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
Chorus: Candles dripping blood, they place beside your shoulders Rosary beads like teardrops on your fingers Friends and comrades standing by, in their grief they wonder why Michael in their hour of need you had to go
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
Chorus..........Instrumental
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
Chorus…………Tag: Michael in their hour of need why did you go
