Oh, Sleeper - In The Wake Of Pigs Lyrics






It makes me sick that it's hard to distinguish
An honest leader who preaches a cause
That's not made, and not based
On the profit they'll receive from telling the world
What line divides you from the seeders
Who sow without growing believers
You point and you judge
Forgetting that their faith is molded by your lead

So where am I to find
A voice that's pure and urging me to climb?
There's gotta be more, there's gotta be peace
I've joined them and clawed at that ground for my feed
I've seen bloodshed but the wounds still remain
I left, I fled, I called, I cursed
I chased from certain to searching
But nothing has answered deserving faith
You are not alone, in the eye of the darkest storm
We are the lighthouse shining a lamp from the shore
To bring your journey home
You are not alone, use this song to lead you home
We are what's left of the love that can pierce through the callous
Life you spent undone
We are the legacy that's left to breathe, the winds to sail you home
You're not alone
If you can hear this song
Your battle has been won!

Don't go, don't go!
I've gotta use your voice to light the way back home
'Cause I need to see, I need to breathe
So much more than my kind is offering
Where am I to find
The voice that keeps urging me to climb?
I need to hear it again or I'll lose sight of land and be swept past my chance
To survive

Follow your pulse to the shallows
Unleash your will to survive
Make every step draw you closer
To be the hero you've always denied

Where is your voice coming from?
Show me a sign I can trust
I need something more to believe in
A beacon, or something to merit pressing on

You are not alone, in the eye of the darkest storm
We are the lighthouse shining a lamp from the shore
To bring your journey home
You are not alone, use this song to lead you home
We are what's left of the love that can pierce through the callous
Life you spent undone
We are the legacy that's left to breathe, the winds to sail you home

You're not alone
If you can hear this song
Your battle has been won!

Spread wide your wings
Let the draft lift you up
You've heard the call of the future flock
You're coming home!

    I love religon bands like this and fit for a king because it's not like stereotypical Christian music where they explicitly mention god and jesus. Oh,Sleeper do religon music in such a way it doesn't feel like religon is being forced down your throat.

    d.... ....

    his soul is blind and in the dark :'(.

    S.... L....

    fuck man this album is underrated. So much anger and emotion

    S.... L....

    True af

    S.... L....

    Criminally. They are amazing

  28. G.... D....

    Well, from my perspective I assumed these lyrics were based on tyranny and corruption of world political powers, something tangible. But now that I see they're religious the lyrics became much less meaningful. Actually completely meaningless.

    G.... D....

    +Gabe D You can interpret them however you want. You should, however, not assume that anyone cares about your point of view. It's pretty meaningless. Actually completely meaningless.

    G.... D....

    Will Porter that's the best comeback I've ever heard.

  29. A.... J....

    If you can hear this song, the battle has been won. ^^)
    So much strength and hope this song gives me. You're awesome. <3

  30. N.... T....

    Where is your voice coming from?!?! Show me a sign I can trust!! Love it.

  31. B.... H....

    where you got your spiritual insight? you down there fighting or something? I see you're fighting against these demons. This is characteristic of your music videos. that's what the depictions are about. because you are fighting against demons aren't you? pretty neat fellows.

  32. l.... ....

    I love the emotion in his screams

    l.... ....

    +Angela Bartini Micah is love, Micah is life

    +Angela Bartini honestly

  33. B.... H....

    Fulfill The Will of The One True AV ShebaShomayim!!! IN His ben yechid's name Yehoshua HaMeshiach!!!!

  34. c.... ....

    I can't really describe how strong this song hits me. How much it means to me, and how it saved me. The songs, through the emotion conveyed be it through the vocals or the guitars..it gets my blood rushing, it stands my hair on end. But most of all, it feels like there is a hand on my shoulder. This album gave me hope at a very bleak time. It gave me comfort at my weakest.

