5. Chained in Darkness 4:59

The Watchers, cast into the abyss, face eternal imprisonment.
A powerful lament of divine justice and the weight of celestial rebellion.

Album Art 5
Image: The fallen angels in chains and torment, bowed in despair, bound in the abyss where even demons weep. Inspired by 1 Enoch 10:4–6 and Jude 1:6 — "Bound in chains under darkness until the judgment of the great day."
INTRO

VERSE 1

A voice of thunder, a command proclaimed,
The watchers tremble, the guilty named.
Azazel, cursed, in shadows confined,
A judgment fierce, his fate defined.

PRE-CHORUS

Bound in chains, in the abyss so deep,
The darkness calls, where demons weep.
The angels who fell, cast far below,
Chained in shadows, where fire won't glow.

CHORUS

Chained in darkness, forsaken cries,
The fallen angels, where light never lies.
In the void they wail, in torment's reign,
Lost in the shadow, bound in pain.

VERSE 2

A prison forged of eternal night,
A tomb where even stars lose light.
The watchers scream, the heavens mourn,
The world corrupted, by angels torn.

PRE-CHORUS

The judgment written, sealed in stone,
The guilty cursed, the righteous alone.
The abyss devours, the serpent's kin,
The chains of justice, the wages of sin.

CHORUS

Chained in darkness, forsaken cries,
The fallen angels, where light never lies.
In the void they wail, in torment's reign,
Lost in the shadow, bound in pain.

BRIDGE

Oh, pit of despair, where the silent scream,
The echoes of sorrow, a shattered dream.
Azazel, bound, beneath the earth,
The weight of his sin, a cursed birth.

GUITAR SOLO

BREAKDOWN

Chained in darkness, the watchers cry,
Their wings are torn, their light denied.
No dawn to break, no stars to see,
A prison black for eternity.

OUTRO

Chained in darkness, forsaken cries,
The fallen angels, where light never lies.
In the void they wail, in torment's reign,
Lost in the shadow, bound in pain.
