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 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 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

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

Carry on
We'll carry on

And in my heart I cant contain it

The anthem wont explain it

And we will send 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

do you fight it to the end
we hear the call to

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 you're broken and defeated

you're wiery widow marches

and on we carry through the fears
ooh oh ohhhh
Dissappointed faces of your peers
ooh oh ohhhh

take a look at me cos i could not care at all
do or die
you'll never make me
cos the world will never take my heart
you can try you'll never break me
want it all i'm gonna play this part
wont explain or say i'm sorry

im not ashamed i'm gonna show my scar
Give a cheer for all the broken
lose it here because it's only
i'm just a man i'm not a hero
just a boy whos meant to sing this song
just a man i'm not a hero
i don't care

carry on

we'll carry on

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 wiery widow marches

we'll carry on

we'll carry on
we'll carry on

we'll carry
we'll carry on
