To the people questioning: The protagonists are IRO-bots. The same thing that Coheed, Cambria, Jesse, Sizer, Chase.. (I know I'm missing one) are. Indirectly, it is about the music, the story behind the music.
I was an extra in this, and when i was there, it was in Victorville CA. It was really hot, but it was probably windy up on the hills at night. I was around when they were filming at the school.
Since I had no idea what this band sounded like, I automatically thought it was that chick 'singing' and they were part of her band. I saw this on tv a few nights ago. I was shocked, but it's a good song and I really like the video. So, I guess I'm not taken back by his voice so much anymore!
the point to this video is becoming human. perhaps a test of fitting in while still being yourself. claud says he wrote this one about how the media (and other people) were up in there business all the time. particularly, i'm guessing it's because of how josh n mic were fighting their battles n claud was really at a stand still with writing this album. much love, respect, n support for cnc. cnc4life!!
Coheed and Cambria is easily my absolute favourite band ever, and aside from the brilliance of the music, what makes them absolutely incredible is how Claudio seamlessly integrates the Amory Wars story into the music while still allowing for personal interpretation. In my opinion, if you are just listening to the music and not knowing at least some of the story, you are missing out because the story is immense and AMAZING. I have always felt out of all things C&C produces, they miss a huge opportunity to tell the Amory Wars story consistently through their videos, which I think would be a great way to tie it all together. This video is probably the closest to actually acting some part of the Amory Wars (Here We Are Juggernaut and loosely Domino the Destitute too) if we can interpret the three characters as KBI; Coheed, Cambria and Jesse, which I think makes a lot of sense if that is their intention (though not sure why the names in the vid are different). Despite the kinda poor acting, I really wish more of their videos were as story based, cause I think more fans should know about the meaning of the songs, and the incredible stories (and spin offs) that make up the Amory Wars.
+Burning Star V Eh, sort of, but not nearly as good as other videos. All you get is a few shots between the "evil" writer and Erica. The rest was showing off the band.
@LittleSerboLamb Coheed and cambria are the names of the main characters of a comic book series called the amory wars that the lead singer (claudio) is writing. all their songs are built around the story of the comics.
xD I've been waiting for this FOREVER! I was there during some of the filming [Got to watch them film a scene. I'm telling you that one "android's" laugh is CONTAGIOUS]. Everyone was so nice and the storyline and song are AMAZING!!!
Wow, that is a thought inspiring video (I have watched it several times before and am a huge Coheed fan), it really speaks to how people view "others" which is what is wrong with the world right now.
OMG!! I was watching this cuz i love coheed and cambria and i freaked out i thought i was going crazy wen i saw my skool! haha this video was shot in Victorville ca and the skool they show is Victor Valley High School:) my skool:)
I understand where you're coming from because I went without reading them for an insanely long time, but you've got to. As a CoCa fan you need to see where the tale came from.
@zinny42 the K-B-I are one in themselves, only 3 of them...and yes....this is coheed, cambria, and jesse= the K-B-I....oh, little do they know whats in store for them!
Wish every music video was like this. Would've made the comics and the visual novels and all pay off. Instead, I'm a fan sitting here like "This will be amazing, this will be great, just you wait and see". Is never going to happen. Still love the music though.
If Claudio shows up I’m dead. Didn’t butt it’s okay. We’re all Burning. Some are just okay with it, no matter the color. Your dream is mine - and I’m so happy for you. Well all Laugh Tale with all the "Pirates" they can’t stop running about.
Wow. I'm amazed that anyone remembers the books title. It's all set just a little while back. Now I'm going to have to watch Blade runner for the 86 time.
@lobstershop remember that a lot of the songs from second stage were written as shabutie, which is what Coheed called themselves previous to implementing the concept. It could have originally been written without the concept in mind, then kind of bent and twisted into the the concept (follow?). I hear Thirty Three was originally about Patrick Ewing (perhaps a rumor). Interesting that the demo track on YotBR is titled Chamberlain.
This video seriously made me feel sick. Like I assumed something bad would happen to him, and I know it's probably meant to be sad and depressing, but it made me feel sick to the point that I wish I didn't see this video at all D:
Well think of it like this. Jesse is reincarnated and narrates Prize Fighter Inferno. Maybe it IS The Beast, The Knowledge, and The Inferno in their reincarnated youth.
@jaykuk i admit i am stretching a bit, the video is probably just a the concept of the Iro-bots (i always forget how to spell that properly) mixed into a world that doesn't understand them. it's a cool nod to those of us who read the book, and the comics. You're probably right about Dr. Sirius Amory being the next concept. after all the saga is called "The Amory Wars" but there is little clue as to why.
i thought it had the lyrics but just had the chorus =( but the video was really REALLY worth it =) if i aint know better i'd say to actually consider making this a movie cuz it would really be a success!
@OneShotGunner they have to start somwhere..!!! i personally started listing to coheed back from the first album..and when they were playing in poughkeepsie ny.. but everyone has to start at a point.. its only better for coheed.
