This is the result of listening to too much My Chemical Romance. Ok, it's actually the result of hearing Welcome to The Black Parade about 5 times in 2 hours between 3 music channels. Not that I minded really. She was also inspired by the girl on the cover. And named after my fave goth, Abby from NCIS. Which I can't watch cause of work *pouts* ah well, you get that. Part of my 'Adventures of BittyKitty's iPod' series.

Welcome to 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 saviour 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 saviour 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 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
We'll carry on
And in my heart I can't contain it
The anthem won't explain it.

A world that 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
Defiant 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
We'll carry on
And though you're broken and defeated
Your weary widow marches

On and on we carry through the fears
(Oh oh ohhhh)
Disappointed faces of your peers
(Oh oh ohhhh)
Take a look at me
'Cause I could not care at all

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 want to play this part

I won't explain
Or say I'm sorry
I'm unashamed,
I'm gonna show my scar
Give a cheer
For all the broken
Listen here,
Because it's who we are

I'm just a man,
I'm not a hero
Just a boy
Who had 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 your dead and gone believe me
Your memory will carry on
You'll carry on
And though you're broken and defeated You're weary widow marches on

(Gerard in background)
We'll carry on
We'll carry on
We'll carry on
We'll carry on
We'll carry on

(Everyone else)
Do or die
You'll never make me
because the world
Will never take my heart
You can try
You'll never break me
We want it all
We want to play this part

Do or die
You'll never make me
because the world
Will never take my heart
You can try
You'll never break me
We want it all
We want to play this part
