Somebody sent me a MIDI, YouTube link, plus a transcription of the lyrics:

MICHAEL
(Johnny McEvoy)

On a far off August day… cold young men in ambush lay
On a roadside by a hill where flowers grow
So much hate for one so young.. who was right and who was wrong
Though a thousand years may pass we'll never know


And when evening twilight came,.. gentle fell the autumn rain
Oh but you lay still and silent on the ground
As we hung our heads in prayer.. in our sorrow and despair
We wonder was it friend or foe who shot you down

Now the flame you held up high.. when you called out to the sky
To end this senseless killing and this shame
Has now passed to other hands ..and is carried through the land
By some not even fit to speak your name
