Cover art for The Black Rainbow lyrics by Coheed and Cambria

didn't read all the comments because there were so many but i don't understand how people can be so misinformed and state things as facts. This is absolutely a "prequel" album. Buy the book! its a prequel too lol. This song is about the black rainbow (see title) its the way the citizens of the fence felt based on the appearance of the black rainbow. Nothing to do with the writer or erica court. He wasn't even part of the story here. Claudio wrote in the writer as the only way to deal with his emotions at the time of GA:I because forcing that stuff into the actual story line would've been lame. Also the lyrics you ahve up there are really off "we were stealing your heart" is the actual lyrics I also believe at some points it says "its over little boy" but Im not sure if that was in the liner notes (thoug they are often different when the album comes out anyway with coheed) I may be entirely wrong about that last bit but the rest is pretty much common knowledge on cobaltandcalcium.com and the fact that is a prequel is, well, silly to contest because you obviosuly dind't read the novel or listen to anything claudio said since the release of NWFT
