* 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 leave you, 

A phantom to lead you in the summer, 

To join the black parade." 



[Repeat *]



Sometimes I get the feeling she's watching over me. 

And other times I feel like I should go. Through it all, the rise and fall, the bodies in the streets. 

When you're gone we want you all to know We'll Carry on, 

We'll Carry on 

Though your dead and gone believe me Your memory will carry on 

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 

Do you fight it to the end 

We hear the call to 

To carry on 

We'll carry on 

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 fears 

Ooh oh ohhhh 

Disappointed 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 

Cause the world, will never take my heart 

You can try, you'll never break me 

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 

Carry on 

We'll carry on 

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 

We'll carry on 

We'll carry on 

We'll carry on 

We'll carry 

We'll carry on
