[Intro]
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" (The black parade)
When I was a young boy
My father took mе into the city
To see a marching band
He said, "Son, when you grow up
Would you bе the savior of the broken
The beaten and the damned?"

[Break]
(Gonna rave, I want a Black Parade)
(Gonna rave, I want a Black Parade)
(Gonna rave, I want a Black Parade)
(Marching band, marching band, marching band)
(Gonna rave, I want a Black Parade)
(I'm gonna rave, I want a Black Parade)
[Chorus]
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 in my heart, I can't contain it
The anthem won't explain it

[Breakdown]
Do or die, you'll never make me
Because the world will never take my heart
Go and try, you'll never break me
We want it all, we wanna play this part
I won't explain or say I'm sorry
I'm unashamed, I'm gonna show my scars (Scars, scars, scars, scars, scars)
(I'm gonna rave, I want a Black Parade)

[Outro]
(I'm gonna rave, I want a Black Parade)
(I'm gonna rave, I want a Black Parade)
