Biografia:
Septeto informalmente liderado por Efrim Menuck (também guitarrista dos Godspeed You! Black Emperor), os Silver Mount Zion surgem em 1999 próximos da corrente pós-rock (um repensar de ideias rapidamente esvaziado de significado pelos desinspirados do triste carrossel instrumental), mas será provavelmente na experiência minimalista primitiva, na composição clássica e na música de câmara que encontramos os pontos de referência mais interessantes e significativos.

[Verse 1]
C#m A
On silver mount zion
E G#m
All buried in ruins
C#m A
We was dancing the hora
E G#m
Until we vomited blood
C#m A
Spinning like crazy
E G#m
Shoshana was jonesing
C#m A
The towers had fallen
E G#m
And the wind called out my grandfather's name
[Verse 2]
C#m A
Let's kill first the banker
E G#m
With his professional demeanor
C#m A
Let's televise and broadcast
E G#m
The raping of kings
C#m A
Let our crowds be fed on
E G#m
Teargas and plate-glass
C#m A
Cause a people united
E G#m
Is a wonderful thing
[Verse 3]
C#m A
I know that you're dying
E G#m
And I know I'm unwell
C#m A
And together we sashay
E G#m
Through variations of hell
[Bridge]
C#m A E G#m
And as you walk through valleys of fear
C#m A E C#m
The lure of my bed is ever near
[Outro]
C#m A E G#m
Oh, don't be afraid, though the parade
A
Will not pass our way
C#m A E
It's nobler to never get paid
G#m A
Than to bank on shit and dismay
