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,
You 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,
will you be the savior 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
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 all 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
A woman 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 out loud and clear
Defiant to the end we hear the call
To carry on [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/m/my_chemical_romance/black_parade.html ]
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 oh
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
Come and try; you'll never break me
We want it all, we want to 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, whose meant to sing this song
I'm 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
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
Come and try; you'll never break me
We want it all, we want to 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 want to play this part
We'll carry on
This song is one of the ways death could come to you. In the making of the black parade found on youtube, gerard states that death can come to you in any way u want it. The guy in the music video, his foundest memory is his dad taking him to a parade. So death comes to him in the form of the black parade.
Wonderful song. One of my alltime favorites!! Blackparade94 is absolutly correct. I saw that interveiw too :)

This song means that some people believe that death comes to you how you want it to and in this case it comes in the form of a parade that his father took him to as a boy

My personal experience of this song is positive. This song positively portrays what life is really all about. It should inspire us to think that life in general is like a "black parade". It is full of challenges, hardships, pains, frustrations, and bad memories. But despite all these, just like the kid in the song, we must trust our guts, carry on and not give up.

An inspirational song... It talks about standing up for yourself and how people tell you can't do something, you do it anyways. Also so that if you don't do that something, get back up and try again, and carry on (lol. )
