Below, you will find the lyrics for Welcome To The Black Parade by My Chemical Romance.
Intro
When I was a young boy
My father took me into the city
Intro
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?'
Intro
He said, 'Will you defeat them?
Your demons, and all the non-believers
Intro
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'
Intro
When I was a young boy
My father took me into the city
Intro
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
Verse 1
And other times I feel like I should go
And through it all, the rise and fall
The bodies in the streets
Verse 1
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
Chorus 1
And in my heart, I can't contain it
The anthem won't explain it
Verse 2
A world that sends you reelin'
Verse 2
Your misery and hate will kill us all
So paint it black and take it back
Let's shout it loud and clear
Verse 2
Defiant to 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
Chorus 2
And though you're broken and defeated
Your weary widow marches
Bridge
On and on, we carry through the fears
Disappointed faces of your peers
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 wanna play this part
I won't explain or say I'm sorry
I'm unashamed, I'm gonna show my scars
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
Chorus 3
We'll carry on, we'll carry on
And though you're dead and gone, believe me
Your memory will carry on
Chorus 3
And though you're broken and defeated
Your weary widow marches
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
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
