I heard this hard rock song on the CLASSIC ROCK radio station. It was sorta in the vein of Van Halen or Dio or any of those kinds of bands. The thing I remembered about the lyrics was that it rhymed "fire" with "higher". And no, it's no The Doors. Any help?

EDIT: Also, something about a mountain in the lyrics, IIRC.


EDIT2: Oh man. I found it. It's Man on the Silver Mountain by Rainbow. Rainbow's lead singer is Dio. Previously, I only heard one Dio song, and that was Holy Diver. I knew nothing about him except that he sang hard classic rock. Somehow, his name came into my head when I was listening to that song on the radio. I had no idea it was actually him. I guess I know sooo much about music that I subconciously recognize very fine subtleties of styles of different musicians from just ONE song!!! Wow, I rock.
