My Chemical Romance – Welcome To The Black Parade

Welcome To The Black Parade lyrics

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.”

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?”

Sometimes I get the feeling

She’s watching over me.

And other times I feel like I should go.

When 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 cynical, believe me,

Your memory will

Carry on, we’ll carry on.

Until 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 out loud and clear.

Defiant to the end, we hear the call.

To carry on, we’ll carry on.

And though you’re cynical, 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.

Though you 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 who we are.

I’m just a man,

I’m not a hero.

Just a boy,

Who had 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 onn.

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,

Your weary widow marches on.

Do or die,

You’ll never make me.

Because the world,

Will never take my heart.

Go and try,

You’ll never break me.

You want it all,

You want to play this part.

Do or die,

You’ll never make me.

Because the world,

Will never take my heart.

Go and try,

You’ll never break me.

You want it all,

You want to play this part.
