God Bless Our Dead Marines -- A Silver Mt. Zion

[phenethylaminedreams]

when the world is sick,

can't no one be well

but i dreamt we was all beautiful and strong.

[BEERISGOOD420]

The human condition wrapped up in a song. Oh how beutiful and sad it is.

[13FuckedMonkey12]

SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTT­TTT the end!!!!! D:

[Uomopagaia]

The Greates Song EVER!!!

[Calgiey]

"Wheres all the repeated beats and electro noises?! Fuck this shit back to main stream"

Sarcasum btw ;)

While people blast tiny temper in there car this will be my song of choice

time and time again god bless our dead marine

[MrBogusSmogus]

Another killer dead. God bless the living.

[SpawnRevenge92]

The "lost a friend to..." part breaks my heart every time.

[Zanabism]

One of the best songs I've ever heard.

This song could change the world if the world was willing to listen.

[Molotov8575]

@aerosol16 I'm sure we'll find another country to invade and rape to make our money...

[chesterfieldoriental]

please say me when they are in austria or germany i must see them,

please

[oxfordstep]

such a beautiful song,. only term, tad cliche and internet-y, but it is genuinely EPIC.

[TheArtificialLights]

yes the voice is annoying at first but then you realize it fits the song in a way no other voice could.

[08Forgotten02hero07]

The one thing you kids cant hate on about a silver mt zion is they have a wonderful sound that no one can match... A very different sound with messages that come out in every song and most have little to no words... Amazing music... What happened to just sitting back and listening how did everyone all of a sudden become a critic? You go out and try to make a different sound succeed then you can maybe have something to say... If no shut the hell up and listen...

[MrPetay]

they are from canada

[aerosol16]

America the most powerful nation? Jesus, amazing how people stil cant read the writing on the wall.... the great 'world police' is finished, kapoot, nil. There arent many more years to come, you're broke and the world hates your guts . Third world status, here you come

[fimatmax]

@aerosol16 well put my man

[Vixlacimaa]

Where's the other half of the song? O-o

[HaleyHazeanSkyler]

This guys like tone def. 

[halomanalden]

@HaleyHazeanSkyler The off sound is suppose to be purposeful, it oddly fits the music. Its one of those things that you either love or you hate. Either way is fine, your opinion.

[believe1god]

There are a lot of good marines dead. The evil ones are still alive. Hope they will change too.

[d33g1]

@believe1god Too fucking bad for you. Marines live forever

[ranbassi]

Everyone's blessing the ones with the guns.. what about the ones without weapons or even it seems human rights or justice? I know people who have joined the Armed Forces, because of lack of oppurtunities. They do deserve blessings, don't get me wrong. But theres a difference between blessing a political cause and blessing a human in suffering. The hundreds of thousands of dead civilians had absolutely no choice, and were trying to live their lives just like you and me. Lets bless them too. Ahem

[sterlingotron]

@ranbassi I think there's some sarcasm in the title that you're missing.

[teaguertugee]

"Troubled hearts map deserts and they rarely do come back."

[DaKhelwar]

DEATH TO THE BRINGERS OF DEATH. DIE U MARINE MOTHERFUCKERS... BURN FOR ALL ETERNITY IN HELL.

[ThePostRockProject]

@DaKhelwar how dose anyone benefit from a comment like that. you may be angry at America but so many others are angry at people like you as well. Like me you are from the UK, this means you have nothing to complain about. you have a chance for education, health care etc. Whereas others do not. put life in perspective, comments like yours don't change anything.

[DaKhelwar]

@ThePostRockProject. the benefit is it strikes fear ino the hearts of marines.... GO TO UR DEATH.

[ThePostRockProject]

@DaKhelwar your obviously not going to understand. I am finding it quite funny how obnoxious you are. for your sake i will put it simply, your viewpoint is uneducated, unnecessary and making you look stupid. If you haven't noticed YouTube follows very western views mostly. People like you who talk like that do not belong here. Nobody cares what you think. Chances are you have never been to a war zone involving the marines nor have you seen anything they have destroyed or achieved.Dont reply!

