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 nonbelievers,
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 e plain 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
(oh woah oh)
Disappointed faces
of your peers
(oh woah 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 wanna play this part
I won't e plain,
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
I'm 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,
we'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'll carry on)
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'll carry on!)
we wanna play this part.
