when he was a young boy his father took him into the city to see a marching band

he said "son, when you grow up will you be that savior of the beaten, the broken and the damned" he said "will you defeat them, your demons and all the non believers, the plan 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 he gets the feeling shes watching over him and other times he feels like he should go And through it all, the raise and fall, the bodies in the streets And when you're gone, we want you all to know, we'll carry on And through you're dead and gone, believe him, your memory will carry on And in his heart, he 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 Let's shout it loud and clear, defiant to the end, we hear the call to carry on, we'll carry on And through you're dead and gone, believe him, your memory will carry on, we'll carry on And through you're broken and defeated, your weary widow marches on and on, we carry through our fears Disappointed faces of your peers Take a look at him cause he could not care at all do or die, you'll never make him because the world will never take his heart, go an try, you'll never break him we want it all, we wanna play this part he won't explain or say he's sorry, he's unashamed, he's gonna show his scars, give a cheer for all the broken Listen here, because its who they are just a man, he's not a hero just a boy, who had to sing this song just a man, he's not a hero he doesn't care we'll carry on, we'll carry on and through you're dead and gone, believe him, your memory will carry on, you'll carry on and through you're broken and defeated, your weary widow marches do or die, you'll never make him because the world will never take his heart, go an try, you'll never break him we want it all, we wanna play this part, we'll carry on do or die, you'll never make him, we'll carry on, because the world will never take his heart, we'll carry on, go an try, you'll never break him, we'll carry on do or die, you'll never make him, we'll carry on, because the world will never take his heart, we'll carry on, go an try, you'll never break him, we'll carry on we want it all, we wanna play this part WE'LL CARRY ONN
