From what I can gather, the song is a direct reference to the book Year of the Black Rainbow.
Keep your secrets in the dark
Coheed and Cambria are wandering through a mine, of sorts, trying to remain undiscovered.
Nothing matters anymore
Their objective is to find out what the miners are doing to the Keywork. Besides that, nothing else matters.
Bodies breaking, drives me crazy
When discovered, they get attacked by these miners. Coheed starts obliterating them with his bionic arm. The more he kills, the more enraged he becomes.
This is not your place, no this is not your playground, it's my heart
The miners are tampering with the Keywork, playing with it. Trying to manipulate it in their favour. The Keyowrk is "not their place" but instead, is everybody else's heart
We were stupid, we got caught
They were discovered
Nothing matters anymore, so what
They were found out, but they no longer care as they have found the source of the problem
Here we are, Juggernaut
The Keywork is the Juggernaut. The almighty force. Coheed is simply greeting it.
Hey ive been a huge fan of coheed and cambria for a long time and i just finished reading the year of the black rainbow novel, so im gonna take a crack at solving the riddle of this song lol.

first, the novel and the book do not match up chronologically. the album was arranged, i can only assume, in a way that it musically pleasing for the listener. the story isnt as chronological as the book, so read the book if you wanna learn the story straight from the claudios mouth!

(Leonard and Pearl Hohenberger lost their son joseph...
(Leonard and Pearl Hohenberger lost their son joseph in the crossfire of a battle between Wihelm Ryan and Covent Marths armies. Grieving for their son, they became bitter and distance, and pearl blamed leonard for their son's death. so Leonard decided somthing needed to be done, and much like the story of christ when an angel came to mary, a member of the prize called Paranioa came to leonard with a spark of inspiration. i will not discuss this in detail because you should read the book yourself.)
Keep your secrets in the dark,
Nothing matters any more.
Body's breaking, drive me crazy
This is not your place
No, this is not your playground, it's my heart.
(This line is Leonard Hohenberger thinking to himself, reminding himself to keep the secrets of the KBI project in the dark from Ryans forces. Nothing matters to him at all, not even life itself because he must avenge his sons death, to reconcile with his wife for letting him go. Bodies breaking could mean that his physical body is breaking under the stress, or memories of people dying in battle, or memories of his son and his sons friends being cut down in the fight. either way people are suffering. This is not your place to me is hohenberger exclaiming to ryan in his own mind that this is not your place to rule. It is not his place to turn his family and loved ones against him, its not his playground it is leonards life, and his emotions and everyone including his wife has been toying with them.)
We were stupid, we got caught
But nothing matters anymore, so what?
Here we are juggernaut
(Plain and simple, ryan caught leonard and sent mayo deftinwolf to collect coheed and cambria. they are weapons used against ryan and they must be brought to ryan's control. Juggernaut im pretty sure is a nickname for mayo deftinwolf because, well the description of him in the book is very juggernaut-y. in other words "Here we are juggernaut, you caught us. game over"
Courage broken, lashed to scars
Can this love be what I want?
Body's breaking, driving me crazy, it's your fault.
(Mayo captured Pearl and placed her in a glass coffin to suffer insanity until leonard delivered what ryan wanted. Leonard is devestated at this news and decides to give in to what ryan wants, even though his demands are unspeakably horrible (youl discover this in your reading of the book). can he be willing to do these horrible things to bring back the love of his life? is that what he really wants? "bodies breaking driving me crazy, its your fault" is clearly Pearl thinking to herself as her physical body and her mental fortitude are deteriorating in her glass coffin. At first she is strong willed againts ryan for the death of her son. but as ryan twists and winds his way into he mind, she loses the will and blames her husband for her misfortune saying "its all your fault leonard, you should be here instead of me."
We were stupid, we got caught
But nothing matters anymore, so what?
Here we are juggernaut
Hang us a hangman, we'll bury our burdens in blood.
Oh, so hang us a hangman, we'll bury our burdens in blood.
(Leonard, Coheed, Cambria, and Inferno all have a "heart to heart" about what must be done to save Pearl. They come to the ultimate conclusion that blood will be spilled. The hangman is Wilhelm Ryan.
Become stronger juggernaut.
(now this line confused me. If mayo is the juggernaut then it doesnt make sense for Leonard to will him to be stronger. In the book, the solution to the problem is that Leonard takes out coheed and cambrias hearts and replaces their blood with a powerful virus. This line may be describing making coheed stronger by introducing this virus. If anyone has thoughts on this please let me know :)
Answer me (did we take this too far?)
You've given all I could need (did we take this too far?)
Oh, but your kiss won't leave me be (did we take this too far?)
Cause your teeth just won't stop chewing out my heart.
(Did they go too far by building the KBI in defiance of ryan, but the love leonard has for his wife is too powerful and his guilt for letting his son go, and the blame from his wife chews at his heart daily.)
We were stupid, we got caught
But nothing matters anymore, so what?
Here we are juggernaut
Here we are juggernaut
Here we are juggernaut
so yeah thats my interpretation. discussion welcome.
I think Purple Superman nailed and the main realson why I think so is that in that chapter where they are in the mine Cohhed actually says "Here we are, Juggernaut!"
