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

Oh so the album has leaked.... evil uh.. I'ma search around.

Well I haven't listened the new whole album so I was hoping the catchiness would stop on the singles, but that also means I cannot say wether I'll like it or not, and I promise to be honest about it when the lyrics spread around here.

Here's the almost exact lyrics if anyone was interested , this is the radio version, altough I've listened the other one and its the same with little extra . Corrections made by me and my ear







[Welcome to the Black Parade (Radio edit)]
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 they have made."

Because one day I'll leave you,
A phantom to lead you in the summer,
To join the black parade."


Sometimes I get the feeling she's watching over me
And other times I feel like I should go
When 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 your 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.

Oh What a chance you're reeling from decimated dreams
Your misery and hate will kill us all
So paint it black and take it back
Lets shout out loud and clear
do you fight it to the end
we hear the call to

Carry on
we'll carry on
And though your dead and gone believe me
Your memory will carry on
We'll carry on
and though you're broken and defeated
your wiery widow marches.....

On and on we carry through the fears
ooh oh ohhhh
dissapointed faces of your peers
ooh oh ohhhh
take a look at me cuz I could not care at all...


Do or die
You'll never make me

I'm just a man, I'm not a hero

I'm just a man, I'm not a hero
I... don't... care

We'll carry on
We'll carry on
And though your dead and gone believe me
Your memory will carry on
You'll carry on
and though you're broken and defeated
your wiery widow marches on

We'll carry on

for christ sake, stop listening to these sell-out bands.
i can't really face this fact that the bright history of rock which made by GNR, Pink Floyd and Nirvana is brought down to this tragic situation when the bands like Green Day rules.
good music is always continues though they're a few bands today that play so.
Audioslave, Alter Bridge, Tool, Velvet Revolver and Foo Fighters

Colden Scene i think you misunderstood me , im with you on the "i hate my chemical romance , green day , simple plan " bandwagon but i just think that the bands you listen to are not that good except for nirvana , audioslave and the foo fighters.

I listen to Death Metal / Emocore / Metalcore and emo i don't listen to green day in fact i hate them.
Don't take me for a fucking groupie and stop typing in caps it's annoying.

Example gratia.. I love Muse and I think its an awesome band, but Foo Fighters? Seriously? Now, what can we see? that personal taste gets in the way so you could claim a band sucks when it really doesn't or that its great when it really doesn't. Just to chill things off, and yes Mcr might be sell outs but I still like the concept.
I think the album itself has not leaked or at least for me, but I found a recording with introduction of the songs and its weaker in comparison, It made me sad because I was hoping more raw vocals and psyco beats (the duet with the used was amazing to my ears) but its a new thing maybe trying to open themselves to the shopping teen targets.

Too bad because its not the same, too good because its catchy and everyone needs a catchy song every now and then.

People who complain that bands are "sellouts" need to be shot. I've known a couple of the guys since before IBYMB.YBMYL, and I can say for a fact that they are some of the nicest guys on the planet. It's like, if a band actually makes MONEY (GASP!) people suddenly hate them. Grow the fuck up.

Honestly, how does making money make a band a sellout? In my opinion, selling out is changing your sound for the sole purprose of making more money. Want to name a band that actually sold out? Eighteen Visions. THAT'S what a sellout is. A band can't help it if people actually buy their records. Last time I checked, that was a good thing.

For all the people saying this band is 'emo' and has sold out, STOP! They are so much more, I don't think they can be labeled. Their music is different!
This song is awesome. I can't wait for the new album.=D (excited)

honestly, all this stuff about the band being 'pop' or 'emo' or 'hardcore' or what the hell is stupid. who invented that shit???
the songs must kick ass and this one definitely does NOT X( it already gets boring if you listen to it for the second time...
B12, your add about how to be MCR is just so great *LOL*
but anyway, i'm kind of disappointed by the band. their debut was amazing but now they give us more 'helena' instead of more 'headfist for halos'.
three cheers is kitschy but that fits some songs... they will probably overdo it with the 'black parade':
'31) Don't forget the cheezy uniforms! you gotta look extra cheeze for the camera.'
i fully agree... these costumes are ridiculous
'25) make sure you visit songmeanings everyday, so you don't get caught off guard when they ask you about your lyrics'
again lol... would be good if they did (!) *no comment*
omg, mcr get to your roots again!

Jesus Christ, people. Stop fucking chatting and give me the give fucking meaning of the song. No one cares if you hate MCR and no one gives a shit if you think death metal is better and all that crap. Leave this shit to a fucking chatboard or whatever.

I like this song. It's catchy. Who cares what it is or if it's different from their usual or if it's taking elements from, say, Queen? Although, now that I think about it, this song has that "many pieces" thing Bohemian Rhapsody had, what with the piano beginning and such.

frankly, i dont know what this song means and im not going to mis-interpret it and mess everything up or whatever, but i hate how people classify music and people in categories(ex. emo,gothic) cuz they dont know shit and they are just judging others based on appearances. let a person be who they are and stop bitching and complaining about how people dress or the type of music they listen to or their hobbies...thats all im saying

i'm not fucking chatting und not fucking hating mcr and also not fucking saying everyone should listen to death metal, choked up the air !! all that i want to point out is that mcr developped, or well changed very much. the lyrics are optimistic... well i think i might be wrong thinking the band sees themselves as 'defenders' of the weak *hm* the lyrics are okay, but in the middle of the song the band starts this pop crap again.... i would have been happy if there were some more 'edges' in this song.... these made me love mcr at the beginning

It's a song and to ppl that like this song they don't care what the fuck it is, as long as it's good. Got it? Oh and AbsolutionAgent_gMs , I've seen your other comment on "Cancer" please go fuck yourself bitch! You're just hating on MCR so stop banging on them and most of their songs. I agree that Nirvana and all of those bands are awesome, but go post on one of their songs instead of bashing songs that you hate. Got it?

I had a feeling this would happen. I knew My Chemical Romance would make a "concept album"; I don't know why, but I was right. But what I didn't think would happen is they would have Rob Cavallo produce it and have Samuel Bayer direct it. That took balls, it also took balls to call it a "goth opera" in Rolling Stone. Or the record company told them to do that, one of the two.

Anyway, this song seems to be either My Chemical Romance's attempt at "Bohemian Rhapsody" or "Jesus of Suburbia". I'm thinking more Queen in the sound of the song and more Billie Joe Armstrong in how Gerard Way is singing. Although Gerard Way has got some Freddie Mercury moves going on in the video.

The odd thing is, I don't absolutely hate this song. It's actually kind of catchy, but EXTREMELY over-produced in some parts. Also, my first impression of "The Patient" character is that he's gay because he likes parades. I have no problem with gay people but I think of gay pride parades.

The video perplexes me. For one thing, the little outfits they have on(except theirs are black, of course, the float and the people behind them remind of the album cover for "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club"(I serious, go find a picture). Another thing, it just doesn't seem complete. But I guess it could be concluded in their next video, which Samuel Bayer will also direct. The people look like they're wearing either Indian war paint or Aborigine makeup. The background of the video looks like Mordor, so when he's walking towards the mountain looking thing, it reminds me of Frodo going to destroy the Ring.
