5. much of the dialog on this OP reminds me of music from the 90s
Here's some poignant lyrics I first heard on my way to an anti-war rally with Code Pink in DC:

The Black Parade
by: My Chemical Romance

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
When through it all, the rise and fall
The bodies in the street
And when you're gone we want you all to know

We'll carry on, We'll carry on
And though you say you don't believe me
Your memory will carry on
We'll carry on
Until my heart I can’t contain it
The anthem won't explain it

And we will send you reeling from decimated dreams
You're misery and hate will kill us all
So paint it black and take it back
Lets shout it loud and clear
To fight it to the end we hear the call
To carry on

We'll carry on,
And though your still and gone believe me
Your memory will carry on
We'll carry on
And though your broken and defeated
Your weary widow marches

And on we carry through the fears
Oh oh oh
Disappointed faces of your piers
Oh oh oh
Take a look at me 'cause I could not care at all
Do or die
You'll never make me
‘Cause the world, will never take my (heart)
You can try; you'll never break me
You want it all, I'm gonna play this (part)
Won't explain, or say I'm sorry
I'm unashamed, I'm gonna show my (scar)
You're the chair, for all the broken
Lose it here, because it's too me
I'm just a man; I'm not a hero
Just a boy, whose meant to sing this (song)
I'm just a man; I'm not a hero
I Don't Care

We'll carry on
We'll carry on
And though you're still and gone believe me
Your memory will carry on
We'll carry on
And though your broken and defeated
Your weary widow marches on
(Do or die)
You'll never make me
‘Cause the world, will never take my (heart)
You can try; you'll never break me
You want it all, I'm gonna play this (part)
(Do or die)
You'll never make me
‘Cause the world, will never take my (heart)
You can try; you'll never break me
You want it all, I'm gonna play this (part)
We'll carry on
