The Black Parade Is Deadd Lyrics | My Chemical Romance

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 damn
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 damn
Sometimes I get the feeling she's watching over me
And other times I feel like I should go
Went 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 out 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
Over the 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
You want it all
You 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
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
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
You want it all''
We'll carry on
''You want to play this part
Do or die''
We'll carry on
''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
You want it all''
We'll carry...
''You want to play this part''
...on.
