This is the sequel to our earlier song 'Kin' and works backwards from the death of my grandfather to when he first came to the UK with my grandmother. It's about forgiving your family and forgiving yourself for mistakes real or perceived. You are not a part 2 to your parents' or grandparents lives or previous errors. It's about ending a circle of violence and abuse.

lyrics

This is the last time I saw you.

Thinking back as a kid you always were the first to blame. For the reason, for his fate for his fault and all mistakes. I can’t live in shadows of a family man, a hateful man, so torn apart from his youth. All of which I never knew. Sailed across foreign seas. Loving wife, dad of 3. Can’t heal the scars. You badly treat. Only spreads to younger seeds, the rotten tree it’ll die with me. It's dying roots hollowed out but I’ll try my best. It’ll stop with me.

And now you’re dead and gone. We’ll fix where things went wrong.

I got lost in the hospital, the last night you drew breath. I hope you found some final peace, when the good Lord that you met.

This is the last time I saw you.

My padded shoes, the car park floor. Yellow halls and life support. Last words said, sat in silence, slowly bent to kiss your head. When you left I hope you know, no hate was at your funeral. Closed our eyes and covered up the wounds of old. Dark past gone, we’ll leave it there. Try our best to all repair. Can’t live in paths of things not right. All the hate I left that night. In hospitals and cemeteries there’s some good lasting good in these new grown leaves.

And now you’re dead and gone. We’ll fix where things went wrong.

I got lost in the hospital, the last night you drew breath. I hope you found some final peace, when the good Lord that you met.

And now you’re dead and gone. We’ll fix where things went wrong.

I got lost in the hospital, the last night that you drew breath. I hope you found some final peace, when the Lord you met.
This is the last time I saw you.
