## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**

You, you keeping on screaming

From the top of your lungs

Mr. Who Gives a Shit, just shut up

Oh, the podium is all yours, go right ahead

The plastic king of castle polyethylene

Go on, time to be a good little pig

You're worth it, oh, you're so, so

**[Chorus]**

'Cause when the rug gets pulled out from underneath

Just embrace the fall

Oh, you got spirit kid, you're number one

Go on living that farce

'Cause nobody gives a fuck who you are

**[Verse 2]**

You, I'll never have the chance that you got

No, oh, I won’t dwell

I'll just accept I'll be forgot, forgotten

**[Chorus]**

'Cause when the rug gets pulled out from underneath

Just embrace the fall

Oh, you got spirit kid, you're number one

Go on living that farce

'Cause nobody gives a fuck who you are

**[Bridge]**

So why are you crying?

So why are you crying when you've got the world?

When you've got the world to command?

**[Chorus]**

'Cause when the rug gets pulled out from underneath

Just embrace the fall

Oh, you got spirit kid, you're number one

Go on living that farce

'Cause nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody, no

Nobody gives a fuck

Nobody gives, nobody gives a fuck

'Cause nobody gives a fuck who you are

## Music Video

## Background

Sanchez said, "The track is a denunciation of the loud-mouthed over-privileged sects of society, barely masked beneath a jaunty, almost poppy prog-rock instrumentation."

"Wayne Andrews, The Old Bee Keeper"

The Album Art by Bill Scoville.

**"Wayne Andrews, the Old Bee Keeper"** is a song by the American musician Claudio Sanchez under his solo project, The Prize Fighter Inferno. It is the ninth song on the project's 2006 debut album *My Brother's Blood Machine*.

## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**

I'm the keeper of the bees, as you've known

Just a worthless memory in this house

Through the light of day and dark, will you notice me?

I'm the keeper of the bees; I'm a dead man

**[Chorus]**

Dear Diary, I won't keep her awake anymore

**[Verse 2]**

I won't love her anymore, she won't let me

Just a journeyman's journey to the end

Will this road hold home for good, will I ever see?

Against this broken street I'll gain, it will comfort me

**[Chorus]**
Dear Diary, I won't keep her awake anymore

## Story Context

> Main article: My Brother's Blood Machine (comic)

**As the official story has not yet been released, anything in this section is speculation, not fact. More so than usual, of course.**

This song is about a completely different character who doesn't seem to have a connection with any other we currently know about. Wayne Andrews, the former Bee Keeper in Margretville, haunts his wife, and in doing so causes her much grief. Finally, he decides to move on, since he can see he's only hurting her.

## Trivia

* Travis Stever played lap steel for this track.
* A live version was played on the original Neverender tour (London, Night 4) and was included in the Bonus DVD later released for the tour.

Neverender 12%

The official album art.

***Neverender 12%*** is the first official EP released by Coheed and Cambria. It is called 12% because it contains just six tracks from their epic, four-day live event called Neverender, which rationally came to just 12% of all the songs played during the event.

## Trivia

* The EP was only available for purchase through counter-culture retailer Hot Topic.
* It was mastered and mixed at Mike's Mix Room in Madeira Beach, Florida.

Butchie Bleam

Spoiler Alert!The following page/section contains many spoilers.We recommend checking the corresponding album page to read a spoiler-free version of the plot summary. Please continue at your own risk.

### Relatives

An unnamed father
An unnamed mother
Long-Arm Bleam (brother)

## Appearances

### Debut

*My Brother's Blood Machine* (2022?)

**Butchie Bleam** is one of two sons in The Bleam Family, the other being Long-Arm. They have as of yet unnamed parents. Their mother told them that God had told her her sons were to be the new Gods of Death and collect souls for Him. They devise the Blood Machine to crush a body and thus release its soul.

## Appearance

Butchie seems to be abnormally short and a little stout. He has several facial deformities as well, including a third eye next to his left one, an overly large mouth, and his nose is recessed into his face. He is very talkative and often rides on his brother's left shoulder.

## Relationships

### Bleam Parents

> Main article: Bleam Parents

Bleam seems to have a strange, almost impersonal relationship with his parents. Though we know very little about them, this is probably due to their psychosis. It has been described that they are meth addicts and the father may be a priest, though whether that is even legitimate or not is currently unknown. He may be the priest of a cult (one that is family-based), or only tells the children he is a priest. Even though there probably is a priest figure in the story, the Bleam patriarch may not be him at all.

