If you could see like me, you would see, you haven't won anything.

[Cantdiedeadenough]

[destrophie]

I AM THE LORD OF AIR AND MY DAWN WILL LAST FOREVER.

[isaiahperrry]

To all who watch this amazing video, and not the Superbowl, I solute you.

[14Sporty97]

anybody going to Youth Quake by chance?? :D Soooo stoked to see them live!!



[vomitoriumbassist]

hmmm.. well i was going to say.. this sounds alright but nothing to set it apart from the rest of the post-hardcore movement.. but then i read the 3 paragraphies about the lyrics and shit.. and if thats what the song is really about then i like it just a little bit more.. yay.. true story! XD

[Cl3ver]

I am not Christian but the message is still strong.

[kristykayyy]

What does this song mean?

[MasterOFSuperFunny]

@kristykayyy The first Paragraph is Satan speaking, he starts by insulting Jesus, "Hear me now, dear, weak forgiver." then goes on about how humans wont waste their time with God, but rather live in sin, "You’re wasting power on grace. A maggot will always seek to feed from the grave." Then Jesus expresses what he sees in Satan, "If you could see like me you’d see you haven’t won anything." What Jesus means by haven't won anything is that Satan was at loss to betray God.

[MasterOFSuperFunny]

@kristykayyy Then Satan goes on about his hatred of Jesus, "but soon after I lose your bride and I damn your son for stealing my light. This world is mine..." In the bible it says that we christians are the bride's of Christ Jesus. Then Satan insults christians by calling us weak and how he will take God's throne, "I will claim your throne through all these cowards you call your sons."

[MasterOFSuperFunny]

@kristykayyy And the final part of the song speaks for itself, God says this, ""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 that 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, your precious light is fading."

Jesus again spoke about Satan's loss when betraying God.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

[JXG1992]

Fuck you Vevo

[Echooftheangel]

@LightWillRemain

Well in a way, God did create Evil. When Good was created so was Evil but the only reason why Evil still exist is because Good exist. It is a unique form of a parasitic dependence where if Good "dies" so dose Evil and the reason being is that Good is a blueprint for Evil and vice versa. Maybe He created Evil as a test to see who is worthy for that place he promised us...?

[michaelearly]

@Echooftheangel

God did not create evil. God is everything good. In the beginning before this world it was him and only him, therefore there was only good. If you take God out of the picture, then what is left, evil. The only way to distinguish between good and evil is to look at what comes from God and what doesn't. It's a weird concept to grasp... evil wasn't really created, its just what God is not.

[ishroom321]

@ipodplaya I can harmonize Perfectly with him in every song where he actualy uses emotions :) But i understand everything your saying.

[ipodplaya]

@mnm2393 Shane Blay? He has the best clean vocals I have ever heard, his voice is beyond cut out for this :D

[mnm2393]

I was kind of iffy about this at first, but was pleasantly surprised. The guy with the clean vocals and dreads has a nice voice...hot too. lol

[AwesomeAlchemist]

dumbest song I have ever heard!



[LightWillRemain]

???

[KoreyBeloved]

@toddwalker7861....Sorry dude, the whole point of christianity is to love God....so you're not a christian.

[Jaadsf]

lol

[toddwalker7861]

im a Christian and i hate god.

[PowerWoG]

@toddwalker7861 Well hello mr walking contradiction...

[MemphisVampir]

@toddwalker7861 lolvat

[RobertPowerNS]

@toddwalker7861 lol @ everything about christianity. the idea of religion shouldn't even exist.

[SimplySosimple]

@RobertPowerNS whats wrong with religion?it gives people hope.Not to mention if you get rid of religion your throwing everything america stands for away

[LightWillRemain]

@SimplySosimple we need a moral code.

[TexasIsSouth94]

@RobertPowerNS if you knew anything about this song, it ties into the Finisher. with the son of the morning being the devil stating his belief of triumph over the world, and cursing god and jesus for making it so hard for him. whiel the finisher is basically god saying shut the fuck up Lucifer. you were a insignificant little bitch and you always will be

:p i love this album

[55lumberjack]

@RobertPowerNS

why do you think that? And what is your purpose of living then?