I think this video is kind of like: "What if" three iro-bots we're released into the world to test their ability to cope. Jesse, Coheed and Cambria we're only this young for a short period due to their growth curve (if you've read the book) and the song world of lines is at least in part about Hohenberger deciding to fight back against Ryan, I believe. Speculation speculation speculation. Ive never figured it all out for myself.
By that logic the Juggernaut video is unrelated to the story too. That video and World of Lines look like they take place on our Earth in our universe. So it's like we're the parallel universe to Heaven's Fence. All Larentiah was asking is which characters in this video are analogous to the three main IRO-BOTs in the story. My reasoning was that Jesse was the calm one and Coheed was a little more impetuous, especially in YOTBR.
@pieisgood235 to me it express life as a teenager in modern life now adays. i mean its beeing casted out for being different and thats wats its like as a teenager.
To the people questioning: The protagonists are IRO-bots. The same thing that Coheed, Cambria, Jesse, Sizer, Chase.. (I know I'm missing one) are. Indirectly, it is about the music, the story behind the music.
You were talking about Joesphine but the other IRO-bots are Hack, Many, and Longcindia, though it's implied Jesse made more.
I was an extra in this, and when i was there, it was in Victorville CA. It was really hot, but it was probably windy up on the hills at night. I was around when they were filming at the school.
just watched this again after a long time, still makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. That my friends, is art.
Fret not, for IRO-Bot can never die.
what are you on about?
Damn, this should be a full-length story. Don't worry though - IRO-bots can never die.
The last minute of this literally almost made me cry.
Since I had no idea what this band sounded like, I automatically thought it was that chick 'singing' and they were part of her band. I saw this on tv a few nights ago. I was shocked, but it's a good song and I really like the video. So, I guess I'm not taken back by his voice so much anymore!
Love this song and video, this deserve so many more views!

+Kait Martin Do you or anyone else know if you can get the digital comics anywhere? i would love to read them, but i would prefer the digital copies.
same.
you just nailed how I think about that subject... they leave it open for the facets of everything about it...
Kait Martin same
@LittleSerboLamb Coheed and cambria are the names of the main characters of a comic book series called the amory wars that the lead singer (claudio) is writing. all their songs are built around the story of the comics.
who ever programmed them kids, forgot the "kick ass" mode
Still crazy to think this was filmed in my home town
I've always considered this video a prequel to "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?"
This is obviously why we can't ever have anything nice.
I love this video! Amazing! Sever the limbs off his torso in sleep... IRO-Bot will never die! :-)
Still can’t believe this video was shot in my shithole of a town
This is absolutely AMAZING. IRO-bot will NEVER die
Slowly discarded were the remains of his lonely youth!
@atmycomputer1 Glad to see someone else who was interested before "Welcome Home." It's hard out here for a Co&Ca fan...
I heart coheed.
I thought he was being cut, not butchered. Human or machine, how is someone ever going to be that deliberate with a switchblade?
+OMGitsDSypl you'd think you'd need at least a saw
One of my favorite music videos ever!
Damn... this makes way more sense than the cut-down version I saw On Demand.
xD I've been waiting for this FOREVER! I was there during some of the filming [Got to watch them film a scene. I'm telling you that one "android's" laugh is CONTAGIOUS]. Everyone was so nice and the storyline and song are AMAZING!!!
Wow, that is a thought inspiring video (I have watched it several times before and am a huge Coheed fan), it really speaks to how people view "others" which is what is wrong with the world right now.
OMG!!! That was AMAZING!!! I loved it!!!!
Happy 10th Anniversary to Year of the Black Rainbow, one of the best Coheed albums ever written!
dude sweet movie
This would be a good movie
@ Coheed & Cambria
🎶 World Of Lines
💿 Year Of The Black Rainbow
📅 2010
🎬︎ Lex Halaby
best coheed and cambria song ever
Iro-Bot will never die.....
At first I thought this was the k.b.i. but now after watching it I think it may be The navigator, the pilot, and her favorite......anyone agree??
OMG!! I was watching this cuz i love coheed and cambria and i freaked out i thought i was going crazy wen i saw my skool! haha this video was shot in Victorville ca and the skool they show is Victor Valley High School:) my skool:)
IRO-Bot wil never die!!!
IRO-BOT will never die
I didnt know this video existed. Its awesome!
this is better than words
Been with coheed since second stage (:
my brother made me listen to coheed when i was a kid the first songs were in keeping secrets and d trigger
This was my favorite song of this album
Guys its time to leave those not among the fence alone, don't antagonize them
I understand where you're coming from because I went without reading them for an insanely long time, but you've got to. As a CoCa fan you need to see where the tale came from.
It still gives me goosebumps. Love this shit.
As always delivering the feels.
i love the meaning of this song
just the thought that we all look like that on the inside just makes you feel unhuman O.o
@zinny42 the K-B-I are one in themselves, only 3 of them...and yes....this is coheed, cambria, and jesse= the K-B-I....oh, little do they know whats in store for them!

Instead, I'm a fan sitting here like "This will be amazing, this will be great, just you wait and see".
Is never going to happen.
