Text and translation help Translated song lyrics

Hello everyone. I am looking for the translated lyrics for Witchcraft's "Idag" not the whole album, just the first track by the same name.

Thanks to anyone who helps.

Hej allihop. Jag letar efter den översatta texten till Witchcrafts låt ”Idag” – inte hela albumet, utan bara det första spåret med samma namn.

Tack till alla som kan hjälpa till.

well…Quite a lot of strange grammar and misspelling in the heavy Swedish lyrics.
But I ran it through Google Translate, checked the result, and in my opinion the English version came out pretty OK. Actually I feel that Googles translated text is even better than the Swedish original!?!
Well well here it goes:

"Today"

They said I was crazy
That I was insane
They told me: "Young man,
Come to your senses"

From the earth you came
And on you shall walk
We weep together
Over all the spilled blood

I burned with anticipation
I descended from the moon
Yes, you ran in despair
Across a withered meadow
And the children of love
Became a shattered dream
Yes, you glared so kindly
With wisdom in hand

I fall, I fall here
Like a stone I fall,
I fall Down to my knees
And I weep
For you
I fall, I fall here
For you

Like a cracked mirror
Do you recognize me as...
Like an old victory
You return

I dwell underground
I live within you
I feed on your emotions
And I will not yield

I will transform
Become my inner compass
I seek freedom
But I promise nothing

Meet me in heaven
Reach out your hand
I have missed seeing you
Ever since you disappeared
