Description: "hang on to each other" from "Horses in the Sky" album. I threw an image from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind in there since it seemed to fit the mood. Mainly just trying to get their lesser known music out there.

Title: A Silver Mt. Zion - Ring Them Bells (fan video)
Description: A Silver Mt. Zion - Ring Them Bells (Freedom Has Come and Gone)
This is a fan music video for A Silver Mt. Zion's song "Ring Them Bells (Freedom Has Come and Gone)". It's from their album "Horses in the Sky" where the band was called "Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra & Tra-La-La Band".
All pictures and video clips on the video are shot by me. I tried to use pictures that'd fit with the atmosphere and I also tried to sync the pictures with song tempo. I don't think I succeeded that well, but the point in this video is the music, I love this song. The song is actually 13:58 long, but I only used the beginning from it (about 0:45 - 4:10).

Lyrics:
Ring them bells
Ring them sorrowfull bells
Now freedom has come and gone
We've been waiting so long
Never ever so long
Now freedom as come and gone
Shake that tail
Like any other worried soul
Now freedom as come and gone
Steamtrain's coming
Thirteen stories high
If that steamtrain don't come
I swear i will lay down and die
The city makes canyons
All littered with snow
And beneath their crummy towers
Our tiny bodies blow and blow
So drown them bells
Drown them miserable bells
Freedom has come and gone
Freedom has come and gone
Freedom has come and gone
Freedom has come and gone
...
Also, some pictures were used twice. So sue me.

asmz live THERE'S A LIGHT
Lyrics (Part 1):
Blown to waste, the starlight
Pale as the morning falls away
The devil reached on
And flat raised upon
Were torn asunder, 'neath his gaze
So come on ye' children,
If there's one thing we know
It's that those gathering clouds
Are swinging low
So don't you be precious
And man don't you be meek
There ain't no dim glory
In the long retreat
Don't carve the flight
Satellites on us
And we're building a tower
There's so many of us
No making of light
There's so many of us
Now weak on the prowl
There's so many of us
Ain't no truth but the known truth, but the known truth, yeah
Ain't no fruit but the known fruit, but the known fruit, yeah
Ain't no fall but the long fall, it's a long fall, yeah
Ain't no way but the true way is the dim light, yeah
But I've the light on, and been longing for the light
To fall all over me
Six and six parson, and he doth proclaim
That the best little bits of us misfits and strings
Making light in the night the means to be saved (ashamed?)
All for one unto all and done fall all in the same
And now we fall, and we go down and down
And our wings like fists, like wings on a cloud
And the one step, the two step, the three step we lead
And show me the lightning now

A Silver Mount Zion performs "13 Blues for Thirteen Moons" from 13 Blues for Thirteen Moons (2008)
Lyrics:
Blackout at the terror trials
It's the 6th year of their wars
I'm pacing shotgun hallways while my fucking neighbour snores
But I swear I hear them cannon 6 miles out from shore
There's ravens in the gun trees
There's ravens in the gun trees
There's ravens in the gun trees
There's ravens in the gun trees
Singing « this one by proxy »
Singing « that one by gun »
Singing « this one in water »
Singing « that one in blood »
I live by the railroad
I don't get no sleep
Four corners resplendent
With indie rocks creeps
I just want some action
I just want some action
I just want some action
I just want some action
I just want some action
I just want some action
This bright boy's getting old
This town is too damn cold
I just want some action
I just want some action
I just want some action
I just want some action
No heroes on my radio
No heroes on my radio
No heroes on my radio
No heroes on my radio
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The ec'nomics of our trembling selves
The palsied pit where bad hearts yell
Let it be done. Let it be soon...
13 blues for thirteen moons
You're gold of heart
And golden wings are lashed upon your troublings
This filthy moat
In which we swim
Is not our fate
These stubbornlimbs
These open hands
These wicked winds
The hearts of birds keep on thundering
Let it fall down. Man, let it be soon...
13 blues for thirteen moons
In gated chambers
They did meet
With cardboards stocking
Upon their feet
And tattled long
Their tattered road
And none did ease
No others load
The leaden lips
Of spittled gloom
Where leaders lunch
On meat and ruin
And depth and light
Have long been truant
While our nation's shores
Go on bleeding into
The ocean...
Let it fall down. And let it be soon...
13 blues for thirteen moons
The hangman's got a hard-on
The pretty minstrells sway
The pundit reeks of coffin
The banker rapes a maid
The hangman's got a hard-on
The pretty minstrells sway
The pundit reeks of coughin
The banker rapes a maid
We-will-not-sing-at-your-damn-pa-rade
We-will-not-sing-at-your-damn-pa-rade
We-will-not-sing-at-your-damn-pa-rade
We-will-not-sing-at-your-damn-pa-rade
We-will-not-sing...

ASMZ perform THERE'S A LIGHT
Lyrics (part 2):
And there is a night
And there is a light
Yeah, shit is bleak, I've seen it and worried
Timid leaves get lay deep and buried
Entire wings wanna swim
I can barely write
Electrical fence, tantrums and prayers
Bright on those, but must they repent
The pits of this toss the axe to it and start again
The absence of night is its own stubborn light
No light is alight, no light is the true light
There is no light
Done weeping tonight
So we're choking on light
Tell me there is a light
Oh, tell me there is a light
