about

Set on Hackney Marshes. Inspired by the tragic story of a friend of the band.

lyrics

He went away to wash away the sin
Of a life of pained dissonance
The world remained ambivalent to him
The thoughts and fears of a troubled man

The hours of the day
The things he used to
That linger and remain
That stain won’t wash away

Away from home in darkest night
The holes are black, the future dies
On winter marshlands, out of sight
He kept a pledge to end his life

The hours of the day
The things he used to
That linger and remain
That stain won’t wash away

Flowers I had to send, commemorating a journey’s end
And all the dreams and what could have beens are gone
Good times, the laughs and jokes, revelries in the times we were close
The possibility of re-living those is gone
