Lyrics

All lyrics by Dennis Kasten

End Of An Endless Day

The end of an endless day
The end of the trail
The end of our words and faith
Heartaches and fear

Beauty with grit and grace
Drawing us near
& see that my endless deep is here

In the darkness I’m home
Where a fire won’t burn
No hope is turned down
In the deep of my town

No prayer is lost on us
No prayer is gone
No prayer is too small for us
Our time has come

Right where the evil bows
It bows in awe
We’ll fill their streets
Their graves
Their minds
We’ll fill their hearts


Ever Random Will Of Love

When it turns, you’ll see it
When it burns, it’s breathing
It’s the ever random will of love

Never meant for man to heal it
Never meant to leave the dark
Never meant to seek some distant path

That’s when hope turns to fight
That’s when darkness turns to light
Then you’re finally alive

It’s the will, to seek it
And the will, to leave it
It’s the mourning of the moments lost

You live, you love
You scream, you talk
You sleep, you walk
You pray, you’re lost
You’re weak, your hurt
You fall, you learn
you seek , you yearn
You twist, you turn
I need your touch, and I need your words
You burn my worn down heart

That’s when truth turns to fright
That’s when hate turns to life
Then you’re finally alive


My World Is Burning

There’s no living
No dying
No truth
No lying
There’s just preaching now

All so cold
So deserted
No hope
No hurting
I’m just reaching out

We are wandering
Tumbling
Caught in the chains of love
And we’re reaching out

Hear the voices of Gods
Voices of lovers
Words of the Poets
Words that will show us
To wait for their verdict
Wait for their hunger
Wait for my world to shine

But my world is burning
And I’m reaching out

Nothing’s said
Nothing’s done
Nothing’s gained
Nothing’s gone
They’re just preaching now

All we wish and desire
Is let go for a while and
Follow the will of the turning times
And in time it’s turning


Lovers Gone Op. 9

I stepped into a land
Of a world that I know
With a sky so familiar
& the lives that it holds
In flames it lies
With lies in flames
Dawns another day
Dawns another tale
I lost my way
But now my hope
Dawns another day
Dawns another tale

My only home
Is between shadows and in the sun
Between lovers gone

From a drunken man’s fables
The truth of the damned
Raise a hunger for savior
Now out of our hands
What’s the child
The joy
The crying
The fear
But another day
And another tale
I lost my way
But now my hope
Dawns another day
Dawns another tale


All I Ever Knew

Feeding in the darkness
Just enough to carry you
Far beyond our reach
In all my endless roads

Those streets they feel like home
Where light is turned down low
A hollow fire burns

Like a love I never knew

Can you feel the darkness
Hiding in the scattered light
Trade truth for praise and blame
You made the fire die

A love just out of reach
Always fading
Always moving
Always running
Has burned away to black

Like a love I never knew

It is nothing but a hollow
Nothing but a hollow love

Like a love I never knew


Keep Your Eyes Open

The girl she took
My body
And into my heart she goes
The girl she took
My mind
Still into my heart she goes

I get this feeling
I slowly fall apart
And into my heart she goes
My toes, my fingers, my arms, my legs
Oh yeah, into my heart she goes

In my mind I’m a lion
Caught in a small cage
I sway from side to side
I try, I try, I try not to lose my mind
Into my heart she goes

Come close to me girl
Yeah, come close to me girl
Come close, so close you can feel my heart beat
Into my heart she goes

Keep your eyes open
Keep your eyes open
Open
Open up your heart
Keep your eyes open
Open
Open up your heart

Into my heart she goes


Into The Dark

From far away I hear a voice
Nothing but a gentle howl
I know it’s only hearts
That’s calling us
We’ll escape the thought
And hide it

Into the dark

The pretty ones on the run
The rest seems gone for so long
A love that never came
is calling us, calling us
Leaving love to rust
And hide it

Into the dark


Pray; Run, March, Burn

When the shadows of my mind turns bright
The secret’s out one last time
Believers flock all around you
And the hero’s cracking up inside

Do you see it now?
In the nest their bodies lie
In a burned down haunted town
Do you hear them now?
When they pray; Run, March, Burn!

In the burning streets and flooded halls
We treat their wounds
Jump the walls
The rain won’t wash it off
And the pain won’t ease their fall

When you reach the heart
The heart that lost you right from the start
In this burned down haunted town
Do you hear them now?
When they pray; Run, March, Burn!

Where the skies don’t burn
Where my heart won’t hurt
That’s my burned down haunted town
Do you feel it now?
When they pray; Run, March, Burn!


Let It All Come Down

When the heavens break
Where the heartaches ace
Where our love fades

Sometimes in the soul
Sometimes us all
Sometimes in the bone

When you seek and you find
All that’s yours and mine
And given the time
You will never go back again, go back again, no

We have left all the laughter and hunger
And returned to the fables
All the rhymes, all the prayers
All the turning points
You have been sent to

When there’s so much to dream
And so much to heal
And so many ways to go
We will never go back again, go back again, no

It Will All Come Down

From the light and the moon in the dark
The hope we deserted
From my lungs all my words belong
To a time and a burden

It’s a long time, but never found lover
A love I hope you’ll never find
You’re never let down

Let It All Come Down

Into the light of a distant past
Enter the dark and empty land
A stranger is found, and a stranger is left to carry on
If there’s a heart you’ll find your way
Over again, over again