[DaKhelwar]

@ThePostRockProject.haha dont try n condescend me, fuck u n ur views, their insignificant to me.my mind is made up on the illegal war n injustices. dont embarass yaslf n tell me i dont belong on youtube ha ha ha what a joke, does ur dad own youtube??ur all snakes with ur twisted ways n words. u cant talk us into being what u want us to be, we r educated n understand how to read between ur snake words. we will go with the flow for 'show' to appease yall but privately we hold views u woudnt like.

[ThePostRockProject]

@DaKhelwar everyone is entitled to put their opinion on YouTube but what i was trying to say is that you are in the minority. If you are so clever you would see how pointless you accusations are. Just to make it clear, are you Muslim or of a middle eastern background? because you obviously feel very strongly about this topic. I am not trying to take a side. There is a good chance the U.S went into recent wars for oil but these decisions were made by people high up. The marines are not to blame.

[DaKhelwar]

@ThePostRockProject. ' these decisions were made by people high up. The marines are not to blame' lol the nazis file n rank said the same thing at nuremberg. the hague court is a joke that only chases african leaders, itl never prosecute the real terrorists from the west. their is no justice in this world. simple way of finding out whos the bad guy in a conflict.... see who causes the death of the most civilians.. its the imperialst west.

[DaKhelwar]

@ThePostRockProject. u r not wrth my time. u live in disneyland. i live in a injust globalised world thats watchs the muslims gt massacred slowly for various fuuckked up reasons, be it oil, land, whatver. n the world does fuckk all about it, instead they shun the Muslim that opposes the soldiers that r drenched in the blood of the Muslims. dont reply, just take in what ive said.

[ThePostRockProject]

@DaKhelwar we are obviously never going to see eye to eye on this. We each think the other is talking out their ass about a subject that is hidden in layers of bullshit.We both think we are more intelligent than the other and that the other is a loudmouthed bastard.America is the worlds most powerful nation and no doubt they will go about their controversial business for many years to come. You shouldn't worry, you cant change a thing. Be thankful for what you have. I respect you for being open.

[LoKimLinProject]

@DaKhelwar america is the world police with great power comes great responsibility's and I know people in europe want us to fight this war more than some americans do you have to look at all the point of views before you make your own. this song is a universal song it's meaning is timeless and is in no ways related to this war but me is about empathy other than pointing the finger listen to the joker in the dark knight talk about the plan with two face you'll understand the meaning of this song!

[HerzogGunzo1]

A soldier is a soldier

A marine is a deadly weapon, made for spreading death among the enemy

It's every soldier's own decision to become a marine,...

-so don't hide behind orders, don't cry about killing or be killed.

[xKaoticKarmax]

You people are freaking insane! passing judgment on something you have no right to. It's a song, treat it as such... Just enjoy it.

[coolbeanssyoo]

This is beautiful.

[BetterTasteThanU]

very garbage

[MrSausagebiscuits]

the guy sounds like shit singing this. sounds like hes almost just shouting this shit. it's got a cool rhythm but damn I know he can sound better than this. he sounded fine in mountains made of steam

[banear]

mmm

[MrTrunkmunky]

This band is from where exactly...? oh that's right Canada. Although I'm ashamed of some of the things my country has done this song has nothing to do with them.

[corycc123]

This is an amazing song. I haven't heard some god rock like this in forever!

[Deerwalk]

i want to like this song but the guys voice is so fucking annoying

[wudgywudgywudgy]

@Deerwalk i agree i fckin hate it

[nondualaspiegirl]

Both these bands are genius! Such a treat to see live : )

[belindasdfghjkl]

the world is sick can't no one be well.

[krazzyyo2]

dead...good riddance..

[Fshifty]

@krazzyyo2 wow.

