Vinglar from Omnejd by Anna Ahnlund

Swaying (Vinglar)

We all sway between the barren, bleak world
and the warm and sunny emerald valley

Heavy is the burden now to carry
soon it will be light

And mother said
(And mother said this is)
This is how it will be for you
(This is how it will be before you die, you old lump)

Unintentionally I throw you hard blows
(I say the same words once again)
They whistle through the air like poisoned arrows

The strokes burn and ache, the heart is shaking
(I only wanted to be yours)
when the head penetrates

And no-one said
(And no-one said this is)
This is just how we want it now
(This is what we want before we die, go up in smoke)

You dig a hole in me
(You're digging deep, deep holes in me, even when you aren't around)
and fill it up with ink
I'm writing with it now

The fiery vision of happiness turns to smoke again
The fiery vision of happiness rises again
