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

It literaly makes me crack up on all MCR's 'Famous' songs that there is a huge fight on thee most pointless shit. Number one, if you don't like MCR you should probably get out. Number two, these pages are to define the meaning of songs; not how much they suck. And number three, this song is amazing. Even though I'm thinking it's gonna be another 'Helena'; Meaning its gonna be a huge song that everyone likes. The Album hasn't been released yet and My Chem already has a fucking amazing hit from it. I'm thinking it means basically what the lyrics are describing; carrying on when someone is gone. The boys are telling us to be strong when we lose someone of great importance to us. That the lost person would probably want you to pick up all your strength, muster all your courage, and grieve in bravery, peace, and defiance. Always show them that they'll never those that special place in your heart.

First of all, learn proper grammer. And secondly; I didn't say I Liked them for having hits. Even though Helena is probably where most of their poser fans came from; I still like the song. Just because millions of people out there 'think' they like My Chemical Romance because they heard the song Helena isn't a reason for me to dislike it. Thats exactly how I feel about this song. Probably attracting millions of 'poser fans' as we speak, but I'm still loving the song.

Kid, you should really stop instigating things on here; It's rather annoying.

Agreed totally with bullets on this one

FackingHell: 'This song is about how Gerard hates black people, and sings of how Hitler could have brought clensing to america.'

Woah, hold back there
I think your on the wrong page here.
Well, my two cents is, i can't see any racism in the song. No bias oppinions or prejudice issues, and as far as i know, this song isn't about Hitler and the aryan race, etc.
It is a song about loosing someone you love, and learning to cope/deal/survive without them. (most likely relating back to Gerard and his Grandmother) Yes, it may become a very mainstream song, but i think its still really good: one of the reasons being that almost everyone can relate to it because, everyone, at one stage in their lives, has to learn how to deal with a loss. Second being it is (in my opinnion) a fantastic song

you've made the biggest insult to rock: Rock= sex.
deep political lyrics by Pearl Jam and Rage Against The Machine are about Sex and money?! "Another Brick Into The Wall" which changed the UK educational system is about sex? after 12 years the meaning of "Heart Shaped Box" is still unclear and you telling me these are all about sex. you want excellent and meaningful lyrics? listen to the unique and metaphorically lyrics by Maynnard.j.keenan both in APC and Tool.
i know that the bands playing REAL rock is decreased, but not everyone go the direct way.
you think there's no Corruption in black/death meatl.yeah, there are good Metal bands as Rock. and rubbish as Rock. Soulfly, Fear Factory, Soilwork. see? both have Good and Bad examples but that doesn't mean to bash a GENRE.
and for gods sake just think a little before putting your finger on the keys.

THERE ARE ALWAYS SOME BANDS TO SAVE ROCK

THANK YOU! god, agent need s to just...stop talking. hes wrong. why does nobody believe Metallica made it? sure started from what led zepplin and black sabbath, to def lepard to motley crue, to iron maiden and judas priest, then skip some bands, to metallica, anthrax, megadeth, and slayer. another phrase...
"It almost feels like we were trying to deny our place in history as it was happening
-trying to deny we were a thrash band unless, OR acknowledge that we invented it! How's that for a bunch of snobby young punks that think they know everything!"-Metallica.

remember your music's heritage boy, kinda like Honor your Ancestors or whatever? if it wasnt for them you wouldnt be here.

ur no more exciting or talk worthy then the spider crawling up my wall or the cheez-its im eating right now.

hey B12, fuck the underground scene, they ain't worth a damn, they're just a bunch of self-righteous cocksuckers. everybody's got to hate because someone caught a break and are doing well for themselves now. half the shit the underground releases is ass and for everybody who's naggin about a guy's hairdo seriously needs to evaluate their priorities, if they make good music i don't give two shits about their looks. damn, everybody got to make shit harder than it really is. that's for real.

would you people stop insulting agent g!
this page is about the song, not about Metallica or how shite classic rocknroll bands are.

Listen to Adagio, I Am Ghost, Moi Dix Mois, Children Of Bodom, Black Dahlia Murder, Stormcrow and Arch Enemy, and you'll understand where i'm coming from.

All these bands are mostly influenced by classical music, that's why i'll have to agree with agent g.

if they're looking for rock opera with power metal influences they should listen to Freedom Call, they're experts at that.

Would you please choose another excuse? that one is getting really old.

And he's suggesting those bands because they kick metallicas ass. And if you like MCR over those bands then i must say: you are fucking dead.

And to bullets: Go cry with your journal : Poser.
