Edguy is a German power metal band, and while they sing in English it sometimes seems like it's a ... distant second language for them. I find a lot of their lyrics a bit odd, occasionally nonsensical. But damn it if doesn't work anyway. Heavy metal after all is really about emotion. Romance over reason. And of course volume. Crank this one up and enjoy; it feels like you're in church, but the coolest, heaviest service ever.
Tobias Sammet is a terrific singer and is particularly inspired on this one. The closing bit starting at 8:58 is divine. Pardon the pun.
Walk on and don't be afraid

Great song. Are you familiar Rhapsody? The lyrics are sometimes odd like with Edguy, but the music is a shot of energy like no other. There is something to Italian power metal bands that just works perfectly.
Hi Gonzalo! I don't know Rhapsody... any song I should check out by them?
Hey, Brian. I think you'd like them.
Here's one of their newer songs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hERe22uVKKk
And this is one of their most popular albums. I really like it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVTWmTyaIVo&list=OLAK5uy_m5SMP9g43iuDZ3MPKA8Nlr6efjf3jzcd8&index=1
