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." 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. A world 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 it loud and clear Defiant 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 Your weary widow marches On and on we carry through the fears Oh oh ohhhh) Disappointed faces of your peers (Oh 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 We Wanna Know We want to 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 who we are I'm just a man, I'm not a hero Just a boy Who had to sing this song Im just a man, I'm not a hero I Don't Care We'll carry on We'll carry on And though your dead and gone believe me Your memory will carry on We'll 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
