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 savior 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."

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,
You'll carry on,
and in my heart I cant contain it,
the anthem wont 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.
Do you fight it 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.
You'll carry on
and though you're broken and defeated,
you're wiery widow marches

on and on we carry through the fears.
ooh oh ohhhh

Dissapointed 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. ---/
And though you try, you'll never break me.
You want it all, you wanna play this part.

I won't explain, or say I'm sorry.
Im 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 wans 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.
You'll carry on,
and though you're broken and defeated,
you're wiery widow marches on---

Do or die, you'll never make me
Because the world, will never take my heart.
And though you try, you'll never break me.
You want it all,(We'll carry on---) you wanna play this part.

Do or die, you'll never make me
Because the world,(We'll carry on---) will never take my heart.
And though you try, you'll never break me.
You want it all,(We'll carry on---) you wanna play this part.
