"I'll cut off your horns" is a reference to Psalm 75:10. "All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted." In the Psalms, horns are used as a picture of power and strength.
I absolutely admire this song and this album entirely. It's all about spiritual warfare and this song is God's reply to Satan's arrogance and false sense of power. Praise God!
Beautiful! I am not a Christian but when they sing the chorus for the last time it sends shivers all over my body and it is one of the 5 songs that make me weep because of its sheer Beauty, very uplifting!
This isn’t a fucking Christian band. 🙏🏼😂😂😂 I don’t know why people think that it is. You can be philosophical about religion without identifying as that religion.
I just heard this song for the first time today, not knowing the lyrics, I spoke in my prayer language with righteous anger. I praise God that there are bands like you that make loving Jesus normal. Thanks for not putting God in a box
Bojack Horseman Bro I feel you, I always liked this song but I never read the lyrics but dude this song is like my ear anthem to fight Satan and his influence on my life
I feel you guys. Its not just this band but so many others. When u take the time to listen to the words and hear the passion in them, is it not a form of worship? I truly feel it is. How amazing would it be to have sunday morning worship go from “graves to gardens” to this, announcing victory!
I'm not Christian I tried the church. But I can't escape the cult feeling. But with that said, I haven't given up on hearing His voice... I just haven't heard it yet. O Sleepers music really speaks to me whatever mood I'm in. It gives me hope that I will get to experience God's voice either in life of death. Until then I will search...
@@HmlsDarkOps its hard to find a congregation/pastor that doesnt ask so much of you, pressures you, requires or puts "rules" in that ultimately burns you out or feels like a cult. Christianity in its simplest form is simply a follower of Christ and His teachings. Blessings on your spiritual journey. AND keep rockin out!
@@stang1973 I think I have resigned to the fact that I won't feel comfortable in a Church. Atleast not anytime soon. But I am completely comfortable using the Bible and its teachings through Jesus as my life's road map. I believe Jesus was real but I have immense trouble with his deity status in the trinity. Which also convalutes my thoughts on an all powerful creator. Only time will tell I guess....
i grew up in an abusive home and i'm not a christian, but the spiritual idea of 'god' suggests that everything has a greater purpose. i left home the first chance i could get and i believe that though my life is still in pieces years after, that i am stronger as a person for it all. i will never be like my parents. they unwittingly taught me to be a better person in the end.
suffering means patience according to its definition. furthermore longsuffering is longing for another. this longing is what keeps us from anger. that we wait patiently for Yahweh.
God bless all the broken, all the prophets, all those perverted by envy. We are the warriors, the titans of spirit. We fight a war that's already been won.
This band is very unique, their time signatures on riffs and drums, the way Micah screams, Shane’s guitar techniques are just something different all together is different than a lot other bands I’ve heard in the genre.
I saw these guys live yesterday, the lead singer is literally a freaking giant. It was awesome, he's really a nice guy too. I got to meat the entire band for a while after the performance. Got to play on the drummer's drums! It was amazing!
Also, I don't know what you've been through in life, but it sounds like it either hasn't been very good to you or hasn't been good to those around you. All I'm going to say is that God loves you, and He only wishes to take away pain that burdens you. God Bless you.
Do you mean to challenge me? Because your speech is threatening to the writer of your history, through a future perverted by envy. Your whisper may sway the weak, but when I speak it roars the sea. Your challenge has been met, because with a breath I could snap your neck. This won't be like the first time you tried, because my patience and mercy for you has run dry. You've watered among my bride and started seeds to feed your throning flight. I will sing to the world your storm is capturing and the angels will join me... We will sing to a world reborn from suffering. But mark my words, because if that tree keeps them from seeing me I will burn off your limbs and you will never shade again. You will bow at my feet or I'll rip out your knees and make of your face all the carnage you crave. I am the Finisher and I am Forever. I will sing to the world your storm is capturing and the angels will join me... We will sing to a world reborn from suffering. From the armories the angels sing. You will see them end this suffering. From the armories the angels sing. You will fear them when they lift their wings. They will sing to a world reborn. They will sing as I cut off your horns. I'll cut off your horns.
For the end of this song, I just imagine the beast in revelation speaking to the world from on top of a skyscraper and Christ just appearing, breaking his horns in His hands, and spartan kicking him off the ledge
Bret Griffis They haven't made any statement or published anything since the EP in 2013. Micah has left. Some of the bandmembers are atheists now. So they are still touring, but.. they will never be the same.
For all the people who think the devil rules hell you're wrong because it says in the bible that he will also suffer in the lake of fire and why would a ruler suffer in his own realm?