### Long-Arm Bleam

> Main article: Long-Arm Bleam

Bleam seems to have the closest relationship with his brother Long-Arm. It is not known which brother is older, but it seems to be Long-Arm. The two may have a bit of a rivalry as well. He seems to do most of the talking for the two and rides around on Long-Arm's left shoulder.

### Cecilia McCloud

> Main article: Cecilia McCloud

McCloud catches the eye of one or both Bleam brothers and it may be that they fight over her.
"Lucky Stars"

The Album Art by Chase Stone.

**"Lucky Stars"** is a song by the American rock band Coheed and Cambria. It is the fifteenth and final song on their 2018 album *Vaxis – Act I: The Unheavenly Creatures*.

## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**

This could be the biggest mistake we make in this life

Chasing as we tried to compete for each other's time

From the world we locked ourselves inside, in a place to keep us safe from all to see

They can't hide you from me

**[Chorus]**

Thank your lucky stars that we can call this ours

We've had some bad ideas, yet we're still here in this life worth dreaming

I can be your heart, be your soul, just don't let me off easy, don't you let me go

Thank your lucky stars that we can call this ours

**[Verse 2]**

A lovely mess we find ourselves in, we brave it so bold

Quietly, we dance through the heat, your hand as I hold

But their warnings left us no concern as we swallow the truth whole, unoriginal

We're losing control

**[Chorus]**

Thank your lucky stars that we can call this ours

We've had some bad ideas, yet we're still here in this life worth dreaming of

I can be your heart, be your soul, just don't let me off easy, don't you let me go

Thank your lucky stars

**[Bridge]**

Remember all the ghosts that you left them with

Remember all the ghosts that you left them with

Remember all the ghosts that you left them with

Don't give 'em up, don't give 'em up, don't give 'em up

**[Chorus]**

Thank your lucky stars that we can call this ours

We've had some bad ideas yet we're still here in this life worth dreaming

I can be your heart, be your soul, just don't let me off easy, don't you let me go

Thank your lucky stars

**[Outro]**

Thank your lucky stars

Thank your lucky stars

Thank your lucky stars

Thank your lucky stars

Thank your lucky stars

Thank your lucky stars

Thank your lucky stars

Thank your lucky stars

## Story Context

This song doesn't seem to have a specific one-to-one in the novella, but it could be describing Nia and Nos' as they fly away from The Dark Sentencer.

## Trivia

* In an interview with *Rolling Stone*, Sanchez said, "...when I hear that song, I see the end of the story — I see Creature and Sister Spider donning their masks with their armor and weapons, posed as they ascend out of The Dark Sentencer, in this sort of beautiful, slow-motion dance as all this chaos surrounds them."
* The working title for this track was "Thank Your Lucky Stars".
* The title of this song may refer to the 1943 movie, *Thank Your Lucky Stars*, but it is a popular phrase nowadays, so this is speculation.

## Music Video

Official Visualizer on YouTube

**"Death Rattle"** is a song by the American musician Claudio Sanchez under his solo project, The Prize Fighter Inferno. It is the second song and second single on the project's second album *The City Introvert*.

## Lyrics

It only matters when it matters most

I fell asleep a child and woke adult

Now I complain my, body aches in pain

I try so hard to listen

But most, you say I'm missing

These ears don't work the same

Forgetful they say, but I just can't place

Where I left my brain

Have I met my match?

A stroke, a heart attack

My fears are coming true

Nothing I can do but

Stand here waiting for

While Death comes knocking at my door

Someone who can't let go

Won't let go of me

Oh, I feel so broken

An old person cliché

It keeps me questioning

"Did I lose out on something?"

Was I happier this way?

Alone I say, in my thinly numbered days

It's clear; oh, I lost another year, so

Stand here waiting for

While Death comes knocking at my door

Someone who can't let go

Won't let go of me

So it goes

From the gallows pole

I'll hang my broken heart

Time will weigh

The old against the new

Oh, here comes closure

With his entourage of regrets

He extends out his hand

A card in his fingers

He winks, wishes his best

And so it reads

Oh, not everybody needs someone

It's okay to be alone, son

Stand here waiting for

While Death comes knocking at my door

Someone who can't let go

Won't let go of me

Stand here waiting for

While Death comes knocking at my door

Someone who can't let go

Won't let go of me

"The Missing McCloud Boys"

The Album Art by Bill Scoville.

**"The Missing McCloud Boys"** is a song by the American musician Claudio Sanchez under his solo project, The Prize Fighter Inferno. It is the tenth song and third single on the project's 2006 debut album *My Brother's Blood Machine*.

## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**

In the days when children sung

In the heart claimed, shattered sun

You were right in telling them

Where they were, beneath the snow

Space call God, right now

Let them be judged upon

What they've done to him, my son

In the snow, before the sun

**[Pre-Chorus]**

Please God, right now

Please God, right now

**[Chorus]**

If they could only say all the things they saw

Would they? They were only boys

With time, I create, invest—investigate

Puzzle solved, belated

If they could only say all the things they saw

Would they? They were only boys

With time, I create, invest—investigate

Puzzle solved, belated

**[Verse 2]**

"Which one killed my boy?"

My question to the incriminating convoy

I want death and blood for my sons

In the curse that warms the sun

**[Pre-Chorus]**

Please God, right now

Please God, right now

**[Chorus]**

If they could only say all the things they saw

Would they? They were only boys

With time, I create, invest—investigate

Puzzle solved, belated

If they could only say all the things they saw

Would they? They were only boys

With time, I create, invest—investigate

Puzzle solved, belated

If they could only say all the things they saw

Would they? They were only boys

With time, I create, invest—investigate

Puzzle solved, belated

If they could only say all the things they saw

Would they? They were only boys...

## Story Context

> Main article: My Brother's Blood Machine (comic)

**As the official story has not yet been released, anything in this section is speculation, not fact. More so than usual, of course.**

This song is heavily debated. Did Long-Arm or Butchie die and Mama Bleam is upset, or did one of the McCloud Twins die and Martha is upset? It's really hard to tell. Perhaps both families lost a son, even. The fact that song's original title was "I'm Going to Kill You" and was changed to "The Missing McCloud Boys" may mean it was one or both of the McCloud Boys who was killed. This is further supported by the lines "You were right in telling them
/ Where they were, beneath the snow" which seems to imply multiple bodies, yet only one son was killed; or put another way, other bodies aside from the son that was killed. As the McCloud Twins had not been established killers by this point, it seems likely that the Bleams are the killers in this scenario.

## Trivia

* This song was originally titled, "I'm Going to Kill You".
* This song was featured on the Equal Vision compilation "Inventing The Scene" in 2003 alongside Coheed and Cambria's "Elf Tower New Mexico".

"Ghost"

Album Art.

**"Ghost"** is a song by the American rock band Coheed and Cambria. It is the fifth track on their 2015 album *The Color Before the Sun*. A demo version of the song was released on *The Color Before the Sun* (Big Beige / 4th Street Demos) album and on the *The Color Before the Sun*: Deconstructed album.

## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**

I fuss and fight my curiosity

With welcome arms and frightened fingers, twitched anxiety

Here it comes, a clean slate, picture perfect, no mistakes

How am I to keep from blemishing this masterpiece?

How am I to know?

How am I to know?

**[Verse 2]**

As a boy I watched the world through broken eyes

Given to me by a man, his wife and all they had disguised

Uncertainty now keeps me asking how I’ll lead the most

As they became, or will I teach the examples of their ghost?

**[Refrain]**

Free me

From this body

I just wanna, wanna be on the outside

Looking in *(on you...)*

Free me

From this body

I just wanna, wanna be on the outside

Looking in

**[Outro]**

Free me
Free me

## Background

Sanchez said, "Ghost is a very introspective song. It’s an acoustic track, and it ends Side A of the record. Once I knew we were expecting the birth of our first son, this song allowed me a moment to question myself and ask what kind of a father I was going to be. It was all so new to me, and I wondered whether it was going to be an original experience, or if I was going to echo the ghost of my parents and their upbringing. I’m sure it’ll be a little bit of both, but that’s why I approached the song in such a stripped down manner. It’s me contemplating my future as a father. And the more I look at this album now, the more I think there is a concept there, it’s just more autobiographical rather than a science-fiction fantasy. It’s a story about a man and his wife, and the trials that they endure pre- and post-parenthood. It’s like a Coheed and Cambria concept record, except that it’s about Claudio and Chondra."

"The Reaping"

Album Art by Ken Kelly.

**"The Reaping"** is a song by the American rock band Coheed and Cambria. It is the first song on their 2007 album *Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV - Volume Two: No World For Tomorrow*.

## Lyrics

**[Verse]**

Hell must know there have been worse things I've done

I hold out these hands to receive the sum

Purge these days, will we accept the things we must?

The world will now learn of change to come

Or no world...

## Story Context

**As the official story has not yet been released, anything in this section is speculation, not fact. More so than usual, of course.**

The speaker of these lines may be Jesse Kilgannon as he has done a lot of shitty things to get to where he is (residing in Mayo Deftinwolf's body), but always justifying it as being for a greater cause.

