When I was a young boy, my father took me into the city, to see a marching band
         |G             D/F#          |Em         Em/D         |
He said, "Son, when you grow up, would you be the savior of the
  |C        G/B           |Am    D   |
broken, the beaten and the damned?"
         |G          D/F#           |Em          Em/D   |
He said, "Will you defeat them? Your demons, and all the
        |C         G/B                 |Am   D   |
non-believers, the plans that they have made?"

"Because one day, I'll leave you a phantom, to lead you in the

Sometimes I get the feeling, she's watching over me
   |C            |G                 |D   |D   |
And other times I feel like I should go
   |G                  |D/F#              |F            |C      |
And through it all, the rise and fall, the bodies in the streets
   |C                   |G              |D          |D    |
And when you're gone, we want you all to know, we'll carry

 on, we’ll carry   on, and in my heart, I can't contain it, the anthem won't explain it

 |G                   |D/F#         |F        |C     |
A world that sends you reeling, from decimated dreams
    |C         |G                |D   |D   |
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
