Amber Songtext / Lyric

Deep in the woods there lies a gem

Frozen past with a shape inside

Her struggling hands were stilled halfway

They won't shield the astonished eyes

Now past scars swarm in soughs

As night billows with the dawn

Now the smell of forgotten blood

Wafts on



One day a nymph stopped by an oak

As its rustling boughs sighed “Be mine”

She felt her mouth weave a sweet song

Her arms grew deep into the trunk

Then a glitter caught her eye

Sunlight, deep in the woods

Then a crooked path spread out

As she tore loose






But when that singing died

The echoes laughed

“But the one you leave behind

There are no paths”



From tree to tree, she chased that gleam

Resin keepsakes in her hair

Her back grew heavy with what she'd keep

Till she fell beneath that weight

Then the path was gone, like that

“I've lost my way”, she wailed

Then the air spun golden threads

She screamed as they wove a shell



But soon the screaming died

The echoes laughed

“But the one you leave behind

There are no paths”



Deep in the woods there lies a gem

Frozen past with a shape inside

Her struggling hands were stilled halfway

They won't shield the astonished eyes

Now past scars swarm in soughs

Dawn brought pain and truth

Now an amber seed gleams

In the woods
