Hope this thread isn't too far gone for me to bump, but I heard a song from my past today that has always given me goosebumps, and still does. Great lyrics, awesome vocals and the full orchestra in the background definitely puts this one as one of my all-time favorites.
Queensryche - Silent Lucidity
