When I was a young boy,
My father took me into the city
To see a marching band.

my name is harry you know me as the boy who lived but once i had a mum and dad

i loved dad once he took me out to see the funny men with the black fluffy hats

marching he knew he was going to die
no one would save him or mum i was one

and he said to me

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."

he wasn't stupid he knew there was no saving himself

he told me i'd walk alone but through all the pain

i'd rise like a phoenix from the ashes

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?"

my mum died as well she was beautiful my mum

she knew how to love and was loved in return

she died protecting me but

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.

i'l carry on alone no not alone i have

love in my heart and have been loved i am never truly alone

mum dad i just want you to know

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.

the world is dark now day's but as long as the eternal flame of hope is

in my heart i will rise i have my doubts

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

tom marvolo riddle will never win as i have

one thing he will never have love

i have the love of the flower and the stag

On and on we carry through the fears
Ooh oh ohhhh
Disappointed faces of your peers
Ooh oh ohhhh
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

i'll keep fighting till my last breath leaves my body

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

im not sorry im not ashamed but i am doubtfulll

I'm unashamed, I'm gonna show my scar
Give a cheer for all the broken
Listen here, because it's who we are

what am i ?

I'm just a man, I'm not a hero
Just a boy, who had to sing this song
I'm just a man, I'm not a hero
I! don't! care!

to carry on i am the phoenix i am the one who will

fight to the end

We'll carry on
We'll carry on
And though you're dead and gone believe me
Your memory will carry on

i will remember you and will shine as the light in the darkness

i do not want fame

i do not want money

i won't be worshipped

We'll carry on
And though you're broken and defeated
Your weary widow marches 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)

i am a tool of light

but i will escape the cage and shine on

Do or die, you'll never make me (We'll carry on)
Because the world will never take my heart (We'll carry on)
Go and try, you'll never break me (We'll carry)
We want it all, we wanna play this part (We'll carry
