Coheed and Cambria Album

(a series of rings)

Hello?

...intro...

Hello Apollo, Where should I begin?

song fades in to ...*in keeping secrets if silent E*

A broad incision sits across the evening
The victim to our fathers' lost war
The restless children sit and mourn the graves
Of those they've never seen before
Will they be buried here among the dead
In the silent secret

The pioneers
In dealing with it they march for dawn...of will and worthy
The truth be told the child was born

Man your own jackhammer
Man your battle stations
We'll have you dead pretty soon
And now
Sincerely written from my brother's blood machine
Man your battle stations
We'll have you home pretty soon
And now

Awake through motion
With curious to curtain your first move
Over arms length they'll break protocol
Jealous envy for the youngest one
To be the hero is all I'll ask
Can I be buried here among the dead
With room to honor me here in the end
You'll be better off too soon
You'll be better off when you get home

The pioneers
In dealing with it they'll march for dawn...for will and worthy
The truth be told the child was born

Man your own jackhammer
Man your battle stations
We'll have you dead pretty soon
And now
Sincerely written from my brother's blood machine
Man your battle stations
We'll have you home pretty soon
And now

For you i'd do anything
Just to make you happy
Hear you tell me that your proud of me
For them i'll kill anything
Cut the throats of babies for them
Break they're hearts for they were them
Waiting for you to say
I love you too

The navigator
The pilot
Her favorite
The one they call the vision that bears the gift
The navigator
The pilot
Her favorite
The one they call the vision that bears the gift

Will, do the children really understand the things you did to them
And why oh why
Should they conjure up the will
For you my love I would kill him
we're coming home pretty soon
We're coming home

In the seventh turning hour
Will the victims shadow fall
Should the irony grow hungry
With the victory and all they sought for
We were one among the fence
One among the fence

Woah...Woah (15X)

Woah...
Woah...
Woah...
Coming...
Coming...
Tonight...
Tonight...
Now we're coming home...

Man your own jackhammer
Man your battle stations
We'll have you dead pretty soon
And now
Sincerely written from my brother's blood machine
Man your battle stations
We'll have you home pretty soon
Till then...

Listen to the world out on the outside pressing in
Are you ready on my mark
Fingers given names and with the last word they ascend
On the comfort of their well being...in arms
Into something they can't stop but wish that they could kill
You're the answer to their prayer
In your last hour stand
You'll notice the one that you had loved in dreams is here among the others
Chase it's you I want but if I can't have her
Then why should I spend any more time in a world that's going to end pretty soon
I need you now more than I ever did
I'll hand myself over for you
This comlink's lost its frequency and I feel that we're coming home short
Here take me instead I'd rather not see her off alone

Scattered amongst the killing streets the children slate defense
Is god's work to have us fail?
Rivered blood streams out the dead as bodies foul the air
I'll make peace when this done
In arms...we storm
Slowly the streets begin to fill with new flesh bound to bone
Armed and ready it begins again...
In your last hour stand
You'll notice the one that you had loved in dreams is here among the others
Chase it's you I want but if I can't have her
Then why should I spend any more time in a world that's going to end pretty soon
I need you now more than I ever did
I'll hand myself over for you
This comlink's lost its frequency and I feel that we're coming home short
Here take me instead I'd rather not see her off alone

Tonight we form
Tonight
Ha ha ha

Deliver a favor to my love
Deliver a favor to my love
Deliver a favor to my love
Deliver a favor to my love

In your last hour stand
You'll notice the one that you had loved in dreams is here among the others
Chase it's you I want but if I can't have her
Then why should I spend any more time in a world that's going to end pretty soon
I need you now more than I ever did
I'll hand myself over for you
This comlink's lost its frequency and I feel that we're coming home short
Here take me instead I'd rather not see her off alone...

Across the floor in the hand of where we drove the drill
a cautious ear to the mouth of your confession
think of all the things we put him through
in the face of his god would he tell the truth?

still recorded were the words that dribbled out his kiss
when eyes go blind in this man of what could once become
sever the limbs off his torso in sleep
and burn what remains so the world may now see
no longer...will we wait for your answers
back to the hell where you've come from
think of all the times you've once had
write them in a letter that says goodbye

you'll listen to reason while you're face down in the dirt
you'll stomach the hurt and break for him here just how much he's worth

slowly discarded were the remains of his lonely youth
among the alley where the dwellers scare to notice
picture a young boy in pieces and streets with leveled malfunctions
no name to be called redeemer
We'll fix him restore him...with the love is no other
think of all the things you did before
write them in a letter that says reborn

you'll listen to reason while you're face down in the dirt
you'll stomach the hurt and break for him here just how much he's worth

following you across the interstate walking away...I'll fire on
following you across the interstate walking away...I'll fire on
following you across the interstate walking away...I'll fire on

on the wrong way out
on the causeway to neverwhere
on the wrong way out
on the causeway to neverwhere
on the wrong way out
on the causeway to neverwhere

dear my friends in the time we've spent forever after beyond this when will our nightmare ever end?
dear my friends in the time we've spent forever after beyond this when will our nightmare ever end?

pull the trigger and the nightmare stops...

