this song, along with the next one, is part of a dreamy vision in which Claudio is home with Newo and Apollo, her dog, after everything happens and is telling her the story of what heppend in the past (which at this point in the timeline is the present). it may sound confusing, but it is a dreamy kind of vision thing, so when you hear the phone/comlink ring in track one and Newo Ikkin answers the phone, the ship sound is Claudio (one of Coheed and Cambria's four children) returning to her in the future and when he gets there he says hello to the the dog, and turns to Newo and says "where should i begin?" anyway, this part of the vision is trough Jesse's eyes (Coheed's brother) as he prepares to defend Coheed and Cambria's other three children, Maria, Mathew, and Josephine, who are locked in a hiding space in the floor, from an attacking army who wishes to kill Coheeds children cause they may have inherited some of his powers and could still save the universe. Jesse is a little jealous of this because he wants to be the hero. Mathew, the youngest, has some of Coheed's power (thats what that line is about). The "vision that bears the gift" is Claudio. Will is Coheed's real name. when he says the line "for you, i'd do anything,.." he is talking to Coheed. the line "for them i would kill anything.." is still to Coheed, talking about Coheed's children. the chorus is directed to the small army that Jesse has with him "man your battlestations, we'll have you home/dead pretty soon" he knows they are not likely to survive thisattack. (a quick tidbit about claudio, anytime he writes about "coming home" or "going to sleep" its almost always referring to death). the "seventh turning hour" line expresses Jesse's doubts about the upcoming battle and his ability to protect the troops and the children. great song. the actual attack comes in the next song where Jesse gets to be the hero he wanted to be.
There is much debate about this track such as, “how could Claudio be calling Newo and then greet Apollo in person?” The answer is this, he is pulling the call and hang-up when they answer routine with Newo. This final time he hangs up he is right outside of her home, where he runs into Apollo. This entire album is the story Claudio is telling Apollo while sitting in Newo’s backyard.