It is most likely NOT Claudio Kilgannon as the worst thing he's ever done is kill in self-defense. This certainly doesn't stack up to some of the things Jesse has done.

## Trivia

* As usual, the first track of every album is a mood-setter and is usually lyric-less with a Piano Interlude feature. This track subverts this, probably because it is meant to be a Part 2 (Volume 2) to the original Good Apollo album.

"Wake Up!"

Album Art.

**"Wake Up!"** is a song by the American rock band Shabutie. It is one of five tracks on their 1999 EP *Plan to Take Over the World*. (The official order of the tracks are disputed.)

## Lyrics

**[Intro]**

Wake up!

**[Verse 1]**

I'm on the inside, you can't punish the sane

Oh, how weak you stand, I'm at your strong side

Wake up Dad, I'm a man, can you stomach this?

I've licked the inside, pierced the chest of a God

**[Pre-Chorus]**

Who is the hard charger? Liar

And my fist in place (of) your mouth

**[Verse 2]**

You've been a bad dog

Locked in, moralize the sounds that surround my nerves

Twitching to please you

Try that shit again, motherfucker, I'll knock your teeth in

**[Pre-Chorus]**

It's hard charger, liar

My fist in place (of) your mouth

It's hard charger, liar

Come play my games, wake up

**[Chorus]**

And I'm never going back there, once again

And I loved her so much, I was afraid

And to sit here in the silence, listen for cries

Oh, I've been denied

**[Verse 3]**

I moan, I miss you

Like a beggar to Christ, what I wish of you

Grown on the outside

It'll come out of our salary, in similar effect

**[Pre-Chorus]**

It's hard charger, liar

My fist in place (of) your mouth

It's hard charger, liar

Come play my games, wake up

**[Bridge]**

Never fucked her, never

I give it back to you

Never fucked her, never

Yes back to...

Never fucked her, never

Give it back

'Cause I never fucked her, never

Give it back

**[Chorus]**

And I'm never going back there, once again

And I loved her so much, I was afraid

And to sit here in the silence, listen for cries

No, I've been denied

No, I'm never going higher

No, I'm never going higher

No, I'm never going higher

No, I'm never going higher

## Story Context

It is unclear if this track has any connection to *The Amory Wars*.

## Trivia

* Nate Kelley played drums for this album.
* "Wake Up" is also the title of Coheed and Cambria's eighth track on their 2005 album *Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV - Volume One: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness*.

"Our Love"

Album Art by Chase Stone.

**"Our Love"** is a song by the American rock band Coheed and Cambria. It is the tenth song on their 2022 album *Vaxis - Act II: A Window of the Waking Mind*.

## Lyrics

**[Chorus]**

Our love won't surrender to the odds up against us

No...

But there's something about this

I know we can't miss

Let's take a chance on forever

**[Verse 1]**

I'm reliving all those days you loved so well

Totally open, I became the one you fell

For worse or better, I would never dishonor

Give you all the ammo that you want, you deserve so

I'll be better once the arrow hits heart

Give you thе wedding that you want... you are so

Out of my leaguе

Out of my league

I'll be your guide when you wanna get lost

Be the sword at your side... at all cost

**[Chorus]**

Our love won't surrender to the odds up against us

No...

But there's something about this

I know we can't miss

Let's take a chance on forever

Out of my league

Our love won't surrender to the odds up against us

No...

But there's something about this

I know we can't miss

Let's do this now or we'll never

Our love won't surrender to the odds up against us

No...

But there's something about this

I know we can't miss

Let's do this now or we'll never

## Story Context

I would hope this is pretty obvious, no? It's a love song about Nia and Nos! Simple, elegant, beautiful. They're about to head into HOSS' headquarters and the odds are stacked against them, but they've made their vows and they're just going to take the plunge—together. Of course, Nos is sappy. That's it!

## Background

This song was met to be a segue piece; the characters are about to "go into the lion's den" to save their son and make promises that their love will preserve and they'll get through it.

## Trivia

* Sanchez used a Korg ARP 2600 synth to create the core melody.

**"Shameless"** is a song by the American rock band Shabutie. It is the first track on their 1999 EP *The Penelope EP*.

## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**

Remember your innocence set fire to December

I'm giving away you, but now it supports for you to serve

Oh yes, to serve

It's all over, we've all wondered, and now I know, dear sir

Bless you

Remember dear dark soldier a message from the battle jar

I'm giving away you, but now it supports for you to serve

Oh yes, to serve

It's all over, we've all wondered

**[Chorus]**

I said master, I've traveled, this message that I bring

And you're lost cause and they tell themselves

I beg you more, so you get all...