  35. A.... G....

    This song describes today's Christianity perfectly. Who do we trust? DO they even Preach Jesus name to save souls or to fatten their pockets? You may fool man, but God sees all. I'll stick to the voice of God in the Word, and the voice that rests within my heart. These tattooed young men that so- called sing this"satanic" music have saved more young souls than these wolves in sheep clothing ever will. Have faith brothers and sisters, we have Jesus and each other. The only thing that the powers of this world have is a coffin that is waiting to seal their fate when the time is right.

  36. P.... R....

    Lol there was a typo.. the lyrics said "I'll lose sight land" when it's supposed to be "sight OF land"... awesome song btw

  37. C.... ....

    Honestly even after years of listening this never gets old. Easily in my top 10 songs of all time.

  38. A.... M....

    I'm in love with this song I listen to it all the time I'm friend showed it to me when I was having a terrible day and I'm so happy he showed it to me this song helps me so much on days I just wanna give up

  39. G.... C....

    This song made me cry! And that's not an easy feat. I am in love with this band. It gives me hope,comfort, and understanding where it hadn't existed before. Never give up.  \m/

  40. m.... i....

    Ive been playing guitar for 5 years & I've never had the balls to sing... Until I heard these guys & now I just belt it out. Funny that we learn & help each other without trying sometimes. Thanks Oh Sleeper, you guys sound awesome, definitely inspired!

  41. S.... ....

    You are not along~Oh Sleeper

  42. C.... E....

    For the subject of the vocalist's first words of Pastors for Profits, just go ahead and read 1 Samuel 8:1-4. Now if some Atheists want to look it up as well they can, I understand that the atheist looks at Joel like he's a freaking joke. 

    C.... E....

    Actually, as an atheist, I keep an open mind to the idea that there may in fact be an omnipotent figure that created all biotic and abiotic things, however I do not believe that any specofic person could hold witness to an energy source of such magnificence.

    C.... E....

    @jacob kotecki Well see, that's part of the problem.
    Atheists accuse us of believing in God because he does something in relation to us. Answer a prayer, give us wealth, these are trivial things.
    It takes science and philosophy to come to the conclusion that the tri-une God might be very real.
    I don't doubt your open mindedness, just don't stop being skeptical about the nonfalsifiable that Joel Osteen preaches.
    As for God being a monad in distinction to a trinity, God would be finite giving credence to Solipsism.

  43. T.... M....

    That intro is the nastiest shit I've ever heard. \m/

    T.... M....

    +SHMOWZOW7 So nasty you had to repent

  44. c.... 8....

    i love this band idk why, but i enjoy every single song OH God thanks for the gift of music, and not only this kind of music, the diversity on music around the world is one of the things that make humans unique to the eyes of our God imo :).  

  45. G.... I....

    This song ~~~~~ <3 This band ~~~~ <3 

  46. C.... ....

    Do you remember the days when they said its the music of satan? Guess they're not listening to any lyrcis at all... Screaming doesn't mean you're a satanic freak biting off chicken heads. I love this song!

    C.... ....

    @Crylhound XD I find it most times funny because they say that no matter how and bible based the lyrics are if they scream its a demonic thing.

    C.... ....

    And if you should ask them what they listen to 7 times out of 10 its some recycled piece of shit top 100 grammy winning sorry ecxuse for "music" they picked up from the local radio.

    C.... ....

    Just call it "pop", its way shorter (=

    C.... ....

    Mainstream music is the work of the devil, it has messed up a whole generation and it’s the reason why 8th graders and 5th graders are having sex and smoking weed

    C.... ....

    They are more satan themselves, making their la-la-la songs to glorify god, but doing terrible things outside the church.

  47. A.... �....

    This is the best band!

  48. T.... C....

    I love this band c: 

  49. M.... ....

    Lyrics are so deep, cant stop crying :')  always a pleasure to listen to Oh, Sleeper.

