Amber Road Lyrics

by M+

A communal procession to the barrow

A richly equipped chamber of departure

A votive offering in the inhumation tomb

An artefact of the cultural landscape

The gold of the north

Connecting civilisations

Connecting epochs

The Amber Road

From the burnishing waves of the unrelenting seas

Across the expanse to the craftsman's skillful hands

Ritualized practices of the times long passed

Compelling questions for those yet to come

The gold of the north

Connecting civilisations

Connecting epochs

Resistant to human bodies decay

A purpose in the matter without soul to remain

Uncovered from deep under ground

To reclaim its shine

The gold of the north

Connecting civilisations

Connecting epochs

The gold of the north

Connecting civilisations

Connecting epochs

The Amber Road

Once valuable possessions

The earth yields its treasures again

History is recalled

As the elite distinction decays
