The Light & the Glass is the eleventh song of Coheed and Cambria's 2003 album In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3 After the song proper finishes, a melody is played. This melody closes with a recurring piece of music previously heard in The Hollow, The Broken, Everything Evil, God Send Conspirator, and The Ring in Return. It will be heard once more in the saga on the track Keeping the Blade. As with most interludes of this nature, it is believed by fans to represent the passing of time, or a change in scene.