**[Verse 2]**

And now, it supports for you to serve

Come on and serve

**[Chorus]**

I said master, I've traveled, this message that I bring

And you're lost cause and they tell themselves

I beg you more...

**[Bridge]**

Light up the fire, now

Burn, burn, burn!

Put out the fire, fire

It starts now, put out the fire

**[Chorus]**

I said master, I've traveled, this message that I bring

And you're lost cause and they tell themselves

You're the bacteria

I say save us, I said save us

Yeah, I've got two words for you...

Fuck you!

I said save us, I say save all us

I said oh my God, oh my God, oh my God

Why don't you call your God?

"The End Complete V: On the Brink"

Album Art by Ken Kelly.

**"The End Complete V: On the Brink"** is a song by the American rock band Coheed and Cambria. It is the thirteenth and final song on their 2007 album *Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV - Volume Two: No World For Tomorrow*. It is also the fifth and final part of "The End Complete" song suite.

## Lyrics

The worlds have now learned of the worst yet to come

On the brink of an end, a boy learns to run

How you love, or could you, "Mr. Man of the Year"?

Walking tall, with nothing to fear

Don't pass up this chance, oh, go tear down the walls

No Gods will be watching, no one cares enough, at all

These words need now an ending, as they did at the start

But I'll keep on pretending I won't go

Don't cry no more, boy

You've got the other side of your life, so enjoy

I'll move out the front door and take out your trash

But I'll no longer be haunting here, I'm not coming back

The world must know my story

So long, Amory

Please drive me home, one last time

Hail (x57)

## Story Context

**As the official story has not yet been released, anything in this section is speculation, not fact. More so than usual, of course.**

Similar to the last song, there aren't a lot of clues in the lyrics to help us discern what's going on. "Mr. Man of the Year" could refer to either Wilhelm Ryan, who presents himself as the villain of the main series in *Year of the Black Rainbow*, or Sirius Amory, who is presented with an award for his discoveries after exploring the Keywork in *The Afterman* titled "The Amory Award." It seems more likely to be Ryan. The other line of interest is "So long, Amory" which immediately leads people to believe this refers to Sirius Amory, but in canon, Amory is also the name of the street Ryder the Writer lives on in the Real. That alone is very interesting because Ryder is featured on the cover art for the album, but doesn't seem to have any footprints in the lyrics until this one.

## Trivia

* Sanchez played Keyboard, Rami Jaffe played Piano, and Stevie Blacke provided the string arrangements and played Violin, Viola, & Cello.

Live at the Avalon

Unofficial album art.

***Live at the Avalon*** is the third live EP released by Coheed and Cambria. It was recorded during the band's 2005 summer tours.

## Trivia

* It came packaged as a bonus disc with *Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV - Volume One: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness* when purchased at Best Buy stores in the US.
	+ The album art featured here is unofficial as the bonus disk was bundled with the original and therefore, did not really have separate album art. The art used here is for the DVD extra included in the Special Edition.

Long-Arm Bleam

Spoiler Alert!The following page/section contains many spoilers.We recommend checking the corresponding album page to read a spoiler-free version of the plot summary. Please continue at your own risk.

### Relatives

An unnamed father
An unnamed mother
Butchie Bleam (brother)

## Appearances

### Debut

*My Brother's Blood Machine* (2022?)

**Long-Arm Bleam** is one of two sons in The Bleam Family, the other being Butchie. They have as of yet unnamed parents. Their mother told them that God had told her her sons were to be the new Gods of Death and collect souls for Him. They devise the Blood Machine to crush a body and thus release its soul.

## Appearance

Long-Arm is a towering, disfigured man, with a notably long right arm. The elongated crown of his head is bound with a metal contraption that connects to his shoulder and all down his long arm. He seems to be blind in his right eye, and the left side of his mouth seems to be fused together. He seems mostly mute, or relatively quiet. He will often carry his much smaller brother Butchie around on his left shoulder.

## Relationships

### Bleam Parents

> Main article: Bleam Parents

Bleam seems to have a strange, almost impersonal relationship with his parents. Though we know very little about them, this is probably due to their psychosis. It has been described that they are meth addicts and the father may be a priest, though whether that is even legitimate or not is currently unknown. He may be the priest of a cult (one that is family-based), or only tells the children he is a priest. Even though there probably is a priest figure in the story, the Bleam patriarch may not be him at all.

