Now have we seen this light for the last time They're turning back the clock and we won't survive On just hope this time They slowly break us down from the inside And force a way of life we don't recognise And free will has died We take our breath for the last time We'll give it one more cry before they burn a hole In our hearts again
We saw it coming, this Black Parade when will it end Oh you and I both know, this Black Parade on fear depends We can fight it but we can't pretend
khaste nasho, parvaz kon (don't get tired, fly) ey khaste mooned too ghafas (Hey, the tired one in the cage) Parvaz kon ta ke manam ba to ham avaz ham nafas (Fly until I sing and breathe with you)
The turbans reign supreme over virtue You cannot lift your veil or speak the truth They promise nothing but keep that bar held high for you
We saw it coming, this Black Parade will forge ahead Oh you and I both know, this Black Parade The demon's edge We will fight it with our dying breath
And now they've pumped the masses full of rage We're going to light some fires We're going to burn the stage The lightning is coming, the marchers will fall Fall
khaste nasho, khaste nasho, sokooteto faryad kon (Don't get tired, don't get tired, shout loud your silence) ta mano dari, khodeto az in ghafas azad kon (Until you've got me, free yourself from this cage)
We saw it coming, this Black Parade will meet its end Oh you and I both know, this Black Parade, it's good as dead We will fight until the streets turn red This Black Parade will meet its end Oh you and I both know, this Black Parade, it's good as dead We will fight until the streets turn red
faryad kon (shout) parvaz kon (fly) We will fight until the streets turn red
