Nephilim Lyrics

Loving mother
He has come
To take your son

Listen how he strides the earth
When only animals are awake
When the shattering of ideals begin
God of ruin will come to you

Loving mother
He has come
To take your son

Loving mother
He has come
To take your son

Fallen from the faded sky
Nephilim comes through foul air
And when morals will decline
God of ruin will come to you

Loving mother
He has come
To take your son

Loving mother
He has come
To take your son

When the people decide to turn away from Satan and serve God, he becomes angry and stops at nothing to get them to backslide.

Anyways, just my opinion. In the end, it's an awesome song and I love it regardless of the meaning.

I agree with most of what RevanJast has to say, however I thought I'd elaborate and correct a small misinterpretation made in the above comment which may change the meaning slightly.

Nephilim means 'Earth-born fallen ones' and not to be confused with fallen angels like Lucifer. The Nephilim were the result of a forbidden bond between women and a 2nd falling of angels who were called 'Watcher Angels' who lusted after women, Lucifer was not part of this 2nd group. The forbidden bond was the reason for the flood and because of the nature of their spirits they were unable...

These are the lyrics for "Right into the Bliss", not "Nephilim."