### Butchie Bleam

> Main article: Butchie Bleam

Bleam seems to have the closest relationship with his brother Butchie. It is not known which brother is older, but it seems to be Long-Arm. The two may have a bit of a rivalry as well. Butchie does the majority of talking for them and he lets him ride on his left shoulder.

### Cecilia McCloud

> Main article: Cecilia McCloud

McCloud catches the eye of one or both Bleam brothers and it may be that they fight over her.
Moses Early

## Moses Early

Early at the car dealership in his mechanic uniform.

### Relatives

Glen Early (son)
An unnamed wife, presumably

## Appearances

### Debut

*My Brother's Blood Machine* (2022?)

**Moses Early** is the father of Glen Early. He is the patriarch of the Early Family, a lower or middle-class family that lives in Margretville. He works as a mechanic for Arthur McCloud's car dealership.

## Appearance

Early has a dark afro, dark eyes, and dark skin. He has a modest disposition and kind wrinkles that give away his age and the roughness of his profession.

## Relationships

### Glen Early

> Main article: Glen Early

Early seems to have a good relationship with his son, though very, very little is known about it.

### Cecilia McCloud

> Main article: Cecilia McCloud

Early doesn't seem to have any issue with Cecilia, even though she comes from a family of higher status. In fact, Cecilia insists that he called her simply Cecilia, preferring to not use her surname. Early seems to still keep his distance, given the time period.

### Arthur McCloud

> Main article: Arthur McCloud

Though Early is fine with Cecilia, he has clashed with her father, Arthur McCloud, his employer, as Arthur is not keen on their children being together, and perhaps something more.

## Trivia

* Early is also called a town historian.
* Early's work shirt was available at Evil Ink's booth at NYCC in 2023.

"It Walks Among Us"

The Album Art by Chase Stone.

**"It Walks Among Us"** is a song by the American rock band Coheed and Cambria. It is the thirteenth song on their 2018 album *Vaxis – Act I: The Unheavenly Creatures*.

## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**

A stale side double feature, so bad I couldn't eat ya

Creature, come and get it, creature, come and get it

Creature's coming

Hyperdrive Mona Lisa, I wouldn't wanna be ya

Creature, come and get it, creature, come and get it

Your bright ideas always burn me, oh, you should

Come on and walk among us, come on and walk among us

Bad girls, walk among, come on... walk among us

**[Refrain]**

Oh, honey, there goes your bastard

Oh, honey, there goes your bastard

**[Chorus]**

All I know is if you want it all, my dear

If you want it all my dear, go out and get it

All I know is if you want it all, my dear

If you want it all my dear, go out and get it

**[Verse 2]**

A bad guy, motherfucker, don't want to hate or love you

Creature, come and get it, creature come and get it

Creature's coming

Infected, don't provoke 'em, feel free to cock and load 'em

Creature, come and get it, creature, come and get it

The bright lights here don't concern me *(if you would)*

Come on and walk among us, come on and walk among us

Bad girls, bad, walking, walking, walking

**[Chorus]**

All I know is if you want it all, my dear

If you want it all my dear, go out and get it

All I know is if you want it all, my dear

If you want it all my dear, go out and get it

**[Bridge]**

Can you imagine all I want?

The time we had and all we lost

To be able to share that again

These automatic feelings, I feel your impression, I feel as they return

Oh, the dark has its beauty, a vision blindly bothered to pay you no concern

Oh, the beast within me, it raged before, but I feel it's fell in last

One down, two to go, I fear this stranger will not take me back

**[Refrain]**

Oh, honey, there goes your bastard

Oh, honey, there goes your bastard

*(Creature, come and get it, creature come and get it)*

*(Creature, come and get it, creature come and get it)*

**[Chorus]**

All I know is if you want it all, my dear

If you want it all my dear, go out and get it

All I know is if you want it all, my dear

If you want it all my dear, go out and get it

All I know is if you want it all, my dear

If you want it all my dear, go out and get it

All I know is if you want it all, my dear

If you want it all my dear, go out and get it

## Story Context

This song doesn't seem to have a specific one-to-one in the novella, but it could be describing the moments during and after Nia and Nos defeat Otto Cruger and successfully escape the planet.

## Trivia

* The name of this song is likely taken from the 1956 film, *The Creature Walks Among Us*.

"The End Complete IV: The Road and the Damned"

Album Art by Ken Kelly.

