Man this song is a prime example of how our temptations get the best of us but ultimately we have the power to kill those vices. Oh Sleeper deserves way more recognition within the metal community.
Sometimes temptations make you feel good and have no negative consequences. What's the loss? Vices are subjective to YOUR perception; they're not universal. It's dogmatic otherwise. Your call. Still great music.
Sometimes they have consequences we don't know about. Oh, Sleeper would probably include eternal consequences as well since their primary songwriter is a Christian.
@@afkingtragedy truth is not subjective. It IS universal. Just like our morals. If not, then the Holocaust and Armenian Genocide were subjectively wrong. They just wanted what best for they're people I guess? 🤔
LYRICS Your scarlet soaked and bold and the sheep's eyes locked to mine, sink to my bones. Though your lips still drip, intentions, they keep me wanting more... It's rising against all the walls we built for falling. All the walls we built just stand in vain to draw you near. It's the wool to hide the wolves. And under these toes from where we last spoke, Your words laid so firm. But I did not shed that skin like You said. When the mason neglects the mortar, looks become deceiving and when the bricks start to fall, I'll be the one crawling down this road so dark. Vices like vipers Speak in whispers. My heel's the meat to sink their teeth, Like the viper I kept when You said, "Let go!" This is what it took for me to see. WHEN I AM GOD this church is unsound. Slithering in the shade of a sinking church, Surprise is no excuse for the traps that you left in the wake of warning. So this is the warning, You fall to learn. And to the girls, You're worth more than the cheap words. You see your body as beauty, but your pulse is worth more. Hear me, it's not what it seems, though the feeding tastes of honesty. This is the warning, you're just a hit to coax my urgency. Why do we keep what holds us? Why do I keep what holds me down? Lose the weight of defeat. It's time to stand your ground! Vices like vipers Speak in whispers. My heel's the meat to sink their teeth, Like the viper I kept when You said, "Let go!" Since all the alibis of ignorance are void... This, my lust, the pornos and the sluts. Take, my lust, this world's Love. Great Councilor, take what's left. Great Councilor, take what's left of me
The tattoo on my chest says “Take What’s Left Of Me” I loved this song so much. Hard to believe I got that tattoo back in 2008 when I was still in the Air Force😯

Ive been listening to this since around 2011 (senior year of high school) but it didnt me then like it does now. This song is beautiful man. The lyrics really hit home. Its my prayer daily for Christ to guide me when temptations come. So thank u for making this to help us fight our temptations with handbanging lol
Discovered this band through my 7th grade bus driver who always brought his radio, anyway I think he made a copy or let me burn it, idk don't remember, but anyway, this song always stuck to me. I've graduated HS now and still this song is great.. The END! :)
First time I ever heard the line "Lose the weight of defeat, its time to stand your ground!" I blacked out on adrenaline, came to in this Japanese family's rec room, and they WOULD NOT stop screaming.
I remember watching this music video on TVU when I was 8 years old. The video always scared me but I loved the song! 4 years later and I still love this song and band!
So true, I used to be one of those ppl who listened to only rap when I was growing up until I hit about 18 when I started listening to rock a lot more and started getting deeper into the more specific genres, and I am so glad I did, Especially Christian Metalcore, These bands lyrics and sounds have the most feeling in them that you will NOT hear in the majority of other genres.

@Nicholas Forshell That's true, and yes, they do need more recognition... they are freaking amazing! I couldn't reply directly to you, so I hope you see this :)
Ephesians 5:14 NIV84 for it is light that makes everything visible. This is why it is said: "Wake up, O sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you."

This song is eternal

2021 and still 🔥
Yes indeed. 2021 and BANGER!
2021 is pretty chilly.
2024, still a banger
Wanna know what's sad? Some of Oh, Sleeper fans don't know about this album
+Andres Luna their best album in my opinion! :)
Wanna know what's sad? A lot of people don't know who Oh, Sleeper is. Check out the comments section on Wovenwar. Not a clue, the ignoramuses.
Andres Luna its on an armored march ep and when i am god lp
Dude i dont know about their new shit! going to check it out.
This was all I've known of them. Came back for it too.
Oh Sleeper you've never failed me, 6 years later.
LYRICS
Your scarlet soaked and bold
and the sheep's eyes locked to mine, sink to my bones.
Though your lips still drip, intentions, they keep me wanting more...
It's rising against all the walls we built for falling.
All the walls we built just stand in vain to draw you near.
It's the wool to hide the wolves.
And under these toes from where we last spoke, Your words laid so firm.
But I did not shed that skin like You said.
When the mason neglects the mortar, looks become deceiving
and when the bricks start to fall,
I'll be the one crawling down this road so dark.
Vices like vipers
Speak in whispers.
My heel's the meat to sink their teeth,
Like the viper I kept when You said, "Let go!"
This is what it took for me to see.
WHEN I AM GOD this church is unsound.
Slithering in the shade of a sinking church,
Surprise is no excuse for the traps that you left in the wake of warning.
So this is the warning, You fall to learn.