This comment reminds me of a lyric from the song Death. Ascension. Resurrection. By Impending Doom. "The devil isn't the king of hell, he is just the chief prisoner that fell"
+Alexis Starr This song is a response to their song Son of The Morning. Son of The Morning is Satan's point of view. And The Finisher is God's point of view. Hope I helped.
Im not even christian and this song catch me up like crazy. I just dont understand why you kids bother fighting... Everythings is perfect in this band, lyrics, music, message. Thats it.
I bought this CD at 16 and it spun in my car constantly. I didn't know this music video existed until today. Let me just say that, while the song holds up remarkably well 15 years in, the video is not even on the same plane of existence in terms of quality.
Why are people arguing in the comments of this video? Personally I'm agnostic but that doesn't stop me from listening to religious music. I just know that Oh Sleeper stands up for what they believe in and I respect that.
Much arguing in these comments. Not going to add anything to them, only say this, I'm an atheist, no interest in the whole god and religion thing (nor do I care to hear the nonsense about them being different), I like the singer's voice and love the music, therefore I like this song and don't really care too much what it's about one way or the other. Don't care about the message, it won't convert me or change my beliefs or lack of them one way or the other, I still enjoy this song though.
First I want to applaud you because sadly, nowadays the atheist extremists are hogging the spotlight and giving atheists everywhere a bad name and horrible reputation- so good on you for taking the high road! Secondly you shouldn't worry about Christian metal bands secretly converting you :) A good Christian metal band has lyrics that help current believers feel closer to God, and nonbelievers see a more honest example of what Christianity is, contrary to what most news medias would portray Christianity as. There are bands out there that do want to convert (ex: For Today) but bands like Oh, Sleeper aren't like that.
Thanks for telling me! I just started getting into Oh, Sleeper and I bought their album "Children of Fire". I'm definitely going to go to warptour this year now!
This band is crazy! I didn't know too much about them till I went to a Youth Convention and some one showed me them. I am so glad they did, one of my favourite bands of all time!
Sad to see people have such negative and caustic fights about a song that is trying to praise God. This song is not just a song, its a message to everyone... I just wish some of you would listen to the message.
I'm atheist... I admit that, but I love these guys. The intrumentals and the shows are always amazing. I do like the lyrics because they are interesting and powerful even though I am not a believer. I may not believe the religion but I believe in music.
"I'll cut off your horns" is a reference to Psalm 75:10. "All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted." In the Psalms, horns are used as a picture of power and strength.
Good ear for it I did not catch that.
thats where they got the emblem for the band I'm pretty sure they cut off the horns of the pentagram
Shawn Bowie so sad
How heavy the crown lies.
My favorite part!!!!!
I absolutely admire this song and this album entirely. It's all about spiritual warfare and this song is God's reply to Satan's arrogance and false sense of power. Praise God!
Amén!
False sense of power? I bet I could beat you up dude.
+AIDAN Ballard I agree praise GOD
+Satan Be quiet Satan LOL don't hate. You CAN'T beat GOD
Aidan Ballard AMEN!! 💘
Beautiful! I am not a Christian but when they sing the chorus for the last time it sends shivers all over my body and it is one of the 5 songs that make me weep because of its sheer Beauty, very uplifting!
Hei Mao Christ can speak too you through song, maybe this was him speaking too you
Look deeper I beg you
Pretty sure they’re not Christian ether
My cousin is an atheist but I remember him telling me but it didn't matter because he loved Christian music. B
This isn’t a fucking Christian band. 🙏🏼😂😂😂 I don’t know why people think that it is. You can be philosophical about religion without identifying as that religion.
I just heard this song for the first time today, not knowing the lyrics, I spoke in my prayer language with righteous anger. I praise God that there are bands like you that make loving Jesus normal. Thanks for not putting God in a box
"prayer language"?
These guys have some of the most powerful lyrics. If God was talking to me like this I think I would just die on the spot.
Is it normal that a metal band can make me cry? Like every single song of them makes me cry in joy and excitement.
Bojack Horseman Bro I feel you, I always liked this song but I never read the lyrics but dude this song is like my ear anthem to fight Satan and his influence on my life

Lets not let this masterpiece die
2024 here going strong!
One of my favorite Christian metal songs and I saw this song live on my birthday 2 months ago, amazing energy still to this day.
I love all this Christian music. Beautiful. Even draws the non-christians here. Beautiful thing man.
I'm not religious, but I love the message this band sends. Plus I'm a musician and these guys are very musically inclined. Inspirational.
lol i hate christian music. Even if they aren't preaching i feel like they are. (About the only thing i dislike about this band)
^cool story bro
+xFedd must people are ok with bands that sing about philosophy based on Aleister Crowley, but are not ok with christian philosophy.