**"The End Complete IV: The Road and the Damned"** is a song by the American rock band Coheed and Cambria. It is the twelfth song on their 2007 album *Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV - Volume Two: No World For Tomorrow*. It is also the fourth part of "The End Complete" song suite.

## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**

I believed, in the world right in front of me

But now, along these empty streets

Where this curse haunts these memories

Of a man and all he's lost

**[Pre-Chorus]**

No time to think about it

No room to breathe

**[Chorus]**

If I had a way back, I'd ride through the dark and the dawn

*(But please don't wait for me)*

Because the man you love don't live, anymore

I can't go home, again

**[Verse 2]**

Tonight, you'll sleep

No fear of what might become of me, my dear

Within these end of days

Where this longing turns this man to prey

On a love that yearns to die

**[Pre-Chorus]**

No time to live and doubt it

Girl, I'm worth the second chance

*(What have I done?)*

No time to think about it

No room to breathe

**[Chorus]**

If I had a way back, I'd ride through the dark and the dawn

*(But please don't wait for me)*

Because the man you love don't live, anymore

I can't go home, again

**[Bridge]**

I believed in the world once in front of me

But now, that's gone

**[Chorus]**

If I had a way back, I'd ride through the dark and the dawn

*(But please don't wait for me)*

Because the man you love don't live, anymore

*(I can't go home, again)*

If I had a way back, I'd ride through the dark and the dawn

*(But please don't wait for me)*

Because the man you love don't live, anymore

I can't go home, again

**[Outro]**

Bye, goodbye

Bye, goodbye

Bye, goodbye

Goodbye

Bye, goodbye

Bye, goodbye

Bye, my dear

## Story Context

**As the official story has not yet been released, anything in this section is speculation, not fact. More so than usual, of course.**

The most obvious choice of speaker is Claudio Kilgannon. It seems to imply that he has either died or undergone a change which leaves him unrecognizable with lines like, "Because the man you love don't live, anymore" and "No fear of what might become of me". This may or may not take place after Heaven's Fence is effectively destroyed in one way or another, but the lyrics do not offer many clues.

## Trivia

* Stevie Blacke provided the string arrangements and played Violin, Viola, & Cello.
* This song was originally written for the *Ghost Rider* soundtrack, but was ultimately rejected. The band decided it could be worked into the story and thus featured on this album.

"Young Love"

Album Art.

**"Young Love"** is a song by the American rock band Coheed and Cambria. It is the seventh track and on their 2015 album *The Color Before the Sun*. A demo version of the song was released on *The Color Before the Sun* (Big Beige / 4th Street Demos) album and on the *The Color Before the Sun*: Deconstructed album.

## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**

4 AM, blank TV screen

Inside voice, the need to scream

The boards they creak, the wood it moans

If these walls could share the things they know

Oh, I had to let you go

Leave you alone, this broken home

**[Chorus]**

You gave us so much

You believed in us and we broke your trust

We made for the coast and in the wrong hands

You were bruised, disposed

Oh, please try and understand

It was young love learning its place

Running away

**[Verse 2]**

Goodnight moon, goodnight Earth

This picture screams a thousand words

This portrait shows an unhappy man

Who did all he could, all he can

**[Chorus]**

You gave us so much

You believed in us and we broke your trust

We made for the coast and in the wrong hands

You were bruised, disposed

Oh, please try and understand

It was young love learning its place

Running away

**[Bridge]**

Running away

Running away

Running away

## Background

Sanchez said, "Young Love is a song about our house. My wife and I left our country home to live in Brooklyn, but we couldn’t bring ourselves to sell it so we decided to rent it out. The house is very important to the Coheed DNA. We wrote *No World For Tomorrow* in it; we wrote *Year of the Black Rainbow* and both *The Afterman* records there, and I’m pretty sure I actually wrote "You Got Spirit, Kid" when we got back to the house as well. But we found out after a year of living in Brooklyn that the people renting out our house weren’t actually in it—they didn’t exist. They were in fact a ghost family, and our house had been turned into a cannabis farm for growing marijuana. So the house we were preparing to move back into with our son had now been destroyed, and we had to pick up the pieces and put the house back together. I wrote this song as sort of an apology to the house, because it was such an important place for me and I left it in the wrong hands. That’s kind of why I approached the music in that sort of washy way. It feels very lonesome, and that’s because we left our house alone with the wrong people. Everything got handled eventually, and we moved back in there for a year or so, but in August we actually moved back to the city because we missed living there. The house is still out there though, and we’ll figure out what we’ll do with it, I’m sure."

