  • Heaven
    Heaven's bodies
    Whirl around me
    Make me wonder

    And they say back then our universe
    Was an empty sea, until a silver fox
    And her cunning mate began to sing
    A song that became the world we know

    Heaven
    Heaven's bodies
    Whirl around me
    Make me wonder

    And they say back then our universe
    Was a cold black egg, until the God inside
    Burst out and from its shattered shell
    He made what became the world we know

    Heaven
    Heaven's bodies
    Whirl around me
    Make me wonder

    And they say back then our universe
    Was an endless land, until our ancestors
    Woke up and before they went back to sleep
    They carved it up into the world we know

    Heaven
    Heaven's bodies
    Whirl around me
    Make me wonder

    And they say back then our universe
    Wasn't even there, until a sudden bang
    And then there was light, was sound, was matter
    And it all became the world we know

    Heaven
    Heaven's bodies
    Whirl around me
    And dance eternal Writer/s: Bjork Gudmundsdottir, Sigurjon Sigurdsson
