* 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.”

Some

times 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

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 Let’s shout it loud and clear
Defiant 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 Oh, ah, ha
Disappointed faces of your peers Oh, ah, ha
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
Go and try, you’ll never break me We want it all, we wanna play this part
I won’t explain or say I’m sorry I’m unashamed, I’m gonna show my scars
Give a cheer 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 had to sing this 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
Your weary widow marches, oh

Do or die, you’ll never make me Because the world will never take my heart
Go and 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 (we’ll carry on)
Because the world will never take my heart (we’ll carry on) Go and try, you’ll never break me (we’ll carry on)
We want it all, we wanna play this part (we’ll carry on!)
