5 minute "epic" songs?

Unknown One

I see the ghost of navigators.
Just having a chat on IRC about this subject now. What would you class as 5 minute epics songs, as in they have the feel of an epic song that are usually 7mins+ but they are around the 5 minute mark (say use 4:30 - 5:30 as a timeframe)?

For me this would include things like Mother Russia, Children of the Damned, Time Stands Still from Blind Guardian...
 
In that time frame the only 2 I can find Pestilence and Plague + War from Nostradamus and that's about it for songs that feel 'epic' to me :(
 
Quite a few classical music pieces. Zadok the Priest for example is only 6 minutes long but is about as epic as it gets. It really has more to do with the overall composition, build-up and feel of the song than it has to do with length for me.
 
Iron Maiden - Remember Tomorrow
Kamelot - Nights of Arabia
Blind Guardian - Bright Eyes
Ozzy Osbourne - Mr. Crowley
Iced Earth - Stormrider
Bruce Dickinson - Silver Wings