You see your body as beauty, but your pulse is worth more.

Why do we keep what holds us? Why do I keep what holds me down?
Lose the weight of defeat. It's time to stand your ground!

Like the viper

This, my lust, the pornos and the sluts.
Take, my lust, this world's Love.
Great Councilor, take what's left.
Great Councilor, take what's left of me
dude we can search on Google too, geesh
Thanks
Miss these days, this song saw me through some hardships. I love that UA-cam is the closest thing to a time machine that we have.
This is the song that got me into these guys and it's still great after all these years
The tattoo on my chest says “Take What’s Left Of Me”
I loved this song so much. Hard to believe I got that tattoo back in 2008 when I was still in the Air Force😯
This song still kicks ass in 2023, the highschool vibes are real
Haven't listened to Oh, Sleeper in years.. I remember why I love them :)
Still one of the best albums of all times.
🙏🏼 god bless oh sleeper 🙏🏼
🤘🏼🤠🤘🏼
This song changed my life..
No more pornography, it ended my addiction when it first came out, and I refuse to go back.
Praise God for metal! =D
Hey dude, you still alive and fighting the good fight?
Some say, he still hasn't fapped to this day.
@@jamesrara ahahahaha
Me as well, addicted to Pornography but set free!💯
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This was my ringtone back in the day 🤣
2022 the year of Sleeper
Dang, I haven’t listened to core in years and this song randomly pops into my head. It’s just as awesome as I remember :)
2022. Texas Metal is still alive
Amen, yes! Love Texas and metal lol
Why have i forgotten how amazing you guys were

13 years. Man. The golden era.
TAKE ME BACK TO WHEN THIS VIDEO WAS RELEASED
Skinny jeans and fringe man, miss those days
9 years later and this whole album still hits as hard as the first time i popped it in the CD player
This was my favorite song they played at The Electric Theater in 2009.
Sounds great live(:
This is actually one of the only bands I know of that sound better live than on their albums! 🤘
2021 still my favorite song.
Great Councilor!
2020 and I'm just finding this masterpiece.
One of my favorites by them...

Going to these guys' show tomorrow! Can't wait.
Man I can hear the Norma Jean and Underoath vibes, great mix.
2023
Showing my friend old harcore music. Still slaps.
Here in 2024 shuffled into my SoundCloud with Flyleaf and I’m loving it

best band ever. God Bless you all. Thanks for the awesome music.
2k19!!! I remember seeing them live be4 they made the videos for these.. The why they plAyed live was great!!!
rediscovered these guys yesterday while listening to an old mix cd.
This is easily the best music video I've ever seen. The message, in the words and in the images, is amazing.
2009? holy shit. i remember when this just came out. doesnt seem like 6 years ago
Discovered this band through my 7th grade bus driver who always brought his radio, anyway I think he made a copy or let me burn it, idk don't remember, but anyway, this song always stuck to me. I've graduated HS now and still this song is great.. The END! :)
mili ulloa bus driver was lit!!
One of my favorites
Defo my fave song from oh sleeper
Loose the weight of defeat. Its time stand your ground
2021 still blasting this. ahhh the nostalgia from back in the days when i was a younger lad.
Love Oh, Sleeper...one of my fav bands!!!
Old songs like this are why i hope this genre comes back to what it was
Still the best ever:))
oh sleeper! SUCH GOOD SONG WRITING SUCH HEAVY GUITARS AND DRUMS
man i love this band. all their work is solid
met them at Warped Tour. fan girled hard. :)
My brother is apparently old friends with the guitarist. They hang out in Arlington/Mansfield and go to bars and stuff everyone once in a while.
one of the best bands. one of the best songs.
This is an awesome song and the video went along perfectly with the music. The 'Son of the Morning' video is pretty kickass, as well.
i am in looove with this song!! i kant help but keep hitting the replay button :D
I miss Oh, Sleeper so much. But, even if they never make an album again, they will forever be my favorite band.
First time I ever heard the line "Lose the weight of defeat, its time to stand your ground!" I blacked out on adrenaline, came to in this Japanese family's rec room, and they WOULD NOT stop screaming.
Amazing
2019 and this song is still a banger!
those first lines always captivate me if i hear something similar. hits home so hard.
The breakdown in world without a sun still gives me goosebumps
That's how Jesus makes me feel. I feel and understand the song as if he speaking to me.
Love that chorus.
2024 decided to learn this on guitar, said “man I’m pretty sure this song had a video” 15 YEARS AGO?!? 🫠
same here
I remember watching this music video on TVU when I was 8 years old. The video always scared me but I loved the song! 4 years later and I still love this song and band!

