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 saviour 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. 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 we will send you reeling from decimated dreams Your misery and hate will kill us all. So paint it black and take it back Lets shout it loud and clear Defiant to the end We hear the call
To carry on We'll carry on 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 You can try, you'll never break me You want it all, you wanna play this part Won't explain or say I'm sorry I'm not ashamed, I'm gonna show my scar Give a cheer, for all the broken Listen here, because it's only you I'm just a man, I'm not a hero I'm just a boy, who's meant 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 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 We'll carry on We'll carry on We'll carry on We'll carry We'll carry on (Do or die, you'll never make me Because the world, will never take my heart You can try, you'll never break me You want it all, you wanna play this part)
