Lilac - Uli Jon Roth

Tiny Flower

Within thy lilac depth

I see the breathing Universe…

All strength, all wisdom — never changing law.

Infinite Beauty!

Thou art embracing all the power

And the weakness of creation.

In thine embrace I will find ev’rything…

In thee lies hidden all the precious

Knowledge, misteries

Within thy calyx bottomless

Dwells all the vision of the future and the past;

Tiny Flower

Within thy lilac depth

I see the breathing Universe…

Priceful slumber of the child unborn —

And of the ancient man.

Horrors and sorrows — days gone by —

Tomorrows

And peace and beliefs

Waiting for my treacherous kiss

To be disturbed in holy sleep.

Tiny Flower —

I want to become thee

I want to become free

I want to drown myself in thee…
