Blume
Einsturzende Neubauten
(Chrysanthemum)
For you I am a chrysanthemum
Supernova, urgent star
(Astera compositae)
For you I'll be a dandelion
A thousand flowerettes in the sky
Or just a drop in the ocean
If you know my name
Don't speak it out
It holds a power - as before
(Liliacea)
A lily of the valley
A flower of saron
(Helianthus annuus)
For you I even be a sunflower
Do you hear my enlightening laughter?
Another reason to cut off an ear
You know my name, do you not?
Don't say it, for it's sacred
Immovable, frozen
(Rosa, anemone et nymphea alba)
I'll even be a waterlily
A marygold, a rose
Or a little thistle
(Euphorbia)
A blue dahlia, a black tulip
That's where opinions differ
The scholars disagree
My name, should you know it
Remains unspeakable
And it's spoken - malediction
