The first verse is a mystery to me.
The chorus is so eerie, I love it. But anyway, I know this isn't really what it's about but it's my own interpretation: A lot of times, when someone does something terrible, it haunts them in their dreams, or they have trouble sleeping. My idea is that the writer sees all of his sins (I use 'sins' to go along with the religious connotation of 'angels') in his sleep and he feels very guilty that he has done something so terrible, slain something so pure. He is now worried that he will pay for his wrongs and will never be able to leave them behind. Silently preparing what they'll do to me is how his wrongs are surrounding him, closing in. The second verse is about how he can't hide from what he is done any longer.
Well, there are some holes I suppose, but I'd like to know what you think!
