A former village, Amby is now a neighborhood (part 25) of Maastricht, in the Netherlands, located about 4 km northeast of the center of the city.
From January 2, 1839 to July 1, 1970, Amby existed as a separate municipality.
In November 2008, an amateur archaeologist discovered in a field 2 meters out of Amby the largest ever found Celtic gold and silver treasure in the Netherlands. Archaeologists from Maastricht and the VU University Amsterdam recovered 70 silver and 39 golden coins which dates back to the 1st century before Christ.
Celtic treasure of Amby. 1st BC silver and gold coins, found in the Maastricht neighbourhood of Amby in 2008. Perhaps hidden in the ground by Eburones fleeing for Roman invaders.

Otis:
Did I really take her and keep her with me?
Cover her face up so she couldn't breathe?
Cut her eyeballs out so she couldn't see?
I still feel like she is looking at me.
Brought her to the basement and took off her clothes
Did I do the right thing?
God only knows!
Chorus x 4:
Maybe I was only wondering if I could open up your body
Take your heart out and consume
("God only knows!" throughout chorus)
Otis:
Am I really like this? Is this really me?
Am I really the person I want to be?
Is it this life that has created me?
Am I a product of society?
Did I really eat pills cause everything's fucked?!
Can I fall asleep and just never wake up?!!
Chorus x 4:
Maybe I was only wondering if I could open up your body
Take your heart out and consume
