In their Progress album there were a couple of apocalyptic songs, but I think this one was the a fallen angel's perspective of the Biblical flood of Noah. The angels are standing on the edge of forever. They started a war they could not win. They helped map the universe. These were the sons of God. They carried out the plan of creating their own sons(Gen. 6). 1/3 of the angels fell into rebellion. Some came to cohabit with human women and had offspring which were giants--heroes of old. They thought they could mingle with humans to save themselves because they knew they were condemned for what they did, and since humans are God's favorite creation, they felt their sons could be saved since they were part human. Their sons being part angel (immortal) and part human (mortal) were subject to die in the flood. They tried to fight the flood saying they weren't leaving. They died but became the disembodied spirits of the nephilim. The demon sons of fallen angels never left the earth and are condemned to wander the earth, but their fallen angelic fathers were put into a type of prison but will be released at the end of days to bring judgment on wicked humans. There are 2/3 of the angels that did not rebel. The war will end and the permanent sentence will follow. Their mission failed and their eternal fate is sealed with no hope of escape.
