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."
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?"
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!
We'll carry on!
And in my heart I can't contain it,
the anthem won't explain it,
A world that sends you reeling, from decimated dreams
