Proofs of God’s - Ten Speed (Of God’s Blood and Burial)

“Ten Speed (Of God’s Blood and Burial)” is a song by progressive rock band Coheed and Cambria from their 2005 album Good Apollo, I’m Burning Star IV, Volume One: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness. It is the third single from the album. The band requested that fans come to Los Angeles to appear in the video, which was released summer 2006, in Europe.

In the Good Apollo graphic novel, Ten Speed is the manifestation of the Writing Writer’s evil thoughts in the form of a bicycle. Ten Speed tries to convince the Writer to kill off a character named Ambellina. Ambellina is a Prise who is sent to watch over the story’s main character, Claudio Kilgannon. The Writer discovers that Ambellina is based off of his own cheating ex-girlfirend, Miss Erica Court, and to get over her, he must kill off the Ambellina character. The following dialogue from the comic book can be heard verbatim in the song.

Ten Speed: So are you gonna kill her off?
Writer: No, I love the character. She stays.
Ten Speed: Love is what got you in this position. I say kill her off!
Writer: You say a lot of things. And how’s that work? You’re a bicycle.
