Crown The Empire - Welcome To The Black Parade lyrics

[Intro] 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?" [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus 1] 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 [Verse 2] It will you reeling from decimated dreams Your misery and hate will k** us all So paint it black and take it back Let's shout it loud and clear Defiant 'till the end we hear the call [Chorus 2] 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 [Verse 3] On and on we carry through the fears Oh, oh, oh Disappointed faces of your peers Oh, oh, oh Take a look at me cause I could not care at all [Bridge] 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 wanna play this part Won't explain or say I'm sorry I'm not ashamed, I'm gonna show my scars Give a cheer for all the broken Listen here, because it's who we- 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 [Chorus 2] 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 [Bridge/Outro] 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 wanna play this part (We'll carry 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 wanna play this part (We'll carry on!)
