1) British produce… Read Full Bio ↴There is more than one band named Seventh Avenue.
1) British producer Ian Levine was behind one of the first boy bands in history, Seventh Avenue, formed in 1979. Signing to one of the leading US disco labels, AVI Records, Seventh Avenue released the album Midnight in Manhattan, a love story in five acts - the back cover with two young boys stripped to the waist more than suggested it was a gay love story - starting with "Midnight in Manhattan", "New York's on Fire", then experiencing "Miami Heatwave" (a popular disco 12"), going "From Chicago to the Sky" to "L.A. at the End of the Day".
With the demise of disco, it seemed Seventh Avenue would be a one-off project before Levine decided to assemble a new line-up of the group in 1984 when he was working for Record Shack Records. The Northern Soul-flavoured "I Hear Thunder" became a hit on the UK Hi-NRG scene and was followed by "Ending up on a High", but it was "Love's Gone Mad" (1986) which caused a lot of buzz and it looked as if the group was about to cross over to the pop chart. Unfortunately, Record Shack proved unable to press enough copies of the single, thus preventing it from being able to enter the charts. Levine left the label in rage that they'd wasted this opportunity.
By the end of the year, Levine had formed his own label, Nightmare Records, which released four more Seventh Avenue singles over subsequent years, the line-up varying between three to four members on each release. In 1988, the LP The Love I Lost was released, assembling all their tracks recorded in the past four years. Hot Productions released Seventh Avenue's two albums as well as a compilation CD in the mid-90s.
2) Seventh Avenue is a Band From Germany who got their influences from Stryper and Iron Maiden. Music could best be defined as Melodic Power Metal. Band officially split up in 2012. Vocalist Herbie Langhans joined Band called Neoshine but because of legal reason band had to changed name to Sin Breed

Seventh Avenue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The priests and the leaders came together.
Making a plot against him.
He agitates against all of our rules.
His life is not worth a damn - right now.
When they sat together a girl came to them
Pouring an ointment on him.
You gonna catch it.
[BRIDGE:]
Take bread, take wine.
Bless it, share it out.
It's my body given for your sins.
For your sins.
[REFRAIN:]
My time has come - wish it would not.
I feel so cold - my death is near.
Never want to drink this sorrowful cup.
My heart is low - on this midnight hour.
I'll be alone - I'm frightened to death.
Yet not what I want but your will be done.
What will you give me if I betray him?
He is a thorn in my flesh.
You will get Silverterium from us.
You hand him over to us - come on.
On their last supper Ratis said to them.
I wanna tell you the truth.
I know that one of you will betray me.
I'm gonna take it.
[BRIDGE:]
Take bread, take wine.
Bless it, share it out.
It's my body given for your sins.
For your sins.
[REFRAIN:]
My time has come - wish it would not.
I feel so cold - my death is near.
Never want to drink this sorrowful cup.
My heart is low - on this midnight hour.
I'll be alone - I'm frightened to death.
Yet not what I want but your will be done.
[BRIDGE II:]
Spirit is willing.
But flesh is so weak.
Sleep now take your rest.
They're waiting for me - right now.
[BRIDGE:]
Take bread, take wine.
Bless it, share it out.
It's my body given for your sins.
For your sins.
[REFRAIN:]
My time has come - wish it would not.
I feel so cold - my death is near.
Never want to drink this sorrowful cup.
My heart is low - on this midnight hour.
I'll be alone - I'm frightened to death.
Yet not what I want but your will be done.
My time has come - wish it would not.
I feel so cold - my death is near.
Never want to drink this sorrowful cup.
My heart is low - on this midnight hour.
I'll be alone - I'm frightened to death.
Yet not what I want but your will be done.
The lyrics to Seventh Avenue's song Betrayal tell the story of a young man named Siroc, who betrays Ratis, the leader of their group, to the high priests for Silverterium, a substance that grants eternal life. Siroc is driven by greed and envy, as he feels humiliated by Ratis' rejection of his suggestion to sell a valuable holomovie for spare parts. The song starts with Siroc sneaking into the main temple in Cetris and ends with Ratis being arrested and the disciples fleeing, except for the betrayer. The song includes references to the Biblical story of Jesus' betrayal by Judas Iscariot.
The first verse describes the leaders' conspiracy against Ratis and their perception of him as a threat to their authority. The second verse refers to the famous scene of a woman anointing Jesus with expensive perfume as an act of love and devotion, which contrasts with the disciples' fear and doubt. The bridge and refrain focus on Ratis' impending death and his acceptance of God's will, as well as his sacrifice being a symbol of redemption for humanity. The second bridge alludes to the disciples' failure to stay awake and pray in the garden of Gethsemane before Jesus' arrest, and the realization that their leader is facing his fate alone.
The lyrics to Betrayal have a strong moral and spiritual message, emphasizing the themes of loyalty, temptation, forgiveness, and humility. The song's tone is mournful and introspective, with a sense of impending doom and inevitability. The use of religious imagery and metaphors creates a sense of timelessness and universality, as the story of betrayal and sacrifice resonates with people of different cultures and beliefs. Overall, Betrayal is a powerful and moving tribute to the enduring legacy of the Passion of Christ.

I'm sure they just used the word damn to emphasize a spiritual point of theirs and besides, it's not like they've used the word more than this instance, unless I missed something.

Bad words are just common to some people. A cousin of mine is a good christian and he swears a lot and i asked him why and he said the military taught him that.