[LightWillRemain]

@toddwalker7861 please explain...

[jaskamiin]

cool! any topping, any crust?? what a deal

[TristenNic95]

@lpfan4life0904 same! :D

[TexicPL]

^^

[xErickaGoesRAWRx]

It's by my grace you're breathing..

[LightWillRemain]

@xErickaGoesRAWRx i hope not because then that would mean evil exists because God keeps it alive.

[Halewken]

While all of you were arguing, did anybody notice that Micah is like 6'5"?

He's tall.

[musicmaster555]

used to be really against this band, but after listening to them on and off over the past year or two, I've come around to really enjoying their sound, very intense and awesome!

[troyklassen414]

I love how at 1:22 the demon thing turning the crank is also head bobing to the song

[jumavasa0811]

:o

[aUrOriiXx]

I't s even better when you get what they did with Son of the Morning and The finisher ;)

[CANOFSPAM9]

Saw them live with Greeley Estates at Kingdom a few days ago. People went nuts, everybody was literally drenched in sweat. They put on one hell of a live show. :D

[teeth87]

sounds just like all the other screamo tunes out there

[SuperElzaco]

Just a few more hours until I get to see them!

[skatebum188]

is a shame how unknown this band is

[HeartofTheLion777]

I love how the whole album is one giant story. It's soooo amazing!

[KlajjDarquen]

I don't care whether or not you think Oh, Sleeper are Christian musicians or not, they're amazing. I'm personally an atheist but think they have overall great messages.

[DetSandyVagina]

@KlajjDarquen Well I'm Christian and I wish more poeple were open minded like you. People need to put their beliefs (religious or not) aside and just chill and accept people for who they are

[7Repen7ance7]

@DetSandyVagina Well I'm a born again Christian also, but as a Christian you have to reveal the Truth (God's Word) to people who don't know God or who chose to not believe in Him, because it's not right for people to be the way they are if they are still living in sin. It's like saying an alcoholic will go to Heaven because God will forgive him, fact is He won't enter the Kingdom of God unless he is is born again meaning living like Christ did.

[7Repen7ance7]

@DetSandyVagina "Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again." (John 3:3) As it says in (Revelation 21:8)" But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.” I was once atheist also and would make up theories about the Bible being fiction but God proved me wrong and

[7Repen7ance7]

@DetSandyVagina on August 13, 2011. I accepted Christ as my Lord and Savior by praying the sinner's prayer. As a Christian you need to fulfill God's Will and that is to spread the Good News to the people who are deeply in sin.Don't get me wrong Christians sin too but there is a difference. There are saved sinners and lost sinners. Saved sinners have an advocate with Christ, but that doesn't give us the excuse to go out and smoke weed, party etc. (pretty much go and sin purposely).

[7Repen7ance7]

@DetSandyVagina Because God will pursue justice. When people accept Christ as their Lord and Savior, to Satan you committed adultery because you went back to God and he doesn't like that one bit, so Satan is going to oppress you and do whatever it takes to make you sin and turn you away from God. At times he will get you just like he did with me, but I quickly repented because if you let sin build up inside you will turn away from God, like I've have seen with some people, they call it

[7Repen7ance7]

@DetSandyVagina backsliding. It's not a good thing to see, it's sad. Lost sinners are people who decide to live entirely in sin (drunkenness, homosexuality, addictions to drugs, worshiping idols, witchcraft etc.)and don't know about God because He was never brought up as you were growing up (me before). As Christians we need to preach God's Word to them, so that they can turn from their wicked ways and come to Christ. God won't force people to repent of their sins, that is their decision just as

[Jonnylikespotatoes]

@7Repen7ance7 I've always wondered this, so I'll ask seeing how you're a legitimate specimen. I'm not athiest but I am agnostic, but I've always thought about it this way. I've never denied that a religious god is real or not, for me it's about the bible's morals.

