Einstürzende Neubauten Lyrics
"Blume"

(Chrysantemum)
For you I am a chrysantemum
supernova, urgent star

(Astera Compositae)
For you I'd 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'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
