sin..."
 "And all things became dark..."