I've known a lot of people that used drugs a lot, none of them were bad people, just caught up in a bad place. Are you saying these people will go to hell for that without repented? Because if that's god, I don't want to accept him...

[eldritchrogue77]

@Jonnylikespotatoes Okay, I'll probably draw a lot of flak for this, but I'm LDS, or Mormon. The way we see it is that after christ comes, there will be a period of time when everyone will receive the truth and choose to believe or not for themselves. We also believe that God loves us, and that at the Day of Judgement, he will be looking to give the least amount of justice possible, and the most mercy he can. I have friends like that, and I sincerely believe that they will be alright.

[7Repen7ance7]

@DetSandyVagina I made the decision to repent and accept Christ. God is going to to come to those people an abundant amount of times because He really does love everyone. "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." (John 3:16). We are living in the last days, to be honest we have been living in the last days since Christ died for our sins on the cross. The time is getting closer we just don't know when

[7Repen7ance7]

@DetSandyVagina Rapture is going to happen and when the Anti-Christ is going to rise. I know the spirit of Anti-Christ is here but not the person. He can be born already or not. Point is no one knows, only God the Father knows. I know I wrote a bunch lol but the Truth needs to be said. God bless those who read this.

[DetSandyVagina]

@7Repen7ance7 Lol thats a lot. But weather you choose to believe in God or not is a personal lifestyle choice that they choose. I don't really think that I could honestly stand in front of someone and tell them that they are living their life wrong. Don't get me wrong, if someone asks me about my beliefs and Christianity I'll tell them everything I know. One more thing, do you really believe homosexuality is a sin?

[lortpistis]

I'm so tired of all those meaningless disgustions going on when christian music is playing? Why its just music. You can choose to get something out of the lyrics or not. Its your own choice. But why do i have to listen to all others opinions? I don't care what you all think. I just want to listen. So you can write all your shit somewhere else. (Praise Jesus and Oh Sleeper)

[andrewdockrill]

@lortpistis I agree music is music, if you dont like it than dont go on this page and especially dont comment on it

[liquidmetal93]

Whose bright idea was it to put the QR code on a computer screen? Doesnt work.

[abmanc98]

What do you get when you cross Underoath and As I Lay Dying.... Oh, Sleeper.

[methehaunted]

if Oh, Sleeper was an apple, it would be the forbbiden one.

[lpfan4life0904]

Son of the Morning and The Finisher are my favorite songs off the album. :P

[freddquadros]

@lpfan4life0904 Mine too bro!!! The 1º don't leave my mind!!!!!

[sk8ingrox1]

@lpfan4life0904 Probably because they are the best :D

[ReverseRevenge]

I get to see them the 29th. :D

[SoundofTruth78]

the guy really needs to lose the dreads haha everytime i see him i think its the 90's all over again.. this band is absolutly amazing though

[HolyHellsing]

this song is the devil challenging god, exept for the chorus where god answers: if you coul see like me you'd see... the finisher is gods response to the challenge.

i'm not a christian but these 2 song are so well-made. it's crazy

[NEVERBACKDOWN7727]

@HolyHellsing Actually the whole album "Son of the Morning" is a story in itself. This is the devil's challange, while the other songs is god asking for our help in defeating Satan in the final battle, which is "The Finisher". Listining to all the songs in a row makes it feel like a movie/musical with badass music. It's pretty epic

[TheJacobii]

Hey my first top comment was posted to this song :D

[diverdude17]

Some super preachy Christians say this is too heavy. Come on. If anything makes me want to be a Christian, it's this.

[TheRockerBrandon]

Micah is one of my favorite vocalists ever <3 such a beast

[cHEWT2910]

That song was fuckin' beast

[BitchBackOffMyCookie]

Fuck religion. I love their music <3

[ImReliTheStigCall911]

i love their videeos <3

[Ge0vone]

Thought this cd was pretty good, love the concept

[s139381]

@TheJacobii If your comment were a pancake, it would be a stale, old, tasteless pancake

[spartanfeilder09]

This is christian music people accept that and enjoy the song quit arguing!