[ajoylessparade]

get through this life without killing anyone......

Good luck.

[AlexPwnU123]

This song reminds me of my cousins war storys in Irac

[YerJob]

best title for a song ever

[rolldeep321]

these guys man get killed for nothing i hate them and feel sorry for them at the same time! they all need to get out of afghanistan and let them people live in peace the people of afghan dont want any foreigners... uk and usa marines need to go back to there familys before more people die.........its sad

[kidmoney2007]

@rolldeep321 Marines just do as they are told by others higher in power. It's not up to the Marines themselves to make the decision. They just do the mission.

[Nizzemanden]

@kidmoney2007 oh shut up, it's not like they didn't have a choice not to. It's all their own decision, and if they want to do that shit, they fucking deserves to get put in the warzone and get slaughtered. /5 cents

[Bjarku]

@Nizzemanden precisely. i have no idea why people who sign a contract with their government stating that they'll kill who they're told to kill are lauded as heroes. killing who you're assigned to kill for money doesn't make you a hero, it makes you a piece of shit. already in the army when a war started? tough shit, serve your time in prison, nobody is FORCING you to kill innocent civilians. Soldiers who participate in wars of aggression deserve everything they get.

[Nizzemanden]

@Bjarku i agree wholeheartedly.

[Bjarku]

@Nizzemanden its nice to come across someone else who can see through the bullshit!

[Nizzemanden]

@Bjarku i wonder why it doesn't happen more often, i mean it's the least opaque bunch of shite i can recall, but i guess people are often too proud to admit.

[Bjarku]

@kidmoney2007 Nazi prison guards just followed orders when they carried out the holocaust. that doesnt make it okay. its not okay to kill people just because someone has told you to do it. that makes you an amoral retard.

[chilipeppersrule20]

I wish the whole song was here, but other than that, this is pretty far out!

[Moltile]

this song is quite annoying

i think its the singing that pic and the instruments

lol gee

[quizlixx]

i love this song

[killshin]

As she dreams sweet puppy dreams, whimpering gently...

[SaneLunacy]

Such a sick song.

[PARISAMIL]

quelq un peut me passer un lexomil ? lol

[waxnfax]

@PARISAMIL , well, its not fucking disco...

[PARISAMIL]

moi ça me deprime !! lol ,je vais prendre mon prozac et je reviens

[123Toast]

This music means so much to me and the lyrics are incredibly profound... It's the kind of music I try to show to my friends and they just sort of look at me like I'm strange. It's really nice to get on here and see other people who appreciate this as much as I do

[LogInAnders]

@123Toast You are not the only one. My friends don't like this either. Let them be. They are missing out. The only thing you personally can do is if you find something new that isn't exactly your thing you should try to open to it as well. If only people were more tolerant it would be easier to live. Glad you enjoy this too.

[industrialborn]

they hold some of gy!be's style but with the voice is something totally different and somewhat weird...and the lyrics are rather weird as well...given the fact that they were more keen to subtleties...

[ireallyhatejesus]

actually, you cut out the nina simone bit, but it's sadly understandable.

[ThisThreadSucksBut]

There's fresh meat in the club tonight

God bless our dead marines

:p

[LiftYourSkinnyFist]

You cut up the song... I loved the part that you cut...

[thegooddoctor1000]

Incredible

[Ackbar001]

Merkwürdiges zeugs

[bombshellshock]

david cross literally shit his pants.

cheekiness aside, I hear you. Language; it's dying as much as our marines. both detrimental to our future generation's well-being and wisdom.

post script: never confuse wisdom with knowledge. to know something is not to be intelligent. make use of what you know.

God bless our dead marines.

[ThisThreadSucksBut]

@bombshellshock hmmm wtf m8 evolution of language and violent idiots dying should both b occurin @ faster rates brah. chill out...

[ddotdotdott]

**beautiful**

[scarvasa]

this is the high price for (oil) export the democracy

[dieuhbeatus]

Beautiful composition.

