Einstürzende Neubauten - Blume Lyrics

:: chrysantemum ::

For you I'm a chrysantemum
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 annus ::

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 is 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 is spoken - malediction