Full body chills x.x
2022 anyone still here? These guys sound was ahead of their time and lyrics are incredible
dang man am I old?
Awesome All Around!!!
May 2018 anyone? Was a fan of this band years and years ago and coming back to them I can still see why.
I have just discovered this band... AWESOME :)
i remember the first time i saw this, good times!!!!!
i saw it a day before their show!!!!!
So sick, i wish people cared about this band.
Jesus is king. He will reign supreme. Now and forever. By his grace we are all saved!
I remember now why I love this song/band so much :]
Saw them last summer they were awesome got my shirt signed and took a pic with them
Strong lyrics+strong music=Amazing=Oh Sleeper
Wicked good. VICES LIKE VIPERS
freaking epic! This band will definitely go places
This album was WAY ahead of its time
not really. Protest the Hero and Norma Jean were playing for ages by that time already.
Great song great band and great drummer
RIP Lucas Star 😢
Old Oh, Sleeper at their finest. None of their new stuff will ever come close to this.
I would love to hear this song re-recorded with today’s technology
Your scarlet soaked and bold
And the sheep's eyes locked to mine, sink to my bones.
Though your lips still drip, intentions, they keep me wanting more...
It's rising against all the walls we built for falling.
All the walls we built just stand in vain to draw you near.
It's the wool to hide the wolves.
And under these toes from where we last spoke, Your words laid so firm.
But I did not shed that skin like You said.
When the mason neglects the mortar, looks become deceiving
And when the bricks start to fall,
I'll be the one crawling down this road so dark.
Vices like vipers
Speak in whispers.
My heel's the meat to sink their teeth,
Like the viper I kept when You said, "Let go!"
This is what it took for me to see.
WHEN I AM GOD this church is unsound.
Slithering in the shade of a sinking church,
Surprise is no excuse for the traps that you left in the wake of warning.
So this is the warning, You fall to learn.
And to the girls,
You're worth more than the cheap words.
You see your body as beauty, but your pulse is worth more.
Hear me, it's not what it seems, though the feeding tastes of honesty.
This is the warning, you're just a hit to coax my urgency.
Why do we keep what holds us? Why do I keep what holds me down?
Lose the weight of defeat. It's time to stand your ground!

Take, my lust, this world's Love.
Great Councilor, take what's left.
Great Councilor, take what's left of me.
Thank you .
I really like how you guys set this up.
You sir, just made my day.
I looove this band and wish they still made music.
They're not broken up lol they never have been.
+Eric Hutchcraft www.reddit.com/r/Metalcore/comments/41qr5g/oh_sleeper_mega_thread_and_patch_notes_p/
They said last night at a show that they'll he releasing a new album the beginning of next year
Thats awesome news Pete Guajardo
Pete Guajardo I'm sad that the new album still hasn't come to fruition.
Bringing this one back in 2023!
saw them last night! they're really nice
Metalcore is a subgenre of hardcore, therefore, it is hardcore.
#NobodyCares
15 years later, and still fire
+Austin Ennis I don't think they are I've not heard of any new music, but I wish they they would make a new album.
Still bumps in 2024
I named my son Shane since Shane Blay is freaking awesome!
Shane playing guitar (and clean vocals) makes sweeping look like one of the simplest guitar tasks.
STILL HERE FOR THIS!!!! 2020
I love how the part at 2:40 sounds like Underoath
Mind. Art. Creativity. Only it didn't 😕
I can see what your getting at. Vocally I didn’t think so, but the guitar riffs definitely could have been put in an Underoath song
@Nicholas Forshell That's true, and yes, they do need more recognition... they are freaking amazing! I couldn't reply directly to you, so I hope you see this :)
Ephesians 5:14 NIV84

Oh sleeper is an amazing Christian core / Christian metal band next
To The Devil Wears Prada
KillerMain47 you are forgetting about the biggest christian band there ever was... underoath
