There are differing theories about the story of Coheed and Cambria, but from the lyrics it seems that Coheed and Cambria are a married couple living on Earth in the distant future.
The story is centered around a vast structure called the Keywork, which somehow binds the planets and stars together. For some reason, part of the Keywork comes loose, threatening a cataclysmic disaster for the universe. Coheed, who seems to be some kind of general, is sent to a planet called Apollo to repair the damage. Apparently, Coheed is the only person capable of doing this.
Unfortunately, someone has injected a serum into Coheed's body that, once activated, will cause all kinds of psychological problems. The serum is activated on the voyage to Apollo and Coheed experiences all kinds of internal conflict and he turns away from his mission.
Meanwhile, a huge war has broken out on Earth. The war may or may not be related to the Keywork's problems, but either way things aren't looking too good. Claudio, Coheed's son, tells the story of his love for Chase, and his defection from the army to be with her. Claudio then boards a spacecraft called the Velorium Camper, which is piloted by a psychotic killer named Al. No one knows what happens after that.
The band is fronted by Claudio Sanchez. Sanchez is responsible for the story. He plans to release graphic novels explaining the story more thoroughly sometime in the near future.
