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

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. 
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 your dead and gone believe me 
Your memory will carry on 
We"ll carry on 
And in my heart I cant contain it 
The anthem wont explain it. 

And we will send 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 to the end 
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 
You"re weary widow marches on 
And on we carry through the years 
Ooh oh ohhhh 

Heres the disapointed 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 
You want it all, I"m gonna play this part 
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 only.. 
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 

We"ll 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 
You"re 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 
You want it all, I"m gonna play this part (x2) 
(We"ll carry on (x6)
