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 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."

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?"

Sometimes I get the feeling he's watching over me
And other times I feel like I should go
When 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
You'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
Lets shout it loud and clear
Defiant 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
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
Want it all, we 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 to me
I'm just a man, I'm not a hero
I'm just a boy, who wanna 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
You'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)
(You can try, you'll never break me)
(We want it all)
We'll carry on
(We wanna play this part)
(Do or die, do or die, die)
We'll carry on
(You'll never make me)
(Because the world)
We'll carry on on on
(Will never take my heart)
(You can try)
We'll carry
(You'll never break me)
(We want it all)
We'll carry on
(We wanna play this part)
