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 and lead you in the summer to join the black parade.

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 and lead you in the summer to join the black parade. Sometimes 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 leaves you reeling in 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 till the end, we'll give a 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 throughout the years. Disappointed faces are left here. Show up, show up, show up, show up. Take a look at me, cause I would 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 want to play this part. I won't explain, I'll say I'm sorry. I'm unashamed, I'm gonna show my scars. Give a cheer for all the broken missing 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. There's 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. We'll carry on. And though you're broken and defeated, you'll wear it with all my tears. 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'll carry on. 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'll carry on.
