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 d**ned
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
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
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
Ooh oh ohhhh
Disappointed faces of your peers
Ooh oh ohhhh
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 wanna 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 you're
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 wanna play this part
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 wanna play this part
We'll carry on
