Lyrics
[Verse 1] Stone in my hand and the fire's still warm
Mud on my boots from the floodplain storm
First time we sowed seed left the wandering life
Village on the river we built it with knives
Flint flakes scatter where the fields gonna grow
Wheat in the furrow watch the wild barley go
Mammoth bones piled by the longhouse door
Wore that wolf pelt till the winter got raw
[Pre-Chorus] Ground that we broke
Grain that we hold
Digging our roots
Deeper than gold
[Chorus] Neolithic nights under the same moon
Shaping the clay while the stars hum a tune
Neolithic days from the dawn to the dusk
Carving our names out of mud and husk
[Post-Chorus] Mud and husk
Mud and husk
[Verse 2] Pottery cracks when the kiln gets hot
Glaze on the rim is the life that we got
Dogs at the gate and the cattle kept low
Counting the seasons by the river that flows
Plow cuts the earth like a scar on the plain
Bread on the fire and we do it again
Woven the basket and tied up the thatch
Children grow tall at our door with a laugh
[Pre-Chorus] Ground that we broke
Grain that we hold
Digging our roots
Deeper than gold
[Chorus] Neolithic nights under the same moon
Shaping the clay while the stars hum a tune
Neolithic days from the dawn to the dusk
Carving our names out of mud and husk
[Post-Chorus] Mud and husk
Mud and husk
[Bridge] Stacked the stones
Set the bones
Passed the torch
Through the unknown
[Chorus] Neolithic nights under the same moon
Shaping the clay while the stars hum a tune
Neolithic days from the dawn to the dusk
Carving our names out of mud and husk
[Outro] Mud and husk
Mud and husk
Mud and husk
[Verse 3] Copper glint where the cold stream bends
Traded the shells from the coast to the ends
Axe head heavy on a hazel haft
Sharpened the edge and I split the shaft
Hillfort ridge with the ditch dug deep
Watchmen count when the shadows creep
Salted the meat in a hollowed-out log
Smoke in my lungs and my breath like fog
[Pre-Chorus] Ground that we broke
Grain that we hold
Digging our roots
Deeper than gold
[Hook] Stone to the sky
Bone to the ground
We been here before
We ain't leaving now
[Verse 4] Long barrow mound where my grandfathers sleep
Seeds in a pouch that my mother would keep
Wove the wool on a warp-weighted loom
Dye from the roots made the cloth go bloom
Bronze in the fire and the mold don't lie
Hammer it flat while the sparks go high
Grain pit lined with the chaff and the straw
First of the harvest and last of the thaw
[Pre-Chorus] Ground that we broke
Grain that we hold
Digging our roots
Deeper than gold
[Hook] Stone to the sky
Bone to the ground
We been here before
We ain't leaving now
Stone to the sky
Bone to the ground
We been here before
We ain't leaving now
