Lyrics for Welcome To The Black Parade as interpreted by AbsolutionAgent_gMs

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

hahahaha

12 aka king roxas you never fail to impress

but iv been her doin some thinkin, my chemical romance have changed a lot now, not the same as they once were

and yes, im not happey about it, i even hated them for a while

(a long with you 12) but then it hit me, these guys havnt hurt anyone or done anything where they deserve to be killed, theyve just sold out wich i now in my heart i would never do but i cant hate people for doing so, only dislike them

hate is a strong word, i can dislike there new stuff because of how good there early stuff was, but ya see, lets not hate them for turning there back on the fans like me and 12 and others

lets just remember them for what they once were

my chemical romance are now a band that i dont mind, if someone said to me ''what do you think of mcr?'' i will just say

''theyre alrite, there early stuff is brilliant,

not feelin this stuff though''

so what im sayin is, we shouldnt hate mcr for doing what they have done, we should focus our hate on that fruity bert from the used

for turning mcr ever so slightly bent, that now they are broken

and just cant get it back lol

so lets remember the good times and forget the times gerard

was molested on stage by bert,

so long mcr, its been fun, thank you, good bye and good luck

(you rich bastards) lol

so, basically, they were supposed to remain exactly the same and sing the same shit over and over again with different titles, and then you would still like them is that right? as long as every song had a reference to vampires and blood?
please.

no, they should at least move on to stuff like BDM, heavier music, more complexe guitar lines, faster drumming, discuss important subjects and various other topics in their songs.

Don't get me wrong i still listen to them, they're just not my favorites anymore.

Even though Welcome To The Black Parade is different from anything else they've done, it still sounds like queen.

And by the way, i suggest you all listen to the other tracks on the new album, you'll notice they've all been recycled.

I dare anyone here to come up to me and tell me that Dead isn't a copy of Headfirst for Halos, or that House of Wolves isn't actually the used's Back of Your Mouth with no trumpets, or that I Don't Love You's intro wasn't ripped off from simple plan's Crazy. And last but not least Desert Song, who seems to have borrowed alot from TBS.
What about Cancer you say? Let's just say it's kind of a blend from all of their soft crappy songs.

So you see, right now, MCR are all but original, nevertheless they're still a revolutionary band.

AS for Agent G:
Come on man, don't be a hater, respect the band you once loved, even though they seem to have turned their back on fans like us, it's their decision to sell out.
And if i recall, MCR was the first band that turned me into this emo/emocore/deathmetal/blackmetal fan i am today, and i know it's the same with you.

If anyone here wants some good bands check out my favorites by clicking on my nickname and then on "site interaction", you'll find all of the bands i might suggest you listen to.

To forget Mcr you should.

First ; Listen to 30 seconds to mars
2nd: The used and Aiden or FFTL
3rd : Atreyu , it dies today
4th : Alexisonfire , Underoath.
5th :CoB , BDM ,As i lay dying

if you do that you'll forget about this shitty band.

As for 12:

I liked MCR and i told you this was gonna happen from the beggining, remember our msn coversations?
i told you gerards voice wasn't made for screaming.
I already knew they were going to sell out. So i started listening to some heavy shit.

Now i have to hate this because music is suppose to be evolving not copying bands that ruled the world once.

This is why i hate MCR.

I want to argue with you both because of my undying loyalty to this band...I mean it's like they drug me out of slumber with their first album...no music before or since has EVER affected me the way that bullets did.
and i do like this song, a lot, even if it is queen- influenced. I don't see anything wrong with them doing a song like that especially when the lyrics are so Gerard. However, I haven't heard any of the other new songs because I wanted to wait until the album came out so I could hear them the way the band meant for them to be heard...maybe I should download a few so I can make a more educated arguement.
Still, these guys are my band, and I feel as if everyone is turning their backs on them because they're trying to evolve....

-_- Did you read MY comment happy thoughts?
Thay aren't evolving, they're just selling out, there's a difference between coming up with original material, and copying contemporary MTV bands or recycling music.

and as for G:
yeah i remember exactly what you used to tell me, but wasn't MCR the main reason you started listening to the heavy shit?
you should at least be grateful to that.
what i mean is: you shouldn't insult them, just diss them.
"this band is very untalented and only made it this far by commercialism" instead of " fuck this band. fuck all you posers. listen to DM"
It's better for your image on SM.
And i have to disagree on IDT getting outranked by UnderOATH, lol (no freakin way)

yes, of course i read your comments. I know that you think they've sold out, what i was trying to say was that they are trying to evolve, not sell out.
I mean, even if they did sell out, that would hardly be their goal

i know that, most bands start out saying "we'll always be underground!" and the only band that ever succeeded in doing that was Jack Off Jill who, by the way, kept their game on a "no commercialism" profile until they disbanded, six years!

I would describe "Welcome To The Black Parade" as one of the few decent songs on the album.

It has a good stucture, solid lyrics and symetrical guitarlines creating some kind of polyphony.
It's not dark so that takes one point out of ten, and here's another two for the lack of diversity during the chorus and we get a 7/10 which is more than enough.

But the rest just isn't MCR, although i only heard them live, the studio versions can't be much better.
We'll have to wait and see.

UnderOAth is a good band however they are a bunch of homo christians if you know what i mean. Nofx kicked their ass on warped.

Anyway good news for us my friend, i heard MCR were gonna disband after this album, since it was destined to be titled "THe Rise And Fall", and after that Frankie was gonna start his own band, and believe me it ain't gonna be no Pencey Prep this time! :D

Maybe the singing but not the song , they tried to ripped off radiohead's Pyramid Song. Fags they'll never be radiohead and they'll never achieved what albums like The bends ,Ok Computer ,Kid A and Amnesiac have achieved.

I'm thinkin Frankie's band might sound something like Bring Me The Horizon, Ray might have a metalcore project on the way, and i reckon Gerard the twat would do backing vocals for simple plan or TBS.
Mikey and Bob would prolly go back to being clerks at macdonalds.
And last but not least Matt, he'd surely get his revenge on Gerard, and then join Frankie's band.

Good epilogue eh?

and skip to the 12th post

personally, i thought "mama" was the most decent, even though all the tracks sucked.
And "Teenagers" is clearly a "why don't you get a job" (by offspring) rip off.

MCR is goin down, down, down.....
