@@johnnymn4monic726 bro, your guess is as good as mine. Maybe YT algorithms weren't that great back then, maybe it filtered more to "mainstream" metal like Lamb of God and Whitechapel. But I like it, it's dope af and I'm now a fan
This band was not only ahead of its time.... But they, to this day, stand at the highest point of talent amongst other bands in this now broad genre. Hoping they get a resurgence!!!!
I discovered this band all those years ago (yes 13 years, its making me feel old) but man were they ahead of their time. If this came out today, it would be the best metalcore song. It pains me not more people know about these guys. Better than majority of whats out there even today. Ill always be here.
Lyrics: They call him the son of the morning... I am the rival I am the one who speaks in whisper Hear me now, dear Weak forgiver Hear me now, weak forgiver Hear me now! [Verse 1] Don't send an angel to face the devil You're wasting power on grace A maggot will always seek to feed from the grave Where I'll lead them and teach them to feast on the skin that defeats them The skin they crave [Chorus] If you could see like Me you'd see You haven't won anything (anything) If you could see like Me you'd see It's by My grace you're breathing (breathing) If you could see like Me you'd see You haven't won anything If you could see like Me you'd see [Verse 2] Every night I start my rise Climbing high into the morning sky But soon after I lose your pride And I damn Your son for stealing my light! This world is mine! They call me the son of the morning They call me the son of the morning I can mend all your fallen Pass the clouds as they roll in And when I do I will claim your throne Through all these cowards you call your sons I am the lord of air And my dawn will last forever Go on pouring out cause in the end I will have them
This is probably the coolest concept album in history... the war between the devil and God... soooo freaking cool. and this song, the way they wrote it. GOOD GRAVY I LOVE IT!!!
Great concept album. The story is told really beautifully. I love this band for their honesty. They are not as pretentious as many Christian bands are. They are honest about their struggles and they do not make music with the pretence that they are perfect, but that they (well... one member) is a Christian in a world where (t)he(y) are a minority.
Satan is saying he thinks he can steal Gods throne and hos children through this hole album. And God iis saying he cant, because god already won. "If you could see like ne you'd see you have won anything, if you coupd see like me you'd see its by my grace your breathing" means satan is only breathing because God is alowing him too. In the "the finisher" God is saying "they will sing to a world reborn from suffering, as i cutt off your horns! I'll cutt off your horns!"
Dude I jeust love how they give a great view from the eyes of man and God's archenemy. This makes me laugh at Satan because of how he's gonna fail in the end. It's great to know that God will allow us to join the winning team, and all we have to do is accept him.
+Daniel Brown I have read the Bible many times. I was a devout Christian for the first 23 years of my life. I find myself much more at peace knowing that whenever good things happen it's because I worked for it, not because a supposedly superior being deemed it "his will" and whenever bad things happen, it's just because sometimes bad things happen: No devil out to get be or deity trying to teach me a lesson. It's also nice knowing none of my dead family or friends are burning in hell. Lastly, I take much more peace knowing my morality stems from a desire to improve the world and society by introducing more goodness into it, rather than from a god who sometimes thinks rape, genocide, murder, slavery, misogyny, and war are okay and sometimes they aren't. my morality is superior to the Judeo-Christian God's, and I am at peace now more than ever because I never have to wonder "is this God's will"?
+videoghost I promise the guy was contemplating life hard af after reading that. 😂 But bravo bro, a well worded and descriptive way on how I see life myself👌
Fuck I miss playing shows with these dudes in front of 50 kids. Such great song writing most people don’t have a clue how ingenious these riffs were when they came out
For those who can't distinguish what Micah says, it's "I can mound all your fallen past the clouds as they roll in." If you pay very close attenion, you can hear the "n" in "can" and you can hear the "u" sound in the word "mound". Now, I can see where people get mixed up with that, but, think about it like this, all the devil wants to do is step all over you, so why wouldn't he use all the fallen people to get to heaven and claim God's throne? I mean sure he can command them to invade heaven, but pretty much he wants to do that all by himself. Soo, yeah, hopefully I was able to help.
