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 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?"
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.
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.
A woman sends 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
Defiant to the end
We hear the call
To carry on
We'll carry on
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 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
Because the world, will never take my heart
You can try, you'll never break me
You want it all, you wanna 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 only you
I'm just a man, I'm not a hero
I'm just a boy, who's meant 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
Though you're dead and gone believe me
Your memory will carry on
You'll carry on
And though you're broken and defeated
Your weary widow marches on
We'll carry on
We'll carry on
We'll carry on
We'll carry
We'll carry on
(Do or die, you'll never make me
Because the world, will never take my heart
You can try, you'll never break me
You want it all, you wanna play this part)

vocal i think they did wonders by starting their INSANE fame by using this song. i love the song, but when my friends hear it on the radio they ghet overly excited. its kind of blah to me because i have the album and ive heard it a gazillion times. mcr still rocks, and i still love MCR. whoo!
my best firends sisters friend said that gerard looks like a nazi in this video, and that frank iero is about to fall off of the thingy. well, i agree with the second part, but gerard way? nazi? where is this coming from?

vocal I love My Chemical Romance, but this song didnt do much for me. I understand it is needed for The Black Parade, its the song that sorta brings the album together as a whole, but its still my least favorite song on the album, and possibly in MCR's whole history.
That doesnt mean I still dont love it and know all the words, they have just done better.
MCR is great!!!! I can't belive they are in consert with Rise Against and if you don't know who Rise Against is you should totally check them out!! THEY ARE AWESOME!

vocal This is an awesome song!!! Everything about it is great, I'm not a big MCR fan but I love all this "death concept" they handle because they do it perfect! The rhythm and melody makes me happy even tough it's a sad and dark subject. Excellent video too!!!

vocal I'm actually feeling the opposite of a lot of people on here. I used to like this song when it first came out. Well, it was a little too poppy for me, but I used to My Chemical Romance a lot, so I gave it a chance. But then I heard on VH1 every couple of minutes... These guys are complete sellouts now. -.- And just because I have to say it, Gerard is NOT HOT, not matter what color his hair is!!

vocal I love this song...it's not my fav on the album but still it rocks and for StarryEyedKid they're so not sellouts...ccccc
This song is just amazing!
Have anyone heard the song "Kill All Your Friends"?
It`s soo cool! ;P
But "JohnNhoj" just because you don`t have music taste..does not mean that you can talk shit about this band... You can see it your self, if you take one look at the hit list you will see who that is on the top!
This song isn't that good. Were it to have been on Bullets, it would have been one of the better ones on it (although Gerard's singing would have been worse and the overall recording quality wouldn't be the best.) The band has evolved from that first album however, and compared to the better songs on The Black Parade (Dead!, The Sharpest Lives, Mama, and Sleep for example) it falls behind.
