The Dens Songtext
von Rhoten Rhen

"Tell me who you are and what you want to be"
A young man in the dens with my family
I call them home, I grew up in dens too
I run one now it′ll soon run a few

"Keep hold your faith don't life astray"
Where would I go? You don′t know what you say
Don't preach to me like your some kind of friend
My only friend is my family of dens

My child, don't run from me
One day you′ll be back home, eventually
It pains me knowing you′re not alright
When you lay your head to rest at night

Somehow I must reach though
To bring you back, I miss you
But every time I call your name
You're in the dens and it′s all the same to me

To me


Tell you who I am and what I've done to be
An grown man in the dens with my family
My one home in the dens where I grew
I run them now and I don′t mean a few

I kept it on and I moved every day
All the same until I rest my bones to lay
Don't talk with your eyes in a rose lens
Pride, power, money all wait me in the dens

Where you ever there, was your love ever free?
Left me in the dens yet you say you didn′t flee
Every time I called you didn't hear a word
Left out to dry and eaten by the birds

Where I am now is why I don't believe
How could you not do a thing, and say you grieve

You′re not my family you′re not my friend
Even now standing at the very end

Tell me who you are and what you had to be
An old man in the dens with your family
You called them home, it was all you knew to do
You ran them down and they overran you


Up and walked away to live your life a stray
Where will you go? There's no den left to stay
I carried you as your only friend
I was your friend, I loved you in the dens