  50. B.... M....

    jesus is a jew

    B.... M....

    captain obvious

  51. X.... ....

    these guys are all kinds of inspirational! i love the music they put out there and i love that they stick behind their cause! 
    keep up the great work guys

  52. C.... E....

    This is the song that had my Christian life screaming back into me. Thank the lord for these guys.

    C.... E....

    WELCOME HOME BROTHER. WE ARE ALL THE MEN OF GOD WHO NEED TO SUPPORT ONE ANOTHER! DO NOT BE BLIND, FIND A CHURCH, JOIN A BIBLE STUDY GROUP, READ THE BIBLE, STUDY IT!!!!!!!!

    Ephessions 6:10-18 is my daily prayer. WE NEED THE ARMOR OF GOD TO LIVE IN THIS EVIL WORLD!

    C.... E....

    This song is sick and the band is very good, but this is not because of christian lyrics.

    Don't be stupid, don't believe in a flying bearded man in the sky, believe in good music and christian values instead.

    C.... E....

    @AimTraining who ever said God was a flying bearded man? Sounds like you listen to the group that claims that God is a flying spaghetti monster as well.

    C.... E....

    @Gage Amaya no one really knows...

    C.... E....

    @AimTraining what good are the christian values without the bearded man in the sky?

  53. H.... M....

    This band may be religious. But this song speaks to me, not in a religious way at all. But that everything will be okay in the end, it's all about your personal interpretation. I am not religious myself, but I can still appreciate this song.

    H.... M....

    Herr Meister you don't need to be religious to believe in God.

    H.... M....

    That's 100% true. My goal is to have a relationship with God, not to be religious. I don't want this to turn into a "religion feud" so that's all i'm saying about that.

    H.... M....

    Good thing with whole this album and story behind it, that u can relate to it whether u are christian or not. I am not religious at all, and dont believe in gods, devils, angels or any made up beings, but as a moral human being I think lyrics in this whole album are absolutely amazing.

    H.... M....

    "the artist put together a message to say something specific, but I'm just going to ignore the important bits and just pay attention to certain ones cause the purpose of the song is definitely to just glean whatever you want from it."

    H.... M....

    Same here. That and the fact that they're all incredibly talented musicians and vocalists

  54. D.... P....

    Mine too!

  55. M.... ....

    That's what the real Christian faith teaches; not to be judgmental. Sadly, some people who call themselves Christians have perverted their faith and have made a mockery of it. True Christians love ALL people.

  56. L.... R....

    The real Christianity.

  57. J.... W....

    Delusion.

  58. K.... J....

    I think i just found my new favorite band. This isnt just speaking to my heart its is speaking to my soul. I feel like its about me.

  59. C.... P....

    Favorite song.

  60. D.... ....

    Hahahaahahaa... Owned.

  61. J.... S....

    No. Micah and Shane are definitely the christian ones. Zac is 100% not Christian, not sure about Nate. Their music is spiritual, not that of the "christian" religion. Their older albums we're definitely more christian influenced. But they are not a christian band. Silly silly person.

  62. S.... ....

    Whatever helps you cope with life is good. Religion can be a good force in life. But reality is reality, and there are no spirit creatures. At least not ones that have interest in present human affairs.

  63. P.... M....

    theyre not exclusively a christian band. hell most chirstian stores wont cell children of fire because its too violent. ironic because the bible is one of the most violent books out there

  64. C.... ....

    oh didn't know that thanks man

  65. d.... ....

    Gggghhyg

  66. d.... ....

    actually all of their songs are about christianity....derp.

  67. d.... ....

    actually mich is christian(screamer) but not all of the members in oh,sleeper are christian. though they did start out that way, the band has had lineup changes.

  68. C.... ....

    Watch one an interview about them, they're definitely Christian. Watch "Oh Sleeper Interview - Is God Real" pretty sure it sums it up.

