Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Väck mig till sömns i dig, 
väck mina världar till dig, 
tänd mina döda stjärnor närmare dig. 
Dröm mig bort ur min värld 
hem till lågornas hem, föd mig, 
lev mig, döda mig närmare dig. 
Närmare mig till dig, 
närmare födelsens härd, 
tag mig varmare, tag mig 
närmare dig, närmare dig.
