In the music video, theyre dancing around a bunch of burning crosses laying on the ground. I'm guessing theyre talking about their complete abandonment of the Christian faith, and have devoted themselves to satanism, or at least anti-christianity.
I recognise that you have posted this as your 'opinion'. However you are certainly wrong. Okay, firstly they are not burning crosses. They're just ordinary fire pits/camp fires. Clearly you just want them to be burning crosses to back up your belief. If you look closely though, they are just camp fires. (If you just look at the basic pattern of a campfire, they can look similar to a cross, but that's just the way they're BUILT)

Secondly, the music video actually doesn't relate to the lyrics of this song at all. So your overall premise is incorrect as...
Secondly, the music video actually doesn't relate to the lyrics of this song at all. So your overall premise is incorrect as the evidence you use is unrelated. The basic meaning of the song is that some person of extreme power (e.g. a king) is abusing that power by using it for personal gain. They are not doing their job and because of this society (or the empire) is failing. This then means that people in that society have to fight to survive. The meaning of this song could be compared to the dystopian or apocalyptic genres which are popular in films/books right now. The video, however, contains Blessthefall performing at night with camp fires/small bonfires as a source of light and warmth. It shows clips of Beau Bokan chopping wood in the forest - so he's getting fire wood. And then when he's built the bonfire he's just watching it, looking deep in thought. Then he accidentally catches fire and in the end he 'becomes' the person in the album artwork for 'Hollow Bodies'. Potentially, that could be what is meant by hollow bodies.
Thirdly, all the members of Blessthefall are Roman Catholics. This makes it very hard to believe that they would write and perform a song about abandonment of the Christian faith or Satanism or anti-Christianity. It seems to me that you're just another person who unfortunately believes that all rock/metal/punk music is wrong. I'm sorry that this song doesn't mean what you want it to mean.
