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   And 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   And in my heart, I can't contain it   The anthem won't explain it      And while 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   Do you fight it 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   You're 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 the world will never take my heart   Though you try, you'll never break me   We want it all, we wanna play this part      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 only      I'm just a man, I'm not a hero   Just a boy who wanna sing his song   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, you'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   Though you try, you'll never break me   We want it all, we wanna play this part   (We'll carry on)      Do or die, you'll never make me   Because the world will never take my heart   Though you try, you'll never break me   We want it all, we wanna play this part   (We'll carry on)
