Destroying Angel

Destroying angel, move thy sword
The promise of its betting edge
The [?] of eternity
The terrible tongue of divinity
The terrible tongue of divinity
Oh, angel, hand you, reach and bind
The silent rush and put to sleep
The twisted bind that runs and leaps
I swallow the promise that death doth keep
I swallow the promise that death doth keep
Oh ghostly, deadly, angel wear
The fiery liquid shape you shift
Can bring the kings to molten mire
Oh angel king, the [?] things
Angel cling the [?] things
Child immortal — innocence
Who wakes in [?] from the sleep
Devour the bear the chokes the kings
And best impossibilities
Best impossibilities
Destroying angel, wield thy sword
The promise of its dancing edge
The [?] of eternity
The terrible tongue of divinity
The terrible tongue of divinity