^ lol most people do not even try to acknowledge that teaching as evil, i am glad not everybody is asleep:D
Powerful song. Sends shivers through me every time I hear the chorus.
Oh Sleeper you perfectly describe God's wrath. Gives me chills every time. Thank God for forgiveness :)
if i was a pastor...this would be the opening hymn to every service
I think my favorite part of this song falls between 0:00 and 3:09
Epic Comment
Lol yesss
i grew up in an abusive home and i'm not a christian, but the spiritual idea of 'god' suggests that everything has a greater purpose. i left home the first chance i could get and i believe that though my life is still in pieces years after, that i am stronger as a person for it all. i will never be like my parents. they unwittingly taught me to be a better person in the end.
This band is WAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY underrated.

Absolutely agree.
I remember watching all these videos on this Christian show called TVU! Was awesome
this song makes me want to smile, cry, headbang, and worship all at the same time. Bravo my dudes bravo.
Still brilliant after 8 long years
I love oh sleepers sound.. so much energy!
This is one of the most powerful songs out there! Perfectly brutal, and passionate. :)
Am I the only person that kind tears up when they listen to this song? It's so powerful.
This song gives me chills every single time.
Please release a remaster!!!! Come on guys!
JESUS IS THE BREAD!
df71091 JESUS IS THE BEARD!
Jesus is the wine(?)
He's both
Jesus is the light and salvation!
Jesus is the king of king, lord of lord.
I saw these guys live yesterday, the lead singer is literally a freaking giant. It was awesome, he's really a nice guy too. I got to meat the entire band for a while after the performance. Got to play on the drummer's drums! It was amazing!
1:22 is still one of my favorite moments in any metal song.
Greatest band EVER! Got to see them live when they released this CD in their home town:) and it was EPIC!
Wow. Forgot how good this album is...
It's a beast song :D
Also, I don't know what you've been through in life, but it sounds like it either hasn't been very good to you or hasn't been good to those around you. All I'm going to say is that God loves you, and He only wishes to take away pain that burdens you. God Bless you.

This won't be like the first time you tried, because my patience and mercy for you has run dry.

I will sing to the world your storm is capturing and the angels will join me...
We will sing to a world reborn from suffering.
But mark my words, because if that tree keeps them from seeing me
I will burn off your limbs and you will never shade again.
You will bow at my feet or I'll rip out your knees and make of your face all the carnage you crave.
I am the Finisher and I am Forever.
I will sing to the world your storm is capturing and the angels will join me...
We will sing to a world reborn from suffering.
From the armories the angels sing. You will see them end this suffering.
From the armories the angels sing. You will fear them when they lift their wings.
They will sing to a world reborn.
They will sing as I cut off your horns.
I'll cut off your horns.
*ill burn off your lips, you'll never sing again**
14 years later, and this song still SLAPS!!!
how can someone "dislike" this vid, band, or song, and live with themselves??
your whisper may sway the weak.. but when i speak it roars the seas....legit
Every time I hear this song I feel like screaming HALLELUJAH
The whole album concept is awesome.. please create more albums like these..
For the end of this song, I just imagine the beast in revelation speaking to the world from on top of a skyscraper and Christ just appearing, breaking his horns in His hands, and spartan kicking him off the ledge
This is how I praise my Lord.
Arguably there best song. RIP Oh Sleeper
oh sleeper didn't break up...
mark robbins Aye. R.I.P. Oh, Sleeper. They will be missed
mark robbins Aye. R.I.P. Oh, Sleeper. They will be missed
Bret Griffis They haven't made any statement or published anything since the EP in 2013. Micah has left. Some of the bandmembers are atheists now. So they are still touring, but.. they will never be the same.
Lo you guys are all looking dumb right about now... Welcome the new Oh, Sleeper song when you get the chance ;]
Thank God for this band!
For all the people who think the devil rules hell you're wrong because it says in the bible that he will also suffer in the lake of fire and why would a ruler suffer in his own realm?
if satan dosent rule hell, then who does?
Gavin Doxey God
ok thanks makes sense
Hell and the lake of fire are not the same place. People need to remember that.
This comment reminds me of a lyric from the song Death. Ascension. Resurrection. By Impending Doom. "The devil isn't the king of hell, he is just the chief prisoner that fell"
This album has given me strength in my darkest hours
Powerful lyrics
I agree
I agree
Listening to this in the end times. - Isaiah 17 & Ezekiel 38
+Alexis Starr
This song is a response to their song Son of The Morning.