I fed the clues of a lost day, killed in motion
But I thought of it so like there's no other way it could have been done
Will they size my fit for a puzzle I wish not to play part in it
A heart stained in hate, a feeling I fear will play circles

But you, you were my favorite
But you, ya know, you were my favorite

I severed my ties to shroud this body under the streets of this city
And wait for the day when I am summoned to walk across the face
Well slowly but clearer now, in visions that play and plague memories
I love them with all as a son should, to mother and father

But you, you were my favorite
But you, ya know, you were my favorite

Would I walk through the door
Shedding the light of a life
With the rise and reform
Would I come as before

Pray you're not the only one
Pray you're not the only

If given mistakes would I take them back
If erasing them could, if erasing them would

What would they be the words that I would say
Your face and a door between
I've parted three ways for you, the NEWO that i love

Did you ever really know before my face, shame to break
Did you ever really know before my mind, scared to think
Did you ever really know before my name, son to these
Did you, did you, did you come clean in the end from the start

Dear Ambellina, the prise wishes you to watch over me, oh
Dear Ambellina, the prise wishes you to watch over me, oh
I've fought the decisions that call and lost my mark as the relevant piece in this
I will come reformed
In short for the murders of those I court, I bless the hour that holds your fall
I will kill you all

I will call you out from shelter burn your wings, you'll know no better
I will call you out from shelter burn your wings and learn their letters
I will call you out from shelter burn your wings and learn their letters
I will call you out from shelter burn your wings and learn their letters
I will call you out from shelter burn your wings and learn their letters

Faint white figures paint my sleep
please don't tell my secrets keep them hidden (you got it) x3
if the words that matter reach your face from floor
will you be wondering if, or (do I need what is given or honest)
does it cost me scarring if the words stay true
even number your nephew (I don't want it don't want it don't want anymore)

and when the answer that you want
is in the question that you state
Come what may (come what may)

when in the answer that you want
Is in the question that you state
Come what may (come what may)

in the pain that buckles out your knees
could you stop this if I plead (you got it) x3
so destined I am to walk among the dark
a child in keeping secrets from (will they know what I've done in the after)
in the sought for matter when the words blame you
in a blood red summer I'll give you (I don't want it don't want it don't want it)

and when the answer that you want
is in the question that you state
Come what may (come what may)

when in the answer that you want
Is in the question that you state
Come what may (come what may)

With the worries that I'd give her in they told the worst of me
My wanting just to hold your neck in my arms and feel me squeeze
No I'm not going to give you what you want so if you please
The sin that shapes your voice carries my ears in this new disease

did somebody take your "tongue"
in worries of the words that you couldn't say if they could've saved them from
but I don't want to sleep without so I bid to you goodnight
tonight sleep tight my love

the anxious through the calming storm you'll sit as you pray for rain
I'll touch it if you ask me to but how is up to you
no I'm not going to let you get up if you struggle willingly
I'll favor all your form to show you how it's been done to me

Did someboy take your "tongue"
in worries of the words that you couldn't say if they could've saved them from
but I don't want to sleep without so i bid to you goodnight sleep tight my love
with all the words you say ...you'll save

you were so well behaved
as you arched and made your way
this gift for you engraved the shift as stretch your legs
you were so well behaved
you were so well
who taught these tricks that made...you were so well behaved

if the world stops turning girl you better not stop when I say
if there was nothing you could do to stop it why'd you try?
then the ground starts parting through the silence as you woke up the dead
everything here dies alone...
but I'm not quite sure what you've been told
on Labor Day
I'm not starting with you but the faint of hearts
Will worries weigh?
but i'm not quite sure what this unfolds
on Labor Day
I'm not starting with you but the faint of hearts

did somebody take your tongue
in worries of the words that you couldn't say if they could've saved them from
but i don't want to sleep without so i bid to you goodnight tonight sleep tight my love
with all the words you say

did somebody take your tongue
in worries of the words that you couldn't say if they could've saved them from
but i don't want to sleep without so i bid to you goodnight tonight sleep tight my gun.

Rocked silent in a soft lullaby
panic stirred me awakened by a ringing phone in time
(where and when would I see her?)
Crazy were the words that scribbled out your mouth
I stuttered replacing your face to those words
(where and when would I kill her?)
I'll wish on this, I'll wish with this
I, i'll wish...to the bitter end of my day, well
where were you?

So you had your turn and you made it work
now I'm the laughing stock of your joke
as crazy as it may seem I cried for you when you
told me to date all of the things that made you end up in my life
and I'll believe anything
I have no luck with girls

I overheard that you were unhappy too
misleading trust into a relationship that makes no sense
over and out Connecticut
but you had your back turned as you faded away
at the end of my day I found out
you weren't worth what I thought of you, what i thought of you

write this down in the diary you abuse
can we make plans can I just get through to you
is this weird...do I scare her?
I'll wish on this, I'll wish with this
I i'll wish...that you could share the love you'd shared with others, with me

so you had your turn and you made it work
now I'm the laughing stock of your joke
as crazy as it may seem I cried for you when you
told me to date all of the things that made you end up in my life
and I'll believe anything
I have no luck with girls

I overheard that you were unhappy too
misleading trust into a relationship that makes no sense
over and out Connecticut
but you had your back turned as you faded away
at the end of my day I found out
you weren't worth what I thought of you, what i thought of you
what i thought of you....ooohh

this isn't love so forever let it go...forever will it burn
this isn't love there on the backend of forever I wish I would
never hurt again

I wish I would never hurt again
I wish I would never hurt again...

