Confusion with omitted particle and 祝福と変える

Question

終わりの鐘　祝福と変える

It's from a song named HΨ=世界創造=EΨ. You see "Owari no kane shukufuku to kaeru (change)". I think it means "the end bell changes with a blessing"

There is no particle to separate it from 祝福, and then there's と. I tried to research the uses of と and 変える's object particle, but there isn't anything that would make sense, no cause and effect, no transforming. How am I supposed to translate this part? No translations for the whole sentence please.

Answer 1

This is a very literary and stilted way of saying 祝福に変える or 祝福へと変える ("to turn (something) into blessing"). 終わりの鐘 is the subject/topic of the sentence. ～と変える is not common, but this type of と to mark a "resultant form/state" is found in similar expressions:

• ちりと化すぞ - What is the function of particle と?
• use of と in 無用の長物と化した
• What is the difference between 〜となる and 〜になる?
• ～と成す ("to regard as ～", "to use as ～", "to turn into ～")