[Bigassrobot]

7:09 and on is amazing

[JoedPiro8411]

hersheyguy: liberal imperialism aint so bad

[dirdawuth]

@JoedPiro8411 how can you say that? it is the cause of almost every war,of every misery and unjustice

[ChunkyPirate]

The end...

/mindblown

[Bodaciousss]

I dreamt we was all beautifull and strong...

[kayleighcochroach]

@Bodaciousss thats my favorite part when they sing it over and over!!!

[hersheyguy]

i cant understand how people would support imperialism. the point is moot.

its good music.

[gatersy]

because they are NOT idiots??

[000sadgirl]

god bless them.and bless us soldiers deads too

[entropyfu]

I love my dog and she loves me

the worlds a mess and so are we

[Wercik997]

I'm in freakin' love.

[Wercik997]

I'm in fuckin' love.

[shutXitXmimmzy]

i get chills every time i listen.

[gabey123]

i love this song and the name of the band and the part almost at the end where its just the singing!! [well the singing and piano] and than every one starts singing in a round!!

[zeppelinkamikaze]

I am an Ivy intellectual. My best friend is not. I literally had to convince him to get over the initial shock of the voice, but this song has become the one thing we have in common.He loves it and for months it has been literally my single favorite song. I normally refer to it as a piece rather than a song.

"Troubled hearts map deserts. And they rarely do come back."

It's like reading Bolano.

Also, that bench in the photo is the exact same one that my parents used to have on the porch.

[losanarchos]

"Mmmm, excuuuuse me, sir, may ask you for some Grey Poupon?"

[Deerwalk]

You literally had to convince him? As opposed to fugitively convincing him? An Ivy intellectual indeed.

[SugarFreeRecordsUK]

Ahaha...His point could of been fairly literal...But I'm still with you...I cannot stand the figurative use of literally.

"Oh I had a great curry last night, my mouth was literally on fire"

Well show me the scars then!

"I was so scared I was literally shitting myself"

What did you do with your pants?

Haha...Tools

[HystericalMadness]

"they put angels in the electric chair"

this is brilliancy.

[zwelf12]

brillant

[Polomino13]

oh... i feel like my mind was fucked... x_x

[gatersy]

I loved this from the moment i heard it.

[EsteraGothic]

Amazing melody and words :)

[fiveMIRrOrs]

sounds like older modest mouse.

[gatersy]

cept WAY better

[hcosmob]

the singing is a style

and its amazing lol

it goes with the music

[gatersy]

that is because you are an idiot.

[CMJC26]

I like the song but I laughed at your comment all the same

[infernoboi92]

ZOMG Scar Symmetry, SOOOOOOOO good

god you're deaf

[1Cereus]

@54minus6 just so, how I feel about them

[banear]

@54minus6 only god marines is dead marines

[IvyBedouin9]

I must say this was one of those rare songs that when I first heard it I found it rather disturbing and turned away from it. Then slowly it grew on me and now I think it is brilliant. I agree with Xplorervoodoo, very powerful. Bone chilling.

[runts101]

I had the exact same reaction at first, this track just utterly repeled me. Now its one of my favorite Zion tracks. Still gets under my skin but I think that's part of its alure.

[cinnabin]

thanks for posting, but i miss the left out part :(

[einarstraymusic]

masterpiece.

[Vismund42]

Brilliant, his voice has an interesting quality to it

[heyitsapolishboy]

so fucking good..nothing like this band

theyre even better than godspeed

[jhoncervantas]

nice picture. poo head.

[Eloginore]

Wished I could hear the whole version, but still, love this song.

[mymorningzion]

Thank you so much for putting this up! You're my hero...just a little....Okay I lied a lot :]

[acircuscalledmike]

thank you so much for posting this.

[Xplorervoodoo]

Probably my favorite ASMZ song. Very powerful.