[sxgtrgd]

wow the intensity doesn't stop. thats pretty good, im so stressed out now i gotta fap.

[EffingFresh]

it doesnt matter what point of view they are coming from. its a fictional concept album, dont take it too seriously. 

[amberpacific360]

this music may be called christian... but the symbolism in the video (fire and satanic goats with horns) and the lyrics dont represent good.

Lucifer is called the morning star...

they are musically talented... but are they really on the right side? think about it

[cpn72]

@amberpacific360 it's from satans point of view. it's a concept album. about satan and god fighting. so yes, they're on the right side.

[princess12caspian]

@amberpacific360 The album is representing a conversation between GOD and Satan. This is Lucifer's threat to GOD and in the last song of the album GOD triumphs and defeats Satan. They present a good message I think.

[zachbelljacob]

@amberpacific360 listen to the whole album this song is written from satans point of view in a conversation also watch a few interviews

[mantraxer]

@amberpacific360 watch the finisher Mv of oh sleeper and it will answer your question.

[BRADical199]

@amberpacific360 watch/listen to their music video for "The Finisher". I'm sure it'll answer your question about if they're on the right side or not.

[HolyHellsing]

@amberpacific360 if you would think about it you would realise that you are wrong

[NEVERBACKDOWN7727]

@amberpacific360 Yes, I beleive they are on the right side. These symbols you see are just for this song, if you listen to the lyrics, you will see that the Devil is threatening God, while the chorus is God's response, saying that Lucifer wouldn't dare challange He who created him. While this doesn't work initially, throught the album, God is building up his army to take down Satan once and for all. The final song "The Finisher" is God's final stand against the devil, in which he wins.

[KRAH713]

Satan and lucifer are the same

[JupitersCensus]

I am the Lord of Air

My time will last forever.

Absolutely love that.

[wooowmeato]

What's the meaning behind the video?

[liquidmetal93]

@wooowmeato The song is a conversation between Satan and God. Satan speaks garbage to God the whole song, but in the chorus God only has to say one thing. If you could see like Me, youd see you havent one anything. Its by my Grace your breathing. :D

[wooowmeato]

@liquidmetal93 sweet thanks, that's pretty neat! :D

[wooowmeato]

@liquidmetal93 I posted the video, with your response on my facebook :)

[liquidmetal93]

@wooowmeato lol awsome :)

[ShakeBakeAndSkate]

I don't see what is so wrong with vevo... They put up music on youtube that is good quality for FREE. The point of the adds is so that youtube is FREE. If you don't want the adds, get off of youtube. I want to get on here for FREE.

[SwagTeam4Life2011]

@ShakeBakeAndSkate Youtube was free when the Ads were on the sidebar.... not on the videos.

[ShakeBakeAndSkate]

@SwagTeam4Life2011 all you gotta do is press the x in the corner...

[RogerTNT]

BADASS BAND !! 

[TheDrummer454]

scroll up guys, your missing the video!

[Mrsfatblackchick]

fun fact satan is an angel and lucifer fell they are not the same.

[spartanfeilder09]

@Mrsfatblackchick How do you figure that?

[Mrsfatblackchick]

@spartanfeilder09 the bible job says satan is an angel

[darkgamer240]

Epic song of epicness for Jesus is epic :D \m/

[deathstars10]

great band.. the brand new album is very good...

[iheartlownotes]

3==========D~~~~

[HighlanderWallace]

@iheartlownotes Why are your nuts backwards dude?

[iheartlownotes]

@HighlanderWallace

the sound of this band imploded them in the opposite direction.

[Lopee08]

wish i could get payed for just screaming in a Mic.

[Janluc123]

@Lopee08 If it was that simple, a lot of people would be getting payed.

