I feel like Revelations pops up quite often as the Song of the Hour. That's not a knock on it or a complaint, just an observation from a casual observer.
 
Legitimate guesses but no to both.

EDIT and to "7SOA7S"

Clue #1: the chorus of this song is repetitive (helpful, isn't it?)

Clue #2:
"That is not dead which can eternal lie
Yet with strange aeons even death may die."
