    Okay, I didn't realize it would be a difficult one - it's a quite well known song after all, from a soundtrack that should be well known to many rpg gamers... ;)

    I'll post a little more of the lyrics here:

    What can you see
    On the horizon?
    Why do the white gulls call?
    Across the sea
    A pale moon rises
    The ships have come to carry you home

    And all will turn
    To silver glass
    A light on the water
    All Souls pass

    I'm pretty sure that's from 99 Red Balloons - Nena (the English version obviously). I'm somewhat, but not completely, ashamed of knowing this.

    You're correct. TBH, I'm more ashamed knowing the German and English versions. :shame:

    "Cygnus X-I Book II Hemispheres" (and to be more precise it's from the fifth part of the song, "Cygnus bringer of balance") by Rush.

    I knew it was only a matter of time for BOC or Splunge to show up. Correct, of course.

    The quiet of the night never gave them warning
    The silence of the hills wouldn't let them know
    They'd never rise again on a mist filled morning
    Never see the sunrise above Glen Coe

    Hints: Famous Scottish hard rock band. The title of the song is a year related to the site which is mentioned in the above lyrics.

    The Massacre of Glencoe was in the late 17th century, but that is as much as I can manage.

    The only hard rock Scottish band I know are Nazareth, and the only song I am familiar with is 'My White Bicycle'.

    So is it Nazareth?

    Yes, it's Nazareth from their second album. Cuchulainn got the band, Carcaroth almost got the subtitle of the song (The Glen Coe Massacre), so he who will post the title is the winner.

    Gave up and googled it. Nobody managed it in song quote game 4 either! It obviously strikes a chord with dmc though.
