Dio - Holy Diver

You've been down too long in the midnight sea

Oh what's becoming of me

Ride the tiger

You can see his stripes but you know he's clean

Oh don't you see what I mean

Gotta get away

Holy Diver

Shiny diamonds

Like the eyes of a cat in the black and blue

Something is coming for you

Race for the morning

You can hide in the sun 'till you see the light

Oh we will pray it's all right

Gotta get away-get away

Between the velvet lies

There's a truth that's hard as steel

The vision never dies

Life's a never ending wheel

Holy Diver

You're the star of the masquerade

No need to look so afraid

Jump on the tiger

You can feel his heart but you know he's mean

Some light can never be seen

Thumbs down to David for crediting Go West's song to FYC.  You kids shouldn't base all your information on bad mp3 tags.  Though "We Close Our Eyes" by Go West would seem to fit too.

Others:

Genesis - "No Reply At All"

Billy Joel - "Pressure" (read the lyrics)

Of course there were plenty of 80s songs specifically about evangelists: Metallica's "Leper Messiah", Anthrax's "Make Me Laugh", Ozzy Osbourne's "Miracle Man", etc.  And a few that unfortunately miss the 80s by a couple of years (Kiss "Thou Shalt Not", Suicidal Tendencies "Send Me Your Money", Genesis "Jesus He Knows Me", Black Sabbath "TV Crimes")
