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" (The black parade) When I was a young boy My father took mе into the city To see a marching band He said, "Son, when you grow up Would you bе the savior of the broken The beaten and the damned?" (Gonna rave, I want a Black Parade) (Gonna rave, I want a Black Parade) (Gonna rave, I want a Black Parade) (Marching band, marching band, marching band) (Gonna rave, I want a Black Parade) (I'm gonna rave, I want a Black Parade) We'll carry on, we'll carry on And though you're dead and gone, believe me Your memory will carry on You'll carry on And in my heart, I can't contain it The anthem won't explain it 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 (Scars, scars, scars, scars, scars) (I'm gonna rave, I want a Black Parade) (I'm gonna rave, I want a Black Parade) (I'm gonna rave, I want a Black Parade)
