Rhyme Scheme: AABCBBDECFGHHGIJKJKI IJIBLLBAI| Is it the Eternal Triune is it He | A |
| Who dares arrest the wheels of destiny | A |
| And plunge me in the lowest Hell of Hells | B |
| Will not the lightning's blast destroy my frame | C |
| Will not steel drink the blood life where it swells | B |
| No let me hie where dark Destruction dwells | B |
| To rouse her from her deeply caverned lair | D |
| And taunting her cursed sluggishness to ire | E |
| Light long Oblivion's death torch at its flame | C |
| And calmly mount Annihilation's pyre | F |
| Tyrant of Earth pale Misery's jackal Thou | G |
| Are there no stores of vengeful violent fate | H |
| Within the magazines of Thy fierce hate | H |
| No poison in the clouds to bathe a brow | G |
| That lowers on Thee with desperate contempt | I |
| Where is the noonday Pestilence that slew | J |
| The myriad sons of Israel's favoured nation | K |
| Where the destroying Minister that flew | J |
| Pouring the fiery tide of desolation | K |
| Upon the leagued Assyrian's attempt | I |
| Where the dark Earthquake daemon who engorged | I |
| At the dread word Korah's unconscious crew | J |
| Or the Angel's two edged sword of fire that urged | I |
| Our primal parents from their bower of bliss | B |
| Reared by Thine hand for errors not their own | L |
| By Thine omniscient mind foredoomed foreknown | L |
| Yes I would court a ruin such as this | B |
| Almighty Tyrant and give thanks to Thee | A |
| Drink deeply drain the cup of hate remit this I may die | I |
