Five Iron Frenzy started as a local side-project of Reese, Keith, Micah, and Scott's band Exhumator. Although the original intent was for the band to stay local and help support the local music scene, Five Iron Frenzy (FIF, or Five Iron) signed to Frank Tate's 5 Minute Walk records in 1995 and was touring nationally within a year. They reached the peak of their fame around 2000, with the release of All The Hype That Money Can Buy. They were known for dressing up in wacky costumes and fundraising for social causes. In December 2002, they announced that they would be breaking up after a final tour. They played the final show of the tour on November 22, 2003 at the Fillmore Auditorium in Denver, which was recorded for The End Is Here (disc 2) (this disc features that show in its entirety and was sold with the band's album, The End is Near). This show had an attendance of over 4,000 people.
On November 22, 2011, they announced via social media outlets and a week-long online scavenger hunt that they were recording a new album. The entire project was crowd funded in under an hour and met with a reunion show and touring. The results of the endeavor, Engine of a Million Plots, was released on November 26th, 2013. All members of the 2003 lineup participated in the project, with the exception of bassist Keith Hoerig, who was replaced by original guitarist Scott Kerr (who had left the band in 1998).
World Without End
Five Iron Frenzy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To laws of physics,
No one's ever heard or seen,
A more beautiful thing,
Than this love that saved us.
[Chorus]
In the soundless awe and wonder,
How beautiful,
How vast your love is,
New forever,
World without an end.
The very spark that burns the stars,
Drew near to me today,
The God of everything that is,
Whispered in my ear that His love is boundless.
The song "World Without End" by Five Iron Frenzy is a beautiful anthem of praise for the boundless love of God. The song opens with lyrics that seem to elude to the limits of human knowledge and understanding - "For all the deepest thought compiled, philosophy, To laws of physics, No one's ever heard or seen, A more beautiful thing." Despite everything that humanity has seen or known, the love of God is still the most beautiful thing imaginable. The chorus further emphasizes this point, declaring that words are insufficient to describe the awe and wonder inspired by God's love.
The second verse of the song takes a more personal turn as the singer describes a moment of divine inspiration - "The very spark that burns the stars, Drew near to me today, The God of everything that is, Whispered in my ear that His love is boundless." Here, the singer is describing a moment of personal revelation or spiritual encounter in which they felt the presence of God and understood the boundlessness of God's love. The song ends on this note of hope and wonder, leaving the listener with a sense of awe and gratitude for the love of God.
Overall, "World Without End" is a powerful and moving tribute to the boundless love of God. Its lyrics invite listeners to contemplate the depths of God's love and the endless possibilities that love holds for the future.

For all the deepest thought compiled, philosophy
Despite all the philosophical pondering throughout history
To laws of physics, no one's ever heard or seen
Even the laws of physics cannot account for what is being experienced
A more beautiful thing than this love that saved us
Nothing compares to the beauty of the love that has rescued us
In the soundless awe and wonder, words fall short to hope again
This experience of awe and wonder is ineffable and words fail to capture its essence
How beautiful, how vast your love is, new forever, World without an end
The love being encountered is so immense and never-ending that it brings about a new and eternal world
The very spark that burns the stars, drew near to me today
The same force that ignites and sustains the stars came near and revealed itself today
The God of everything that is, whispered in my ear that his love is boundless
The Creator of all things is communicating that his love has no limits or boundaries
