Martyrs of God Lyrics

The texts quoting these facts are extracted from the book of Henoch.
The sin of the angel led to the death of innocent creatures.

Born from the union of Seraphin and a mortal
Nephilins should never have existed.
This alliance caused evil to be done forever.
By giving them life, fate harassed them all their life.

Hidden in shadows so as not to be seen by men.
Physically deformed, mentally troubled,
those four vulnerable children had an unhealthy existence.
We could feel unhappiness and despair in them.
Their look betrayed pain and desolation.
Only their creator could put an end to their existential pain.

According to the story, God sent back the Seraphin to the earth
so that he could recover the souls of his offspring,
rather than evil claiming them to be his.

Dressed in black like a churchman,
we could see in his shadow four deformed faces :
a man's, an eagle's, a lion's and a bull's.
His faith was such that nothing could hinder him in his path.
God's emissary, he embodied the hidden side of god.

During a last meeting with their father,
the fallen angels knew they would soon be freed.
For a moment they stayed petrified by his shining presence.
Looking at Seraphin in all his glory,
which Meant handing their soul over to God.

They were then motionless, on their knees as if praying,
their souls ready to join the heavens
to rest in peace eventually.
Only leaving on earth
angel's dust dropped on the ground.