At birth given scars along tender heart liberties
injustice for awkward living situated causalities
they lay dead along your floor
careful not to wake them they're sleeping
in the morrows good mourning
the dying will discard the wish to live
let this colony know in the name of the dead we're coming

when I kill her, I'll have her
(dance upon the graves of the dead, upon your name!)
die white girls, die white girls
(dance upon the graves of the dead, upon the graves of the dead!)

you'll get nothing for something
arise the hidden war of a dead song, unsung
the night of your children's day
beneath the surface sealed by the floors boarded up
seal the lips of your voice with haste
and cower at the sounds as they make their way
surprise speed and malice
the opposing break the surface hold ready
will the killing veil love should the heroes play dumb
but killing's no fun when the heroes are none
bye, bye world

Your eyes tell the stories of a day you wish you could
Recall the moments that once have
Retrack the footsteps that brought us to this favor
I wouldn't ask this of you

Good eye, sniper
Here I'll shoot, and you run
The words you scribbled on the walls
The lots of friends you didn't have
I'll call you when the time is right
Are you in or are you out?
For them all to know the end of us all

Run quick, they're behind us
Didn't think we'd ever make it
*This close to safety in one peace*
Now you wanna kill me in the act of what could maybe
Save us from sleep and what we are

Good eye, sniper
Now I'll shoot, and you run
The words you scribbled on the walls
The lots of friends you didn't have
I called you and the time is right
Are you in or are you out?
For them all to know the end of us all

Bye bye beautiful
Don't bother to write
Disturbed by your words and they're calling all cars
Face step, let down.
Face step, step down.

The words you scribbled on the walls
With the lots of friends you didn't have
I called you and the time is right
Are you in or are you out?
For them all to know

Bye bye beautiful
Don't bother to write
Disturbed by your words and they're calling all cars
Face step, let down.
Face step, step down.

Bye bye beautiful
Don't bother to write
Disturbed by your words and they're calling all cars
Face step, let down.
Face step, step down.

Slowly the pen touches paper in the guidance of the words that you write
memories roll in of the things you once did
and who you had shared them with is somebody thinking of you
did I bother telling you this with the words that cross teeth and jump lips
a poor choice of words in wanting to tell you anything
but words don't come with ease they're forever my hurt
would it really matter if you were to count the days left with your hands
your focus secure and the loves you left well
smiles staged in photographs here until...

you left the light on
theres a chance I might have tripped girl
you were there to hold on

ignoring the words of your obnoxious little brother
kill or be killed spilled the words from your mother

I'll lay awake for a while
I'll leave the light on a while

you couldn't last a lifetime caught between here and the days of it
carving her name across your arm with every wish it's hit or miss her
I told you so I measure distance in lines departing the rest of my life
but you had better things to do...liar

if you'd get put to sleep, like an old dog you're better off, should you get put to sleep
I've been cautious with the words I extend
allow this year before the world starts to end

your father's dead he passed in his sleep, and I woke to the sounds of her crying

pray for us all...my dearest apollo I'll be burning star 4

In our sleep, there's more to this night.
Now will she beg for your mercy?
Slowly but sure, I'm hoping what comes in the absense of love.
At night, she'll kick and she'll fight, should they fill in his sight?
At night, I'll worry from all, the end of us all.

Please mom, they're coming for me.
Please mom, run lock your door, they're coming for me.

The clock reads 21:13.
All work will stop,
And the ground will relieve.

Please mom, they're coming for me.
Please mom, run lock your door, they're coming for...

When I fall asleep,
Your face is all I see...
Dear momma I love.
I fall asleep,
Your face is all I dream...
Dear momma I love.

Ohhhhhhh...
In your frame you'll be this well.
In the face you miss the most,
You'll see them soon...stop.
I bid you fair warning,
Stay up 'til you...
When the memories occur,
Of a life you haven't lived.
Stay still, you will.
I've got a secret to hide,
And I've got a secret to hide...

In the words,
Of father to son.
Thy Kingdom Come.

Whoa whoa whoa..
Whoa whoa whoa..
Whoa whoa whoa..
Whoa whoa whoa..

Please mom, they're coming for me.
Please mom, run lock your door, they're coming for...

When I fall asleep,
Your face is all I see...
Dear momma I love.
I fall asleep,
Your face is all I dream...
Dear momma I love.

Whoa whoa whoa.
Whoa whoa whoa.
When I fall asleep.
Whoa whoa whoa.
Whoa whoa whoa.
When I fall asleep...

Those days we lost our dignity,
The eager dare to stand.
The right home through victory,
All the innocent they tried.

But I robot will never die.
I robot will never die.
But I robot will never die.
But I robot will never die...
