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, will you be the saviour 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.'

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'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 

Carry on 

We'll carry on 

And in my heart I cant contain it 

The anthem wont explain it. 



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 



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 on 



And on we carry through the fears 

Oh oh oh 

Disappointed faces of your peers 

Oh oh ohh 



Take a look at me cause 

I could not care at all 

Do or die 

You'll never make me 

Cause the world will never take my heart 

You can try, you'll never break me 

We want it all, 

I'm gonna play this part 

I won't explain or say i'm sorry 

I'm unashamed, 

I'm gonna show my scar 

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!



We'll carry on 

We'll carry on 

Though you're dead and gone believe me 

Your memory will carry on 

We'll carry on 

And though you're broken and defeated You're weary widow marches on 



Do or die 

You'll never make me 

Cause the world will never take my heart 

You can try, you'll never break me 

We want it all, 

(We'll carry on) 

I'm gonna play this part 



Do or die 

(We'll carry on)

You'll never make me 

(We'll carry on)

Cause the world will never take my heart 

You can try, 

(We'll carry on)

You'll never break me 

We want it all, 

(We'll carry on) 

I'm gonna play this part 

(We'll carry on) 

We'll carry on!