Still love the music though.
i wish i had friends that i could hang with whenever. i have "friends" but they're not really friends...
If Claudio shows up I’m dead.
Didn’t butt it’s okay. We’re all Burning. Some are just okay with it, no matter the color.
Your dream is mine - and I’m so happy for you. Well all Laugh Tale with all the "Pirates" they can’t stop running about.
I love their videos.
this video makes alot more sense if u pay attention to wats actually happening
Never will I understand how Miley Cyrus can reach 150 million hits on 1 video and the greatest band alive has 130K hits.
That's my town! Thats My SCHOOL! :D I knew somebody loved Victorville! hahaha
Haha Oh my gosh! This is at Victor Valley High School. Class of 2010!!! WOOHOO!!!
@OneShotGunner I will admit welcome home is what dragged me in but there other songs kickass too
Wow. I'm amazed that anyone remembers the books title. It's all set just a little while back. Now I'm going to have to watch Blade runner for the 86 time.
i wanna spark too .......spark up a joint that is!
I want Second Stage back.
@lobstershop remember that a lot of the songs from second stage were written as shabutie, which is what Coheed called themselves previous to implementing the concept. It could have originally been written without the concept in mind, then kind of bent and twisted into the the concept (follow?).
I hear Thirty Three was originally about Patrick Ewing (perhaps a rumor). Interesting that the demo track on YotBR is titled Chamberlain.
An Amory Wars movie should be some sort of rock opera. That would be epic.
dude that was great, i suggest you do more :D
This video seriously made me feel sick. Like I assumed something bad would happen to him, and I know it's probably meant to be sad and depressing, but it made me feel sick to the point that I wish I didn't see this video at all D:
becoming human ties into the idea that the guys had alot of growing up to do while still remaining themselves.
Well think of it like this. Jesse is reincarnated and narrates Prize Fighter Inferno. Maybe it IS The Beast, The Knowledge, and The Inferno in their reincarnated youth.

I LOVE THIS VIDEO IT WAS AMAZING AND I LOVE THE BAND I CRIED AT THE END OF THE MUSIC VIDEO IT WAS SO SAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The knowledge the beast and the inferno
Lol@All the people with no attention spans who can't appreciate how fucking awesome this video is.
Love, love, love. World of Lines?
WORLD OF -- FUCK MY MIND HAS BEEN BLOWN.
@Shabutie97 The line is actually given to the listener so that we can give it our own meaning, so there you are ^_^
I'm in this!!! :D This was so cool to see being shot and be a part of. It was fucking hot as shit though
This is close to No world for tomorrow #4 comic. These kids are from amory high. A timeline that chase and claudio use the well to get to.
i thought it had the lyrics but just had the chorus =( but the video was really REALLY worth it =) if i aint know better i'd say to actually consider making this a movie cuz it would really be a success!
@abbybear10 because your blown away by the awesomeness
i love to shock myself it feels so good
@fightnight217 Wikipedia "the amory wars" it the comic series that the lead singer writes to go along with the music
@sageszero love that movie and book.
@OneShotGunner they have to start somwhere..!!! i personally started listing to coheed back from the first album..and when they were playing in poughkeepsie ny.. but everyone has to start at a point.. its only better for coheed.
one word: EPIC!
this will mack a good movie and i want 2 b in it
They are unrelated to the main story. The main guy whom gets cut ups name is Brav. They say it while trying to get him to wake up.
This was epic. It took me a while to realize that they were robots, though.
crazy yo.
Coheed and Jesse and Cambria. They are the parents and uncle of Claudio, etc.
Lilah Richcreek is soo pretty.
What the fuck? Who made this M Night Shyamalan?
+Geo Grey Yea I'm glad that Coheed doesn't let him direct their videos anymore
Ahh the oxford comma. The difference between asking M Night Shyamalan who made this, and asking if M Night Shyamalan made this.
sometimes.... it's all we have left... so don't be a dick about it.
Funny thing is, it was not an "oxford comma" but a normal comma that was missing.
This fits right in with the story of Coheed and Cambria
I just noticed....I live in this town.
I think this video is kind of like: "What if" three iro-bots we're released into the world to test their ability to cope. Jesse, Coheed and Cambria we're only this young for a short period due to their growth curve (if you've read the book) and the song world of lines is at least in part about Hohenberger deciding to fight back against Ryan, I believe.
Speculation speculation speculation. Ive never figured it all out for myself.
That was pretty awesome.
hahahahaha i live 2 seconds awaay from that highschool hahaha
By that logic the Juggernaut video is unrelated to the story too. That video and World of Lines look like they take place on our Earth in our universe. So it's like we're the parallel universe to Heaven's Fence. All Larentiah was asking is which characters in this video are analogous to the three main IRO-BOTs in the story.

Excellent Video
"Hey bro pass the lamp, lemme get a hit of that"
Lets "spark" up :D
@pieisgood235 to me it express life as a teenager in modern life now adays. i mean its beeing casted out for being different and thats wats its like as a teenager.
Tyler Shamy!!!
this video almost made me cry. totally something that would happen. mabey. idk. still sad.
