Welcome To The Black Parade

 

When I was a young boy
My father took me into the city
To see a marching band
He said, "Son when you grow up

Would you be the savior of the broken 

The beaten and the damned?"
 

He said, "Will you

Defeat them

Your demons

And all the non-believers

The plans that they have made?"

 

"Because one day

I'll leave you

A phantom

To lead you in the summer

To join the black parade"

When I was a young boy
My father

Took me into the city
To see a marching band
He said, "Son when you grow up

Would you be

The savior of the broken

The beaten and the damned?"

Sometimes I get the feeling

She's watching over me
And other times I feel like I should go
 

And through it all

The rise and fall
The bodies in the streets
And when you're gone we want you all to know -

We'll carry on

We'll carry on
And though you're dead and gone believe me
Your memory will carry on
We'll carry on
 

And in my heart I can't contain it
The anthem won't explain it

A world that sends you reeling

From decimated dreams
Your misery and hate will kill us all
 

So paint it black

And take it back
And let's shout it loud and clear
Defiant to the end we hear the call

 

To carry on

We'll carry on
And though you're dead and gone believe me
Your memory will carry on
We'll carry on
And though you're broken and defeated
Your weary widow marches

 

On and on we carry through the fears
Oh oh oh
Disappointed faces of your peers
Oh oh oh
Take a look at me

'Cause I could not care at

All

Do or die
You’ll never make me
Because the world

Will never take my heart
Go and try

You’ll never break me
We want it all

We want to play this part
 

I won’t explain

Or say I’m sorry
I’m unashamed

I’m gonna show my scar
Give a cheer

For all the broken
Listen here

Because it’s who we are
 

I'm just a man

I'm not a hero
Just a boy

Who had to sing this song
I'm just a man

I'm not a hero
I
Don't
Care!

We'll carry on
We'll carry on
And though you're dead and gone believe me
Your memory will carry on
You'll carry on
And though your broken and defeated
Your weary widow marches on
 

Do or die
You’ll never make me
Because the world

Will never take my heart
Go and try

You’ll never break me
We want it all

(We'll carry on)

We want to play this part
 

Do or die
You’ll never make me
Because the world

(We'll carry on)

Will never take my heart
Go and try

(We'll carry on)

You’ll never break me
We want it all

(We'll carry on)

We want to play this part
