Blume lyrics

Chrysantemum

For you I am 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's a 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
