Song of the Week- "Sweet Blasphemy"
By Black Veil Brides

The Lyrics of "Sweet Blasphemy"*:

Through sadness you have taught us to be one with the crowd
Unveil the sacred order, hymns of falling down
You told the greatest stories, of love and bleeding crowns
But to the sick and hungry, you cannot be found

 We are young and we are strong
Through strength in self we become
Something more than they can be
I raise my heart and sing!
 That I won't believe this lie
I know there's something more inside
When darkness is all you'll see
This is our Sweet Blasphemy

 Silence the crooked holy, unchain the tied and bound
No time for allegory, one true reigning sound
Unite the lonely mourning, a simple servant now
We are the only glory, hear us screaming loud

 We are young and we are strong
I raise my heart and sing!
 That I won't believe this lie
I know there's something more inside
When darkness is all you'll see
This is our Sweet Blasphemy

 We are young and we are strong
Through strength in self we become
Something more than they can be
This is our Sweet Blasphemy

 That I won't believe this lie
I know there's something more inside
When darkness is all you'll see
This is our Sweet Blasphemy (2x)

The Meaning of "Sweet Blasphemy":

This song seems to be addressing the "holier than thou" attitude that many religious people hold over others because of differences that don't actually effect faith in any way. "These people tell others that they are inferior because of appearance or taste in music, but really God loves us for who we are (supposedly), so why should his people be judging us? " seems to be the message that the song is trying to communicate. Also, it seems to be saying that, "Hey, you ["Christians"] feed me these fantastical stories of love and battle, but I'm working twice as hard as those people in the stories and still coming home every night to an empty table."
