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 wont 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 angles 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!
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 wont 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 angles 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!

What amazes me more is the fact that this song is not even going to come close to the amount of glory God will show on this day when it happens.
Our God is amazing, remember to stand strong for Him, because He not only has for you but would 1000 more times if He had to. He will not forget you if you do not forget Him!
This song is amazing, I cannot help to think about what will actually happens when this day arises, and don't worry we'll all be there! =)
7 When the thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison 8 and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth—Gog and Magog—and to gather them for battle. In number they are like the sand on the seashore. 9 They marched across the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of God’s people, the city he loves. But fire came down from heaven and devoured them. 10 And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
"Because if that tree keeps them from seeing me
I will burn off your limbs and you will never shade again"
I read this verse and one of the things I think of is God not letting Satan stand in His way of saving. If nothing else, get that God will go through anything and everything to have us at His side.
and the album cover is a pentagram without horns. I think it's pretty sick how they are so good at incorporating that kind of stuff into all of their songs. Both albums are great concept albums :)
"Because if that tree keeps them from seeing me
I will burn off your limbs and you will never shade again."
as well as:
"You will bow at my feet, or I'll rip out your knees,
and make of your face, all the carnage you crave."
They show how much God loves us; we are considered his children and what father does not fight off the one who is harming his children.
"...because my patience and mercy for you has run dry."
In fact, God's mercy and love is what bothers the forces of evil. Finishing them and locking them up in their sinful prison would be cool for them. But hugging them with love and forgiving them is a punishment even worse.
in the end God wont forgive satan, He's gonna throw em in hell. the whole reason why there is a hell, is for this one moment.
Oh, sleeper is just thinkin outside the box, reminding us that we dont have to be afraid or worry. bc God is in control, and He will be the victor in the end.
The Bible calls him the warrior king who would run across battlefields, rip the enemy general's sword from his hand, and stab him through the head with his own sword.
Not to mention the countless verses about holy justice and eternal punishment. Read the book of Jude. Half of it is basically an anti-sin list that shows God's punishments for sins.
I think Oh, Sleeper did a great job personifying God's personality; especially in the final battles of the Bible. The only thing I think they should have changed was the actions they seem to give God. In the Bible, it's basically Michael who physically beats the crud out of Satan (twice); not God. God destroys the Beast, the Anti-Christ, and the demons; leaving Michael to face Satan.
But still; tis an amazing CD!! It's one of the few CDs from a Christian band that really Biblically deals with this topic. (Other than all of Becoming The Archetype's music)

A number of versions of the Bible has this verse describing Jesus as "the author and finisher of our faith". We can mostly tell that the song up to this point is from the perspective of Jesus, but at this point, to me, it becomes clear that the band wants us to know what kind of authority these words have and are being spoken from.
This isn't exactly a well thought out and thoroughly researched reply to your concern, but I hope it gives you (and others) some sort of assurance that from this particular aspect, the song is honoring God alone.
