Now the flame that you held 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 fit to even speak your name RIP.
RIP all those who died believing they were fighting for a just cause & RIP all those who died knowing they were fighting for a just cause. No more Brother wars!
On a far off August day, cold young men in ambush lay On a roadside on 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 placed beside your shoulders Rosary beads like teardrops on your fingers Friends and comrades standing by, in their grief they wonder why Michael in our hour of need you had to go And when evening twilight came, gentle fell the August rain Oh but you lay still and silent on the ground As we hung our heads in prayer, in our sorrow and despair We wondered was it friend or foe who shot you down Chorus Now the flame that you held 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 fit to even speak your name RIP.

Never heard any of the family mention if Mick was into music or not most of the family that came to the East End were all musicians in old time music halls , the new cinema's playing piano as my gran did or army musicians

Excellently sung young man. Love 💕💕💕. Up West CORK. Conny
What a beautiful tune
One of the greatest persons passed from the planet.
On a far off August day, cold young men in ambush lay
On a roadside on 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 placed beside your shoulders
Rosary beads like teardrops on your fingers
Friends and comrades standing by, in their grief they wonder why
Michael in our hour of need you had to go
And when evening twilight came, gentle fell the August rain
Oh but you lay still and silent on the ground
As we hung our heads in prayer, in our sorrow and despair
We wondered was it friend or foe who shot you down
Chorus
Now the flame that you held 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 fit to even speak your name RIP.
