Welcome To The Black Parade - My Chemical Romance

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 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."

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 saviour of the broken, the beaten and the damned?"

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.

A woman sends you reeling from decimated dreams

Your misery and hate will kill us all.

So paint it black and take it back

Lets shout it loud and clear

Defiant to the end

We hear the call

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

You can try, you'll never break me

You want it all, you 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

I'm just a boy, who's meant to sing this song

I'm just a man, I'm not a hero

I -- don't -- care

(Do or die You'll never make me

Because the world, will never take my heart

You can try, you'll never break me

You want it all, you wanna play this part)

(Do or die You'll never make me

Because the world, will never take my heart

You can try, you'll never break me

You want it all, you wanna play this part)
