Answer
 I have never heard this song that I can recall,  but was able to do some research.
  The band that did this song apparently just started getting somewhat popular as rock music was taking it's final breaths.  
  It seems the songs name is Armageddon and is done by Prism, and is on an album called Prism.  
  From what I can find , they are a pop band that formed in 1975 and released a few albums between then and 1993.  
 It doesn't appear to me that they got all that popular.  They have a few ratings at Rate Your Musics web site.

 I hope this information  is what you are looking for.

I can answer general questions about rock era bands, record labels they were on, and names of songs. Often I can tell the name of the record company that released a song, as well as the name of the song, and the year of release based on some of the lyrics. I grew up during the rock era and I am a musician myself, and always read the album and 45 info for production credits as well as lineups. One of the chat rooms I go to is quite amused at my ability to name a song along with it`s year of release and record label. I was also a record collector for years.
