Entertained Strangers is about the Watchers — heavenly beings who descended from glory into mortal flesh,
forgotten by the world yet still stirring the veil between heaven and earth wherever they walked.

Be not forgetful to entertain strangers
For some have entertained angels unaware
For the watchers once descended from the high heaven
Leaving the eternal for the weakness of flesh
Bound to the form of men
They became polluted in the blood of mortality
And the darkness pursued them
The heavenly ones walked among humankind
Not remembering their former glory
For the powers cast them into the bonds of flesh
That they might suffer as men
Yet even in exile
The lowly saw the works of the angels
And the veil between heaven and earth
Was stirred
