May have posted before, but it just came up in rotation again.
Believe -- Savatage (also recorded by their successor Trans Siberian Orchestra)
It's just good. Really good.
Yes, the lyrics are very Thumperish and odd for a non-thumper to like, but ....
I am the way
I am the light
I am the dark inside the night
I hear your hopes
I feel your dreams
And in the dark I hear your screams
Don't turn away
Just take my hand
And when you make your final stand
I'll be right there
I'll never leave
All I ask of you
Believe
Believe
Maybe it's the music, or the way it's sung .....
Then again, it could also be about a close human partner ....