[Lopee08]

@Janluc123 They already are getting payed.

[sadied0g]

@Lopee08 Go do it then. If it's JUST screaming into a mic, go do it and make money. Don't bitch about it on the internet.

[Lopee08]

@sadied0g shut ur fucking Vagina!!!! Lol its the net bitch i can do as i please

[darkink0218]

@Lopee08 Then don't come on here flailing your stupidity like you have just because you have no appreciation for the music. Freedom of speech is entitled to everyone, but don't impose and inflict your ignorance on others. And responding with the way you have...you make this too easy kid.

[Lopee08]

@darkink0218 im not talking to you......so fuck off. Go to Hell!! All of you!! you and ur shitty music

[thyremains]

@Lopee08 Lol. This is christian music, idiot.

[xXSleepwalker1993Xx]

@Lopee08 Fuck off this video then.

[Lopee08]

im liking my own shit cuz im awesome!!!

[maidenicarus06]

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.

[aobbeaudet]

the drummer is definetly a fucking beast, where the fuck does he takes his inspiration for such beats ?! O_o PROPZ to him !

[kcb1812]

@aobbeaudet Haha you would think it would be obvious where he got his inspiration.... God.

[davidtodor]

Ok, for the people who are confused, their album songs are arranged like a story. This is from satans point of view, and the song "The Finisher" is God's point of view. Its not a demonic song, they arranged their album in a different way then other bands.

[unresolved777]

@davidtodor Reminds me of Zao's, The Funeral of God, came under fire for God's apparent "death." However the story left people hanging on whether or not God returned.

[XHolyMoleyX]

@davidtodor and in between god is talkin to people abt there issues adn helping them and in return they help him fight satan

[ThePierce1992]

@XHolyMoleyX the only thing about that is that God doesnt need our help, we just need to rest in Him and that in itself a kick in the face to the devil =)

[ashtonmax]

why are they so underated and not promoted as much as other bands like these guys are so much better than btf and escape the fate even tho i like btf

[CamRealquick]

This song is ridiculously good,

i don't understand why more people haven't watched this.

[cHEWT2910]

wayy better than i was expecting. this band rocks

[DrummerTHRICE]

Oh, Sleeper's music videos are always awesome.

[globalchaos1984]

I like em even if they are christian

[TheJacobii]

If Oh, Sleeper was a pancake, it would be a good pancake...

@laxman690 i detect sarcasm :p

[sloanownyou]

@TheJacobii ohhhhhhhhhhhhh that's clever

[VulgarIniquities]

@TheJacobii

no...it wouldnt be good...itd be one of the best pancakes ever made and one that no one would be able to recreate!

[crystalowls]

@VulgarIniquities Not even Delia Smith could. 

[VulgarIniquities]

@crystalowls

[hpgthegoalie]

@TheJacobii yes it would

[DreamJ2eaper]

this video isnt loud enough

[ConnerMello2]

[KRAH713]

@unsuretimmy...too bad you dont exist for him haha! Jk bro, good song

[batosia34]

singer seems kinda like mitch lucker from SS

[TehKrakerzGuy]

Who else likes that little chiming sung words behind the chorus?

[thyremains]

@TehKrakerzGuy That's called the Hi-hat.

[TehKrakerzGuy]

@thyremains No it's not, I'm talking about vocals behind the chorus that hum a little.

[WHITEboiFLOW]

0:30 = massive goose bumps

[Wolfesscythe117]

@WHITEboiFLOW The little tapping after "Don't send an angel to face the devil." blows my mind.

[WHITEboiFLOW]

@Wolfesscythe117 not even tht dude the effing basss EHHHH SOO TECHNICAL SOO GOOOD loll

[TaMinaMano]

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.

[Kim2Sung]

@TaMinaMano

If you listen to Micah's screaming lyrics carefully in this song, he's trying to talk in Satan's point of view....isnt that demonic? XD LOL jk

[TheJpretzel]

@Kim2Sung listen to the finisher its God's reply
