When I was a young boy
My father took me to the city of Washington
He said, 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 that they have made
Because one day I'll leave you a phantom
To lead you in the summer
To join the Black Parade
Where I was a young boy
My father took me into the city
To see how much you meant
He said, you grow up, will you be
The savior of the broken, the beaten and the damned
He said, will you be


Sometimes I get the feeling she's watching over me
And other times I feel like I should go
Went through it all, the rise and fall
The bodies in the streets
And when you got me what you want to know
We'll carry on, we'll carry on
And though you're just getting up
Believe me, your memory will carry on
You'll carry on, and then what?
All I can contain it
The answer won't explain it
What would I send you, really?
From decimated dreams
Your misery and hate will kill us all
So bring it back and take it back
Let's shout it loud and clear
Before you choose the end
We hear the call
To carry on, to carry on
And though you're just getting up
Believe me, your memory will carry on
You'll carry on, you'll carry on
And though you're just getting up
We hear the call
To carry on, to carry on
And though you're just getting up
We hear the call
To carry on, we hear the call
Cause we call it
We wanna play this part
I won't explain, I'll say I'm sorry
I'm unashamed, I'm gonna show my scar
Give a cheer, I'm rather broken
Listen here, because it's here we are
I'm just a man, I'm not a hero
Just a boy, we wanna sing this
Just a man, not a hero
I don't understand
We'll carry on, we'll carry on
And though you're taken, believe me
Your memory will carry on
We'll carry on
And though you're broken and defeated
You're weary with a marches on
We'll carry on
We'll carry on
We'll carry on
We'll carry on
We'll carry on
You guys are amazing.
