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 d___ed?"
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 d___ed?"

Sometimes I get the feeling she's watching over me
And other times I feel like I should go
Went 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
Until 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 out 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

We carry through the fears
Disappointed faces of your peers
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
Come and try, you'll never break me
We want it all, we want to 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
Come and try; you'll never break me
We want it all, we want to play this part
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
We'll carry on
