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 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. 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 your dead and gone believe me Your memory will carry on Carry on We'll carry on And in my heart I cant contain it The anthem wont explain it.
A world that sends you reeling from decimated dreams You're 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 We hear the call To carry on We'll carry on And though your 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 Cause the world, will never take my heart Go and try, you'll never break me We want it all, We want to play this part I wont explain or say i'm sorry I'm not ashamed, I'm gonna show my scar You're the chair, for all the broken Listen here, because it's who we are.. I'm just a man, I'm not a hero Just a boy, who's meant to sing this song Just a man, I'm not a hero I don't care Carry on We'll carry on Though your 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
Do or die You'll never make me Cause the world, will never take my heart Go and try, you'll never break me We want it all, We want to play this part [x2]