Sector 9

**Sector 9** is one of twelve sectors in the space colony known as Heaven's Fence. This sector contains six planets in total though we know none of them. Before the Mage War, the governing mage of this sector was **Grave Minetoter**.

## Brief History

It is not know where Sector 9 exactly resides, just that it is located in the "Western" area of the Fence. During the Mage War against Wilhelm Ryan, Minetoter aligned himself with Covent Marth in the "War of the Western Third" and succeeded in injury Ryan, but ultimately he fled the Fence and seceded his sector to Ryan. Of course, Ryan declared himself "Supreme Tri-Mage" of all the Fence at the conclusion of the war, including this sector. He also pursued Minetoter who was attempting to keep mage practices alive with new blood, and supposedly killed all the "traitors."

## Notable Planets

As mentioned, this sector has a designated capital planet with five follower planets, for a total of six. There are no notable planets.

## Trivia

* **Minetoter** was reported to be dead, but actually was captured and became an Onstantine Priest.

Sector 6

A simple map of The Fence.

**Sector 6** is one of twelve sectors in the space colony known as Heaven's Fence. This sector contains six planets in total including **Morlunus**, though it is not the capital planet. Before the Mage War, the governing mage of this sector was Wilhelm Ryan, appointed upon the death of **Sundihar Jepp**.

## Brief History

It is not know where Sector 6 exactly resides, just that it is NOT located in the "Western" area of the Fence. After Jepp passed away of old age, Ryan was appointed the new governor. Only one mage, Covent Marth, opposed his elevation, but since majority rules, he was elevated anyway. His rule was peaceful for a time. Then, seemingly out of the blue, he took over the neighboring Sector 10 and captured its mage, Rolander Gurash. Calling for a meeting with the other mages, he killed Gurash and started the Mage War. This incident would become known as "The Gurash Example." During the Mage War, Sector 6 was already aligned with Ryan as it was his sector to begin with.

## Notable Planets

As mentioned, this sector has a designated capital planet with five follower planets, for a total of six. We do not know of all of these planets, nor do we know which is the capital planet.

### Morlunus

The fifth planet in Sector 6. It is only notable as the fictional birthplace of Cambria Kilgannon.

## Trivia

* As far as we know, **Sundihar Jepp** simply died of old age.

"Blood"

Album Art by Chase Stone.

**"Blood"** is a song by the American rock band Coheed and Cambria. It is the seventh song on their 2022 album *Vaxis - Act II: A Window of the Waking Mind*.

## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**

Is there anyone in there?

Desired or left to be repaired?

It feels so hard to need

A soul the world may never see

**[Chorus]**

It won't matter to us

If you wake up, my love

If you take my burning hand

Follow me into the fires of the sun

Oh, they fear what they don't know

And they'll be afraid of you for sure

Cause you're my blood

You're my blood

**[Verse 2]**

Your eyes swim beneath

The uncertain of what's normally perceived

Do you know that I'm here?

It's true, the silence bores of a time before

**[Chorus]**

It won't matter to us

If you wake up my love

If you take my burning hand

Follow me into the fires of the sun

Oh, they fear what they don't know

And they'll be afraid of you for sure

Cause you're my blood

You're my blood

**[Bridge]**

Blood...

Oh my god, I think I'm falling...

I...

Blood...

Oh my god, I think I'm falling...

I...

**[Chorus]**

It won't matter to us

If you wake up my love

If you take my burning hand

Follow me into the fire

Oh, they fear what they don't know

And they'll be afraid of you, for sure

Cause you're my blood

You're my blood

Boy, you're my blood

## Story Context

The events of this song take place in Chapter 5. This is pretty straightforwardly Nostrand talking to his son, Vaxis. The first verse is how Nostrand feels as he looks at his son. He *wants* to believe Vaxis is in there, but he sometimes can't help but wonder anyway. And he feels frustration and helplessness in the this unknown. In the chorus, we hear what he says out loud and to Vaxis: If you wake up, we're going to stand by you, but if you never do, we'll stay by your side anyway. And to not feel bad about being different because Nos himself is also different. The second verse goes back to the quite part, the internal struggle: Nos can see Vaxis' eyes moving as if he's dreaming, but he wonders if he actually is. And again, wonders if Vaxis can perceive him at all as he sits right next to him.

## Background

Overall, the song was about feeling misunderstood; both Sanchez and potentially his son. Sanchez said he wrote "Atlas" in anticipation of his son's birth, but this song was more for him directly; if his son feels like him, he wants him to know he was never alone.

## Trivia

* This track was one of the few tracks that were written during *Vaxis I*'s release.
