The Watcher Lyrics

Born to a flock of animosity
To be judged, to be shamed, no rights and no dignity
Beneath the eye of disdain
Where the watcher sees the wicked, we compel

Offspring of divine regret
Condemn thy daughters of death
Gripping the face of the earth
Return to dirt
Under the eye

Don't fear the watcher, sentinel from the skies above
The rebel angel sees through all of us
Beware the watcher, the earth is erased in flood
The rebel angel laughs and falls at last

Does the observer make reality?
Does the gaze activate quantum complicity?
Beneath the pyre and pain
Where we jettison body and brain!

Offspring of divine regret
Condemn thy daughters of death
Gripping the face of the earth
Return to dirt
Under the eye

Don't fear the watcher, sentinel from the skies above
The rebel angel sees through all of us
Beware the watcher, the earth is erased in flood
The rebel angel laughs and falls at last
At last

Writhing with the Nephilim
Behold fire and flood!

Offspring of divine regret
Condemn thy daughters of death
Gripping the face of the earth
Return to dirt
Under the eye

Don't fear the watcher, sentinel from the skies above
The rebel angel sees through all of us
Beware the watcher, the earth is erased in flood
The rebel angel laughs and falls at last
At last

Cover art for The Watcher  lyrics by Arch Enemy

One of the most prominent figures in the Book of Enoch is the Watchers—angelic being described as both the sons of God and the sons of heaven in Chapter 7. Enoch tells us in Chapter 7 that men and women had multiplied and that the daughters of men were beautiful & elegant, so beautiful in fact they caught the Watchers attention. The watchers conversed amongst each other in this chapter and decided to take the women for themselves, impregnating them with their seed, thus going against the intended purpose of watching, and directly interfering with the life of mankind. After mating with the women of the earth, the women gave birth to the children of the Watchers, and what they spawn are essentially a hybrid of Angel and human, the Nephilim, as they are sometimes referred to as.
