Black Parade

Lyrics

[ORGAN INTRO] [VERSE 1] 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 they have made. Because one day I'll leave you, A phantom to lead you in the summer To join the black parade… [STEEL GUITAR & ORGAN SOLO] [VERSE 2] 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..! We'll carry on! And in my heart I can't contain it, The anthem won't explain it. And we will send you reeling from decimated dreams. [BRIDGE] 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! [BRIDGE] 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 oh… Disappointed faces of your peers, Ooh oh… Take a look at me 'cause I could not care at all. [BIG STEEL GUITAR RIFF] [VERSE 3] Do or die! You'll never make me, 'Cause 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 not ashamed, 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's meant to sing this song. Just a man, I'm not a hero I, don't, care… [QUICK ORGAN SOLO] [END CHORUS] Carry on! We'll carry on… 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 wiry widow marches on… We'll carry on..! We'll carry on!!! [ORGAN OUTRO]
