Verse

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

Verse

Sometimes I get the feeling
She's watching over me
And other times I feel like I should go
And through it all, the rise and fall
The bodies in the streets
And when you're gone we want you all to know

Chorus

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

A world that sends you reeling
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

Chorus

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

Bridge

On and on we carry through the fears. (Ahh Ahh Ahh)
Disappointed faces of your peers. (Ahh Ahh Ahh)
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
Just a man, I'm not a hero
I don't care!

Chorus

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 though you're broken and defeated
Your weary widow marches on

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
(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)
