My Chemical Romance — Welcome to the Black Parade lyrics

Lyrics

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»
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 And while 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 out loud and clear
Do you fight it 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
You’re weary widow marches
On and on we carry through the fears
Disappointed faces of your peers
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
Though you try, you’ll never break me We want it all, we wanna play this part
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 only
I’m just a man, I’m not a hero
Just a boy who wanna sing his song
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
You’re weary widow marches on Do or die, you’ll never make me Because the world will never take my heart
Though you try, you’ll never break me We want it all, we wanna play this part
(We'll carry on)
Do or die, you’ll never make me Because the world will never take my heart
Though you try, you’ll never break me We want it all, we wanna play this part
(We'll carry on)
