A broad incision sits across the evening
A 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
Sincerely written from my brother's blood machine
Man your own battle station
We'll have you home pretty soon
Awake through motion with curiosity to curtain your first move
Over arm's 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 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
Sincerely written from my brother's blood machine
Man your own battle station
We'll have you home pretty soon
For you
I'd do anything
Just to make you happy
Hear you tell me that you're proud of me
For them
I'll kill anything
Cut the throats of babies for them
Break their 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
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
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
Tonight
A 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
Sincerely written from my brother's blood machine
Man your own battle station
We'll have you home pretty soon
Awake through motion with curiosity to curtain your first move
Over arm's 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 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
Sincerely written from my brother's blood machine
Man your own battle station
We'll have you home pretty soon
For you
I'd do anything
Just to make you happy
Hear you tell me that you're proud of me
For them
I'll kill anything
Cut the throats of babies for them
Break their 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

And why, oh why?

Coming home
In the seventh turning hour
Will the victims shadow fall?
Should the irony grow hungry?

We were one among the Fence
One among the Fence
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
Tonight

1) This song is about the first exchange (battle) between Jesse (leader of the resistance) and Mayo (a general for the Red Army, the bad guys).
2) Jackhammers are ships that Mayo's forces use. I'm pretty sure "Man your own jackhammer" is spoken from Mayo's point of view, and "Man your battlestations" is spoken from Jesse's point of view. That would be why claudio's voice is darker and scarier when he says "man your own jackhammer" as opposed to when he says "man your battlestations."
The "For you, I'd do anything" stanza is Sizer's point of view, because all he wants is Jesse's affection, but Jesse just sees him, Chase, and the other IRO-bots as tools.
The rest should be pretty self explanatory, with most of it from Jesse's point of view from directing the battle and encouraging his troops.
Otherwise, you're completely correct. :D
Inferno, being Leonard Hoenberger's clone, took the plans for creating IRO-bots and created a group of them, to use as living bio weapons. This was the purpose of IRO-bots given to Hoenberger from the Prise.
Sizor, a direct recreation of Coheed's "Beast" archetype. Offers himself up in exchange for Chase (a recreation of Cambria's Knowledge archetype).
Partially due to love of her and, a desire to prove himself to his "father" Jesse and gain his affection.
Jackhammers are cannons.
The "children" are Jessie's IRO-bots.
The "broad incision" is a literal hole in the sky, where the keywork's beam was.
Dumbass.
If you don't like a band don't bad mouth them for no apparent reason, it is both childish and incredibly stupid.
Do you think your opinion will matter in the slightest to a fan of a band?
The Short answer is : NO!
The Long answer is: if all your opinions are so stupid and unbalanced I doubt that even your parents care what you say, unless they are as god damn stupid as you are.
Take it or leave it.
It's just an opinion.
Alright, first off, I feel it's primarily from Claudio's view, seeing as he is the only one of the children apparently left alive at the time...and it could be directed at either Newo (his lover) or Coheed and Cambria, his "parents".
It seems to me that he's begging, pleading and almost even willing to fight for a sort of recognition...and acknowledgement..a compliment from either of the two parties mentioned.
He's saying up-front that he will do anything, even kill, just to hear them say their proud of him or tell him that they love him.
He wants to show them the respect they deserve, and show that he's the only one left who remembers them.
(IE: "children sit and mourn the graves of those they've never seen before")
And he wants to -in a way- avenge them and is prepared to do whatever necessary.
But should he fail, he's pleading for a place amongst them in death.

This song is done from two different perspectives: Jesse, The Inferno, and Sizer, his IRO-bot son.
This song is basically Jesse preparing for battle against Wilhem Ryan's righthand man and war guy (for lack of a better term) Mayo Deftinwolf. Jesse and his 4 IRO-bot children, known as the pioneers, are getting ready for the battle and are using weapons known as jackhammers, which Jesse created. The children are Sizer, "...her favorite...", Chase, "...the one they call the vision who bares the gift..." She has the mind of a 20 year-old woman, but is trapped in the body of a 4 year-old girl. She is the only character who can comminucate with the writer. She is also the strongest of all of the pioneers. The other children are Michael, "...the pilot..." named after Michael Todd of the band, and Travis, "...the navigator..." named after Travis Stever of the band.
So, now with all these knowledge, Chase is clearly Jesse's favorite, being the strongest fighter and the least likely to be suspected, due to her weak and innocent appearance. Sizer, however, being a deformed IRO-bot, is extremely jealous of Chase's relationship with Jesse, "...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..."
All he wants is to be loved and respected by his father. After 7 hours of preparing, the Red Army is finally approaching in the distant, and the battle will soon begin...!
A good description of the best song ever, I feel.
