Oh, Sleeper - Vices Like Vipers

Music video by Oh, Sleeper performing Vices Like Vipers.

[@nicholasfornshell7362]

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.

[@afkingtragedy]

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.

[@LEGOSuperDKong]

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.

[@MrMJE13]

whoa bro, your ignorance is showing

[@shaolinshowdown1123]

@@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? 🤔

[@TheBros2theend]

Jesus Christ loves you

[@vjmusix526]

2019 still having goosebumps

[@gaudenzialcayde9081]

2021 and still 🔥

[@Footsteps7173]

Yes indeed. 2021 and BANGER!

[@BlackRbt22]

2021 is pretty chilly.

[@stag03]

2024, still a banger

[@neilrhode5968]

Oh Sleeper you've never failed me, 6 years later.

[@Clepboyette]

This song is eternal

[@iamaoi3687]

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

Wanna know what's sad? Some of Oh, Sleeper fans don't know about this album

[@pymbah]

+Andres Luna their best album in my opinion! :)

[@awoovement]

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.

[@johnaranjo2059]

Andres Luna its on an armored march ep and when i am god lp

[@mpvmirra112]

Dude i dont know about their new shit! going to check it out.

[@jahbones]

This was all I've known of them. Came back for it too.

[@Camb88]

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😯

[@Worthington1138]

Miss these days, this song saw me through some hardships. I love that KZbin is the closest thing to a time machine that we have.

[@iamtheSoup]

This is the song that got me into these guys and it's still great after all these years

[@Shomelife]

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

[@mynme1]

Hey dude, you still alive and fighting the good fight?

Some say, he still hasn't fapped to this day.

[@K1NG_D0ME]

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

[@JoeLackey]

13 years. Man. The golden era.

[@austinennis6833]

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 :)

[@HolyGhost.Testimonies]

2021 still my favorite song. Great Councilor!

[@winstonbrandenburg3350]

This is actually one of the only bands I know of that sound better live than on their albums! 🤘

[@richieC1999]

Here in 2024 shuffled into my SoundCloud with Flyleaf and I’m loving it

[@bradleyhauf312]

One of my favorites by them...

[@ZahlDesTieres]

This was my favorite song they played at The Electric Theater in 2009. Sounds great live(:

[@farwoodfarm9296]

2022 anyone still here? These guys sound was ahead of their time and lyrics are incredible

[@xBringMeTheHorizionx]

Awesome All Around!!!

[@JR-hk2yf]

oh sleeper! SUCH GOOD SONG WRITING SUCH HEAVY GUITARS AND DRUMS

[@Metal7771]

Man I can hear the Norma Jean and Underoath vibes, great mix.

[@OhHaiAutumn]

met them at Warped Tour. fan girled hard. :)

[@Crazymoniker]

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.

[@Angrymonkey21]

man i love this band. all their work is solid

[@abowles07]

2020 and I'm just finding this masterpiece.

[@goldminer512]

rediscovered these guys yesterday while listening to an old mix cd.

[@jaredbelcher4591]

This album was WAY ahead of its time

[@teacherfromthejungles6671]

not really. Protest the Hero and Norma Jean were playing for ages by that time already.

[@omarrosales9706]

2021 still blasting this. ahhh the nostalgia from back in the days when i was a younger lad.

[@truth654567]

one of the best bands. one of the best songs.

[@DatzWhatsUp]

Old Oh, Sleeper at their finest. None of their new stuff will ever come close to this.

[@jlills27]

Old songs like this are why i hope this genre comes back to what it was

[@dunnowottocallmyself]

Defo my fave song from oh sleeper

[@RC1312Kad]

This is easily the best music video I've ever seen. The message, in the words and in the images, is amazing.

[@lolz654jk321]

i am in looove with this song!! i kant help but keep hitting the replay button :D

2019 and this song is still a banger!

[@ismoketreez4209]

2k19!!! I remember seeing them live be4 they made the videos for these.. The why they plAyed live was great!!!

[@Glass_Caskets]

Love that chorus.

[@rebeccazimmerman451]

Saw them last summer they were awesome got my shirt signed and took a pic with them

[@chuyton]

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.

[@Sykokinetic]

I miss Oh, Sleeper so much. But, even if they never make an album again, they will forever be my favorite band.

[@mstephen1000]

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.

[@thekornfreak5544]

Love Oh, Sleeper...one of my fav bands!!!

[@thatsthatword]

One of my favorites

[@MG-yt3xf]

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! :)

[@jadinbeek5145]

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!

[@sacredxgeometry]

May 2018 anyone? Was a fan of this band years and years ago and coming back to them I can still see why.

[@38unknownhinson]

Loose the weight of defeat. Its time stand your ground

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.
