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 tooke me into the city to see a marching band He sad 'son when you grow up, would 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 streets And when you come we watch you want to know We'll carry on We'll carry on and though you're singing, god believe me Your memory will carry on You'll carry on And in my heart I can't contain it The end of world is waiting Your romances you reel in from decimated dreams Your misery and hate will kill us all! So paint it black and take it back And let's shout aloud at prayer! Defy unto the end we hear the call! So carry on We'll carry on and though your singing, god believe me Your memory will carry on And carry on And though you're broken and defeated Your weary widow marches On and 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 I won't You'll never take my heart And though they try They'll never break me They want it all They wanna break this heart I won't explain Or say I'm sorry I'm not ashamed I'm gonna show my scar Give the chair Now while I'm broken Listen here! And listen to me! I'm just a man, I'm not a hero Just a boy Now let him 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 singing, god believe me Your memory will carry on You'll carry on And though you're broken and defeated Your weary widow marches on! Do or die You'll never make me Because I won't You'll never take my heart And though they try They'll never break me They want it all They wanna break this heart Do or die You'll never make me Because I won't You'll never take my heart And though they try They'll never break me They want it all They wanna break this heart
