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
SOMETIMES I
GET THE FEELIN'
SHE'S WATCHIN'
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
WE'LL CARRY ON
WE'LL CARRY ON
AND THOUGH YOU'RE
DEAD AND GONE
BELIEVE ME
YOUR MEMORY
WILL CARRY ON
WILL CARRY ON
AND IN MY HEART
I CAN'T CONTAIN IT
THE ANTHEM
WON'T EXPLAIN IT
A WORLD THAT
SENDS YOU REELIN'
FROM DECIMATED DREAMS
YOUR 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 THOUGH YOU'RE
DEAD AND GONE
BELIEVE ME
YOUR MEMORY
WILL CARRY ON
WILL CARRY ON
AND THOUGH YOU'RE
BROKEN AND DEFEATED
YOUR WEARY
WIDOW MARCHES
ON AND ON
WE CARRY
THROUGH THE FEARS
OH AH HA
DISAPPOINTED FACES
OF YOUR PEERS
OH AH HA
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
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
'CAUSE IT'S
WHO WE ARE
JUST A MAN
I'M NOT A HERO
JUST A BOY
WHO HAD TO
SING THIS SONG
JUST A MAN
I'M NOT A HERO
I DON'T CARE
WE'LL CARRY ON
WE'LL CARRY ON
AND THOUGH YOU'RE
DEAD AND GONE
BELIEVE ME
YOUR MEMORY
WILL CARRY ON
YOU'LL CARRY ON
AND THOUGH YOU'RE
BROKEN AND DEFEATED
YOUR WEARY
WIDOW MARCHES ON
DO OR DIE
YOU'LL NEVER
MAKE ME
'CAUSE 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