Listen to what he says very closely ... this song is about the devils decent into this world and his anger is presented threw this song as the devil is also known as the “son of the morning “ this is super deep gets me everytime .. lord protect us and deliver us from all worldly evil protect our families and kids and let us grow o become more like you and to walk in your footsteps , begging for you mercy and god bless all who read this 🙏
After such a long time, so much literature being created and written since, Sammael aka Lucifer, the son of the morning, is still by far the greatest tragic character and anti hero ever written. For a being who despised humanity and wanted the love his father used to have for him and his brethren back, not seeing humanity as worthy of it, going so far in his anguish and envy to eventually reveal the farce in his fathers infallible wisdom and plan. Punished more harshly then could have been for seen or imagined to an eternity in a realm that mirrors the same pain and suffering he felt inside, never to rejoin his family above. Eventually becoming closer to humans then any other divine being, its just amazing. Even as an atheist the stories are among my favorites and this band really nailed a vision of him in the music and lyrics its perfect.
Wow what a song, it pumps me up every time I listen to it. Best Christian bands so far for me have to be: 1) Haste the Day 2) Underoath 3) Corpus Christi 4) Oh, Sleeper 5) Destroy the Runner Great song, awesome band, keep rocking for the Lord guys, God Bless!!
Love this band :) They are my inspiration to follow my dreams. If only my family would open their eyes(or ears) as see that music with screaming is not demonic.
Isaiah 14:12 How art thou fallen from the heaven, O Lucifer, son of the mourning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! 13 For thou hast said in thine heart, 'I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of GOD: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: 14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the MOST HIGH.' 15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
Of all the vidoes, all the comments and opinions.... You my friend with your few words displayed the most FAITH in the form of words that I have ever read. I'll be by your side.... Philippians 4:13
+Vhjkcghk I totally agree bro. But the battle is not are it the battle belong to God. Great faith But the only battle we facing is spiritual warfare we fight for are own soul by doing the will of GOD. All you need is in Ephesians 6:11-18 PUT ON THE WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD, that way you my stand against Satan the devil and THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT WHICH IS GOD WORD. Also in Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who give me strength. With God is with you who can be against you. God bless
+Mark Valencia all he need is the armor of God, and the sword of the spirit which is GOD word bro that his special manual but THE BATTLE BELONG TO THE LORD GOD.
Oh, Sleeper is so under rated. I mean August Burns Red and all those other huge bands are great. But Oh, Sleeper just has this certain sound that I love, and nobody can match it. Micah has the very best screams of anyone I've ever heard, and the guitars fit amazingly over everything as well as the drummer and great clean vocals as well.
Awesome song. GOD will beat the crap out of SATAN, the son of the Morning. Watch oh sleeper the finisher or watch son of the morning son vs the finisher they both awesome. It by God grace Satan is Still breathing!
God has already beat the crap out of Satan. He sent His son to sacrifice his life to pay for the only thing Satan had a charge against us- sin. The devil is defeated. The only thing he has left are lies that try to fool us. But don't be fooled, because of Jesus we are free.
This reminds me of an Oh, Sleeper concert I went to a couple months back. One of the best concerts of my life. And Ive been to A LOT of amazing concerts. But that one topped it(: I wish I could go to the same concert again
they're amazing live, and they're honestly awesome guys, all of them. One of the few bands that will actually start a convo with you instead of acting cocky and stupid. These guys are too awesome.
Watch some of the interviews of Micah as he talks about the album Children of Fire. It's not sacrilegious at all. Children of Fire is an amazing album and these guys are super talented. They are one of my favorites behind Wolves at the Gate.
I think Oh, Sleeper is one of the best bands, amazing lyrics and the way they develop each one after the other making it like a story through out their CD's, makes it more interesting to listen to it.
I'm not close minded just cautious. I was a serious Buddhist for six years before I became a believer, and prior to that I was involved heavily in the occult. My history just makes me want to take care not to give the enemy any opportunities to be a part of my life.
i (sadly) have not seen abr live yet. i would love to but havent had the oppurtunity. i have watched plenty of videos and although it doesn't do them justice i can still tell they are amazing live! i love abr no doubt. i just love oh sleeper's sound. it's very unique. especially micah's scream.