Son of The Morning is Satan's point of view. And The Finisher is God's point of view. Hope I helped.
Yep helped a lot thank you
Im not even christian and this song catch me up like crazy. I just dont understand why you kids bother fighting...
Everythings is perfect in this band, lyrics, music, message. Thats it.
We will sing from a world reborn from suffering!
I bought this CD at 16 and it spun in my car constantly. I didn't know this music video existed until today.
Let me just say that, while the song holds up remarkably well 15 years in, the video is not even on the same plane of existence in terms of quality.
The finisher : jesus is the lord !
Why are people arguing in the comments of this video? Personally I'm agnostic but that doesn't stop me from listening to religious music. I just know that Oh Sleeper stands up for what they believe in and I respect that.
2019 any?
"I am the finisher and I AM FOREVER"... yep.... and amen!
Damn right, you don't have to be athiest to bang your head a bit
This song gives me chills every time. My band did a cover of it and its the only song I've ever learnt that I still enjoy listening to.
Because: Jesus.
good music !
Much arguing in these comments. Not going to add anything to them, only say this, I'm an atheist, no interest in the whole god and religion thing (nor do I care to hear the nonsense about them being different), I like the singer's voice and love the music, therefore I like this song and don't really care too much what it's about one way or the other. Don't care about the message, it won't convert me or change my beliefs or lack of them one way or the other, I still enjoy this song though.
That's why christian metal is so good. The lyrics are so powerful, it attracts all kinds of people.
First I want to applaud you because sadly, nowadays the atheist extremists are hogging the spotlight and giving atheists everywhere a bad name and horrible reputation- so good on you for taking the high road!
Secondly you shouldn't worry about Christian metal bands secretly converting you :) A good Christian metal band has lyrics that help current believers feel closer to God, and nonbelievers see a more honest example of what Christianity is, contrary to what most news medias would portray Christianity as. There are bands out there that do want to convert (ex: For Today) but bands like Oh, Sleeper aren't like that.
yea son my band covered this song to play at church it was insane, I love meaning behind it...psalms 75:10 I will cut off the horns of the wicked ;)
When the Rapture happens I now imagine God screaming, "DO YOU MEAN TO CHALLENGE ME"!!!
The rapture isn’t a real concept.
Finisher! Finisher! Finisher! Finisher! Finisher! Finisher! Betta beleive they finished it... Love you Broh, Sleeper
"Because if that tree keeps them from seeing me
I will burn off your limbs and you will never shade again."
satan is a tree shading us from gods light
I love their guitars.
those clean vocals are amazing...i love this song.
This song STILL gives me chills!
I now understand the phrase: ‘goosebumps every time’
This band is WAYYYYYYYYY underrated.
I love the worship feel to the chorus.... SO EPIC!!!!
so glad for oh sleeper making their music because they give a message for the name of god but still want all to hear them
seeing these guys tonight!!! im so excited
Thanks for telling me! I just started getting into Oh, Sleeper and I bought their album "Children of Fire". I'm definitely going to go to warptour this year now!
Ohh Yeaaaah!!!! Oh Sleeper I Lov'it

Amazing song bros. Every song they made sound like a fire burning🔥🔥🔥 deep within 🎸🎶😜😝😜😎😬🤘🙏🎚🎚🎚! Awesome song 😎😜🤘
I saw them last night at Houston! One of the best experiences ever

Video Concept is just fascinating. Greetings from Mexico.
No one better dislike this. There is absolutely no reason to dislike this.
This song is epic. Love.
i love these guys. the new stuffs supposed to be suuuper heavy! i cant wait!
For some reason, I keep looking at the art style of this vid. It's gorgeous and someone should make a picture book for this album.
This band is crazy! I didn't know too much about them till I went to a Youth Convention and some one showed me them. I am so glad they did, one of my favourite bands of all time!
I just found these guys today. I can't stop listening to them.
Perfection!
Hands down the greatest band out there today.
This is fantastic!!!!!
There is one word that describes this band perfectly - EPIC
These guys are so freaking good! I love how violent their lyrics are!
I remembered seeing them a few years back and they said "and Pomona will join me" great show wish I could see them again
Anyone here in 2024
Seeing them Tuesday. :D #stoked
lyrics match perfect to the song!! awesome!! ;)
Sad to see people have such negative and caustic fights about a song that is trying to praise God. This song is not just a song, its a message to everyone... I just wish some of you would listen to the message.
I'm atheist... I admit that, but I love these guys. The intrumentals and the shows are always amazing. I do like the lyrics because they are interesting and powerful even though I am not a believer. I may not believe the religion but I believe in music.
Maaaaaan.....so good!!