  69. C.... ....

    hahahaha Jesus didn't waste His life, He sacrificed Himself on the cross for all of our sins, past, present, and future. God knew then that humanity would still screw up, because we're not perfect. The only way we have a chance of being perfect is through Christ and doing all that we can to bring glory to His name. Of course not everyone thinks that way, so not everyone is going to hold themselves to the same moral standards, not saying Christian's standards are any better than a non-believers.

  70. S.... ....

    Don't you mean "wasted his life"?? Considering how bad humanity is, destroying everything it comes across...

  71. T.... M....

    Good shit... Good shit...

  72. J.... K....

    Love this song!!! Them and Disciple and Red Kickaces!!! hahahah

  73. T.... P....

    According to you, darling.

    I respect your views, but not everyone holds the same ones.

    I just like the music cause it's good. ^_^

  74. P.... N....

    They literally are a christian band singing about the rapture. Like in this song.

  75. A.... F....

    I'm not sure truely if you can classify them as christian. Because all the members come from different religious views. More of a band for unity and the stop of hatred towards one another.

  76. x.... ....

    MIW isn't even on Solid State so no point in bringing that up.

  77. O.... H....

    Check Out My Videos

  78. O.... H....

    Motionless In white is deffinatly not a christian band. I know many that arent also

  79. O.... H....

    This is a christian band...?
    Ok

  80. F.... H....

    OOOOOOHHHHHHHH it's SICK

  81. L.... ....

    YEAH BECAUSE EVERY SONG IS ABOUT CHRISTIANITY.. DERP

    L.... ....

    Lucker508 lmfao okay buddy

  82. R.... L....

    Not true. They used to have He is Legend. He is Legend is not a Christian band. So correction: Mostly Christian bands. Lol

  83. R.... L....

    I'm not a Christian. I am actually an atheist. However, Oh, Sleeper is one of my favorite bands off all time. It saddens me that no one really likes to point out the fact that they write such amazing lyrics.

  84. L.... ....

    It sure is great seeing a CHRISTIAN BAND making such good music.

    HashtagChristianBands

  85. A.... E....

    Those riffs!!!!

  86. r.... ....

    Holy fuck this is good

  87. T.... B....

    Bro, you do realize that this record label is all Christian bands, right?

  88. L.... M....

    yes, yes i like!

  89. i.... ....

    You point and you judge
    Forgetting that their faith is molded by your lead!

  90. i.... ....

    This band is a great example of God shining in a dark place.

  91. N.... ....

    Because we don't even want to stop talking about Jesus considering he gave his life for us!

  92. H.... T....

    I do not know, maybe because it is a Christian band?

  93. G.... S....

    Or just watch the singers explanation :P
    Look up " Oh, Sleeper on their new record "Children Of Fire" "

  94. G.... S....

    Since "Children of Fire" tells a story (that started in the previous album...) it REALLY helps to have some context :D
    Previous Album Synopsis: Satan threatens God. God puts Satan in his place. God Wins.
    Children of Fire: Tells the stories of a once zealous "man of God" and his atheist daughter. Father becomes a tyrant because he thinks God is dead (2. Shed Your Soul). Daughter instead seeks out God. IMO "In The Wake of Pigs" is the daughter church hopping, but is disappointed in the leadership.

  95. P.... R....

    Wretched world, and make sure all people know that there is a God that loves and cares for you. The angels wings, in the Bible it says we will have wings like eagles, and meet Jesus in the sky during the Rapture. This is my interpretation ultimately.

  96. P.... R....

    From my interpretations, this song is about people who don't know where to go in life, multiple religions say they can help. They put faith in them, but all they do is leave and keep searching. In the beginning of the song, their talking about false prophets and fake religions only making the prophets money, but you're not benefiting. Ultimately you come to Christianity, and they talk about being lighthouses, "end your journey here" I believe they said. God sent us to be a light into this dark

  97. B.... ....

    Could somebody explain the meaning of this song? I had a wierded out first impression avout these guys...talking about rape and god and satan destroying each other or something...

  98. J.... N....

    God I love this song...
