Welcome To The Black Parade Lyrics
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." 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 And 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 Will 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 it loud and clear Do you fight it 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 Will carry on And though you're broken and defeated Youe weary widow marches on On and on we carry through the fears Disappointed faces of your peers Take a look at me 'cause I can not care at all Do or die You'll never make me Because the world will never take my heart Though they try, they'll never break me We want it all, we wanna play this part I won't explain or say I'm sorry I'm not ashamed, I'm gonna show my scar Give a cheer for all the broken Listen here, because it's only I'm just a man, I'm not a hero Just a boy who's meant to sing this song 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 You'll carry on And though you're broken and defeated Youe weary widow marches on Do or die You'll never make me Because the world will never take my heart Though they try, they'll never break me We want it all, we wanna play this part Do or die You'll never make me Because the world will never take my heart Though they try, they'll never break me We want it all, we wanna play this part

Anyway,from what I've heard, there's a story to the album. The Patient has died, more than likely from cancer:
- There's a song on the album called Cancer
- Gerard Way, on the interview video on www.theblackparade.com, said his new look is modelled after how he imagined The Patient, white hair being similar to someone undergoing chemotherapy.
He looks back on his life, contemplating the mistakes and such like in his life.
Gerard said that he believes Death comes in the form of however you want it. As seeing the marching band was a strong memory from The Patient's childhood, The Black Parade is how he sees Death coming to get him.

You can take your Black Flag and shove it.
Punk Rock is suburban now, but it's still one voice against the crowd.

I hate rock operas because the music seems like an afterthought to the story...American Idiot is a good example. Sure, there were some gems thrown in there, but there was way too much filler, and it's hard to sit through the whole thing in one cycle.

This song sucks, its not like them at all; or
This band sold out
Etc etc etc.
The truth is they make concept albums and they are very serious and passionate about what they are doing. Gerards new hair is case in point, the back lash from 'emo' people because of this. So fuck. He is, ike the rest of the band changing their image to go with the concept of the album, much as he did the album before. They are evolving.
All these peeps that criticize etc should watch 'Life On The Murder Scene' and they would almost def change their opinions.
THIS BAND IS NOT EMO.
They are post hardcore punk.
What everyone should remember is that if Greenday where coming out now they'd be classed as Pop or emo. And thats aload of balls. Billie Joe wears the stereotypical emo outfit. But they ain't emo and quite right.
Fuckin half wits just need to class everything and everyone.
Fuck that.

You actually see Gerard getting pissed at the amount of photoshoots using shit like that and he admits its his fault because he loves horrors comics etc and said at the first couple of photoshoots, blood... I want blood!!! But everyone ran with it.

They are post hardcore punk."
God help me if they are post hardcore punk.
This band is pop or pop-punk whatever you want to call it , they are not punk or emo.
Queen wannabes .

The wanted to become a mix of The Misfits, Maiden & The Smiths. Their first album can't be caterogized so, its put in the post hardcore punk.
The whole point of songs like 'Headfirst for Halo's' is so they wouldn't be pigeon holed.

Ugh , they'll never be the misfits .
Well if they are post hardcore punk because their album can't be categorized then it's ok i guess . But they hace said themselves that their a pop. They do pop face it.

it left me speechless
The guitar solos do have a bohemian rhapsody edge to them, i think thats what completes the song. It gives a great sense of a rock balad into the song.
Pop-punk, hardcore punk, who cares?
This band cannot be so easily categorized into one genre.
It was easy in the past to label bands like sex pistols, the misfits, iron maiden and the ramones into genres because the genres were just beginning back then. Nowdays, we have all different kinds of music, alternative, rock, metal, black metal, punk, punk alternative, pop, poprock, you name it.
I don't know what genre to classify mcr, but whatever it is, they better keep at it because it is freaking awesome.
As for the meaning of the song, i think it is introducing the album, the storyline and its characters, the prime one being, 'the patient' in which is suposedly diagnosed with cancer. I think the black parade is a play of words that is a metaphore for death, but again, this is just my opinnion

This song is awesome.
But they'll never be as good as they were in "I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love." I agree with Forget The Hero or whatever your name was, sorry. Where's the lyrics about fragments of your skull falling on my tongue like pixie dust?
All this is a story about crap.
But I love Gerard, as a high school drag queen, as a screamo indie lead singer, as a generic scene icon, and now as a crazy nutter who bleached his brain when he bleached his hair, thinking it would make him look like he'd had chemotherapy.
But, I digress. Nothing My Chem could write could be too awful shitty. Just Queen-imitating, "innovative" (pshaw this is such scene junk they came up with this time around) crap.
However, it's still Gerard singing. His voice is like a choir of angels.
Well, maybe not angels. More like a single, screaming demon.
But a hot demon with a sexy voice.

It's "would you be", not will.
And also. I've heard this song from MCR's MySpace.
The lyrics fit. So whoever is going on how the lyrics are to a different song, are frankly very wrong.
xxxxx.

This IS MCR. Maybe they wanted to do a one off song that was different to all the others. And to the truth, it worked.
If we love MCR, we accept the songs they write and don't complain how it's 'not MCR'.
They want to try something different, let them.
All their songs are as good as eachother and if you really want blood and gore-type songs, go listen to Slipknot.

Although it could be "Give a cheer for all those broken".
It'd make sense.
Aaand. Personally, I think they sound nothing like Greenday. And MCR aren't pop, either.

And BTW to
TextbookInf:
Slipknot does not have any blood gore lyrics, they are pure RAP. FUCK SLIPKNOT!
i mean can't mcr be more like Aiden, that's like one step closer to being a good band, but no they wanna fuck around acting like Queen, i mean we heard it all before!
Next thing you know they're Freedom Call! Symphonic Rock Opera! the hell!
MCR used to be Br00tal, i thought they were gonna become emocore or at least emo with the vampires, blood, knives, nightmares, the make up, the long black hair, the screaming, the horror themes etc...
