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, will 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 street
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
Until my heart I can’t contain it
The anthem won’t explain it
A world that sends you reeling from decimated dreams
You’re 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,
And though your dead and gone believe me
Your memory will carry on
We’ll carry on
And though your broken and defeated
Your weary widow marches on
And on we carry through the fears
Oh oh oh
The disappointed faces of your peers
Oh oh oh
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)
Go and try; you’ll never break me
We want it all, we want to 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, whose 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
And though you’re dead and gone believe me
Your memory will carry on
We’ll carry on
And though your 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
We want it all, we want to 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)
We’ll carry on
We’ll carry on
We’ll carry on
We’ll carry on
We’ll carry on
