thank God the world’s been saved
\nMarx is in his grave
\nthe hammer and sickle lie broken on the ground
\nif we’re through with history
\nthen why this misery?
\nall the world was thrilling to the sound
\nwhen the wall came crashing down
\nso tell me why i can’t explain
\nthis howling deep within my veins
\nis it the pulling of some secret tide?<\/p>\n

it’s the raging
\nthe raging of the moon
\nawaken
\nfrom the raging of the moon<\/p>\n

see the path we take
\nsee the bed we make
\noh let the Spirit open our eyes
\n(we get comfortable with lies)
\nthe magic’s at an end
\nthe line’s been crossed again
\nthe truth keeps getting further from our lives
\nit’s all been disguised
\nthe moon is full and red as wine
\na symbol of our fallen times
\nwhen will the stars come crashing down from our eyes?<\/p>\n

it’s the raging
\nthe raging of the moon
\nawaken
\nfrom the raging of the moon
\nare we shaken?
\nfor the signs are coming true
\noh, we must awaken
\nfrom the raging of the moon

After sixteen years, the sound is a little dated, but Tales of Wonder<\/em> by Whiteheart is still an amazing album. It’s out of fashion to do stacked harmonic vocals and gratuitous guitar solos, but songs like “Unchain”, “Who Owns You”, “Where The Thunder Roars”, and “Gabriela” are still pretty powerful. They are artifacts from a different time, but they are very much a part of my high school life, which was also a different time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
