Lilac Lyrics for 25 May every year
All the little angels rise up, rise up,
All the little angels rise up, rise up,
All the little angels rise up high.
All those little angels rise up, rise up,
All those little angels rise up, rise up high.
How do they rise up, rise up, rise up?
How do they rise up, rise up, rise up?
How do all the little angels rise up, rise up high?
All those little angels rise up, rise up,
All those little angels rise up, rise up high.
How do all those little angels rise up, rise up high?
They rise up heads up, heads up, heads up,
They rise up heads up, heads up high.
All the little angels rise up, heads up, heads up high.
All those little angels rise up, rise up,
All those little angels rise up, rise up high.
How do all those little angels rise up, rise up high?
All those little angels rise up, heads up, heads up high.
All the little angels ascend up to Heaven,
All the little angels ascend up to Heaven,
All the little angels rise up, rise up ascend first to Heaven.
All those little angels rise up, rise up,
All those little angels rise up, rise up high.
How do all those little angels rise up, rise up high?
All those little angels rise up, heads up, heads up high.
All those little angels rise up, rise up ascend first to Heaven.
All the little angels ascend up on high,
Which end up? Ascend up, which end up? Ascend up
All the little angels end up ascend up, end up ascend up on high.
All those little angels rise up, rise up,
All those little angels rise up, rise up high.
How do all those little angels rise up, rise up high?
All those little angels rise up, heads up, heads up high.
All those little angels rise up, rise up ascend first to Heaven.
All those little angels end up ascend up, end up ascend up on high.
Where do they rise up from, where from, where from,
From earth to heaven out of the sun, out of the sun,
That’s how they rise up, rise up out of the sun, out of the sun.
All those little angels rise up, rise up,
All those little angels rise up, rise up high.
How do all those little angels rise up, rise up high?
All those little angels rise up, heads up, heads up high.
All those little angels rise up, rise up ascend first to Heaven.
All those little angels end up ascend up, end up ascend up on high.
That’s how they rise up, rise up out of the sun, out of the sun, out of the sun…
The blossom out will soon be gone
Without a doubt we will remember them in song
Lilac Lyrics for 25 May every year
Penned by PHH Sykes in 2018 taken in part from traditional sources and hopefully here given out to some new voices.
My understanding is that this is a traditional song that has at times been sung by military units and that Sir Terry Pratchett used some lines from versions known to him in his novel Night Watch.
I do not intend to break the copyright of the novel, or to do other than to add to the due homage given to The People's Republic of Treacle Mine Road as created by Sir Terry Pratchett in Night Watch and now fittingly commemorated and celebrated through the The People's Revolution of the Glorious Twenty-Fifth of May as an active banner day for The Lilac in the struggle with Alzheimer's disease with other dementia.
