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,
Will 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,
Will you be the saviour of the broken,
The beaten, and the damned?"
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 street
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, Oh, ohhh
Disappointed faces of your peers
Oh, Oh, ohh
Take a look at me
Cos 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 scar
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
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
We'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
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 make me
(We'll carry on.)
We want it all, we wanna play this part
(We'll carry on.)
