Lyrics

Send the answers my way
Here’s a riddle for you:
I am the queen of diamonds and rust
The empress of all things receding
Who am I?
Who am I?
In stillness and bleakness,
I go through phases of weakness,
With no strength to spare but I do not to give in
Who am I?
Who am I?
And then a sigh of relief,
Of surprise, of disbelief
Soft lights upon my arrival
Honeydew green grass flattering
The lilies of the valley
I cause their blooming
I’m the muse to the queen
But an empress I will never be
Who am I?
Who am I?
You seek shelter from my glaring heat
Dread me not, I cause growth,
I turn flower into fruit
And I give power to the new
I know of no limit
I am the product, the zenith
The empress of all things rising
Who am I?
Written by: Heiner Schmitz, Veronika Morscher
