Retribution

In the days of Jared, the Watchers descended,

Their counsel at Hermon left Heaven offended.

Bringing gifts of forbidden secrets they taught us,

But taking our innocence, mothers and daughters, 

Then came the Nephilim, their gigantic offspring,

Who saw us as merely food and drink offerings.

All creation wed corruption in a violent revolution,  

But in the days of Noah came Heaven’s Retribution.

_{Inspired by Genesis 6:4, the Book of Enoch}
