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
