The Watchers Reign
by Digital Dissent

Verse 1
They came not in fire, but in silence and light
With symbols that danced through the caves of the night
They spoke not in words, but in visions and scale
And taught us to measure, to harvest, to sail

Verse 2
They mapped out the heavens in circles and stones
And whispered of power beyond flesh and bones
From skyborne descent to the tablets of law
They carved their dominion without a single war

Pre-Chorus
Were they shepherds, or wеre they kings?
Or shadows wrapped in goldеn wings?

Chorus
Under the Watchers’ reign
We traded blood for flame
Lifted by their knowledge
But shackled by their name
They raised our hands to build
Then taught us how to kneel
In temples made of starlight
We signed the hidden deal

Verse 3
They gifted the seed and demanded the vow
With promises wrapped in the shape of the now
The myths call them angels, the glyphs speak of flight
But truth may be buried beneath wrong and right

Pre-Chorus
Were they gods, or masks of men?
And if they return—what happens then?

Chorus
Under the Watchers’ reign
Our rise became their claim
Every age that followed
Still echoes with their flame
They wrote the dawn in stone
But left the dusk concealed
In silence we remember
A truth they never sealed

Bridge
They did not stay, but did not fall
They watch beyond the mirrored wall
And every tower that we raise
Still bends beneath their ancient gaze

Final Chorus
Under the Watchers’ reign
We built but never knew
If we were made to wander
Or finish what they drew
They vanished in the mist
Or hid behind our skin
But still their eyes are waiting—
To judge what we begin
