There's A River In The Valley Made Of Melting Snow - Lyrics - A Silver Mount Zion
Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra is a Canadian band which formed in 1999, originating from Montreal, Quebec. They use a number of different variations of the name on different releases, but the group use the shorthand SMZ and their name is most often simplified to Silver Mt. Zion. Since their inception, the group has undergone almost yearly personnel changes. The band currently has five members following the resignation of three in late 2008.

Mystery and wonder did light up the valley
To be beat back by dark clouds
And a harsh reeking wind
And that battle staggered through three awful months
To stop for a minute
Just to start up again
Your hands like birds in the trees
If the trees themselves were all on fire
Your hips on mine make a choir
Singing "Baruch atta adonai"
And the river never made it to the lake
So the lake surrendered to the mountains
And the mountain's heart did *** break
At the sight
Of your nervous hands
And oh, my love, so gently breathing
So my heart does softly swell
So her and me did greet the evening
With much red wine and giddy yells
In these times of wandering soldiers
Building towers on ruined field
I hold my love to my belly
And her feel breath fall across my hands
I have grown tired of the struggle
And I've grown tired of making plans
I think I'll quit to the valley
Regain my strength and start again
Where once we were some clumsy army
And now we are just lazy hens
I think I'll quit to the valley
'Til the light moves me again
So let's link arms, sisters and brothers
And let's promise not to retreat
Well, there is glory in our failure
So let's march to the rhythm of fatigue
To live our lives without leaders
To live in joy without fear
Let's walk together to the valley
And let the lights redeem our tears
