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!!!!

@@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

I remember when this album was released, still a banger to this day.

[@MoreFSL]

My favorite concept album of all time. Those haunting “Ooos” in the second chorus get me every time

[@TheBourbonWrench]

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.

[@SebasAmador]

I'm not religious but this is one of the best bands on those days.

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

[@vincentdamienarneo369]

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.

[@joshuabrewer745]

[@alettaklopper9645]

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.

[@pikabob4916]

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.

[@jesusfanatic100]

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!"

[@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.

"Dont send an angel to face the devil your wasting power on grace".... Thats so TRUE!!! wow..

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 🙏

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.

[@hkillrox]

@Kenkaice Poeple should also know that this song is album is meant to be taken as sort of a story. Satan Starts the war (Son of the Morning), then God Gets his followers(pretty much all of the album) then God destroys evil once and for all (the Finisher)

[@alltimeamandax0]

@Kenkaice It's true, the whole Son of The Morning CD is about the final battle bewteen God and the Devil. This happens to be the Devil's part. Micah's not worshipping the Devil by writing this, he's just switching characters in this song. I absolutely love this band.

[@D2LGuitaristOfficial]

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.

[@videoghost]

I'm an atheist and I still love this song. Fucking epic.

[@danielbrowniel]

Atheism is boring. You should try reading the Bible. Being a Christian sucks most the time I'll be honest but I have far more peace than before.

[@videoghost]

+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"?

[@jighflaukst]

It's so hard for me to pick a favorite album from these guys. All of them are near perfect for me.

[@MusicalBehr]

Hey so the album is about the devil threading God. The first song you hear the devil talking to God and Gods response is in the chorus of the song if you could see like me you haven't won anything , if you could see like me it's by my grace your breathing and your precious light is fading. If you listen to the last song called the finisher it's God response to him and he basically rips off the devils horns. But this song is satan talking to God and violating his children which are you and I

[@Bloddthirstprince]

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.
