The End

Now come one,
Come all,
To this tragic affair,
Wipe off that make up,
What's in is despair,
So throw on the black dress,
Mix in with the lot,
You might wake up and notice you’re someone you're not,
If you look in the mirror and don’t like what you see,
You can find out first hand what it’s like to be me,
So gather 'round piggies and kiss this goodbye,
I encourage your smiles,
I expect you won't cry,

Oooh,

Another contusion,
My funeral chair,
Here's my resignation,
I'll serve it in drag,
You've got front row seats to the penitence, but
When I grow up I want to be nothing at all,

I said yeah,
Yeah,
Say yeah,
Yeah,
Come on,

Give me your hand in my hand,
Tell me that your,
Tell me that one day,
If you can hear me,
Just walk away.

Dead!

And if your heart stops beating
I'll be there wondering
Did you get what you deserve?
The ending of your life

And if you get to Heaven
I'll be here waiting, baby
Did you get what you deserve?
The ending of your life won't wait
Then your heart can't take this hell

You heard the news that you're dead
No one ever had much nice to say
I think I never liked you anyway
You're dead
Free from the hospital bed
Wouldn't it be grand
Be exactly what you planned
And wouldn't it be great if
We were dead

All Dead!

So tired and oh so squeamish
You never fell in love
Did you get what you deserve?
The ending of your life

And if you get to Heaven
I'll be here waiting, baby
Did you get what you deserve?
The ending of your life won't wait
Then your heart can't take this hell

You heard the news that you're dead
No one ever had much nice to say
I think I never liked you anyway
You're dead
Free from the hospital bed
Wouldn't it be grand
Take a pistol by the hand
And wouldn't it be great if
We were dead

And in my honest observation
To ring this operation
Found a complication
In your heart, so long
Cause now you've got
Maybe just two weeks to live
Cause I - c'mon c'mon

La la la la la,
La la la la la,
La la la la la,
La la la la la,
La la la la la,
La la la la la,

If life ain't just a joke
Then why are we laughing?
Ain't just a joke
Then why are we laughing?
Ain't just a joke
Then why are we laughing?
Ain't just a joke
Then why am I dead?

Dead!

This Is How I Disappear

GO!

To un-explain the unforgivable,
Drain all the blood and give the kids a show.
By streetlight this dark night,
A séance down below.
There're things that I have done,
You never should ever know!

And without you is how I disappear,
And live my life alone forever now.
And without you is how I disappear,
And live my life alone forever now.

Who walks among the famous living dead,
Drowns all the boys and girls inside your bed.
And if you could talk to me,
Tell me if it's so,
That all the good girls go to heaven.
Well, heaven knows

That without you is how I disappear,
And live my life alone forever now.
And without you is how I disappear,
And live my life alone forever now.

Can you hear me cry out to you?
Words I thought I'd choke on figure out.
I'm really not so with you anymore.
I'm just a ghost,
So I can't hurt you anymore,
So I can't hurt you anymore.

And now, you wanna see how far down I can sink?
Let me go, fuck!
So, you can, well now so, you can
I'm so far away from you.
Well now so, you can.

And without you is how I disappear,
And without you is how I disappear,
Whoa whoa... (And without you is how I disappear)
Whoa whoa... (And without you... is how, is how, is how...)
Forever, forever now!

Famous Last Words

Now I know
That I can’t make you stay
But where’s your heart
But where’s your heart
But where’s your...

I know
There’s nothing I could say
To change that heart
To change that heart
To change...

So many
Bright lights been cast a shadow
But can I speak?
Well is it hard understanding
I’m incomplete
The life that’s so demanding
I get so weak
And all their souls are burning
I can’t speak

I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey if you stay, I’ll be forgiving
Nothing you can say can stop me going home

Can you see
My eyes are shining bright
Cause I’m out here
On the other side
Of the jet black
Broken mirror
And I’m so weak
Well is it hard understanding
I’m incomplete
And all their souls are burning
I get weak

I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey if you stay
I’ll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going

I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey if you stay
I’ll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home

These bright lights are
glowing bright at me
These bright lights are
glowing bright at me
I said

I see you lying next to me
With words I thought I’d never speak
Awake and unfraid
Asleep or dead
[x4]

I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey if you stay
I'll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home
[x3]

Hidden Track /Blood/

Well they encourage all complete cooperation,
Send you roses when they think you need to smile.
I can't control myself because I don't know how,
And they love me for it honestly, I'll be here for a while.

So give them blood, blood, gallons of the stuff!
Give them all that they can drink and it will never be enough.
So give them blood, blood, blood.
Grab a glass because there's going to be a flood!

A celebrated man amongst the gurneys.
They can fix me proper with a bit of luck.
The doctors and the nurses they adore me so,
But it's really quite alarming cause I'm such an awful fuck. (Oh thank you!)

I gave you blood, blood, gallons of the stuff,
I gave you all that you can drink and it has never been enough.
I gave you blood, blood, blood,
I'm the kind of human wreckage that you love.

The Sharpest Lives

Well it rains and it pours
When you're out on your own
If I crash on the couch
Can I sleep in my clothes?
'Cause I've spent the night dancing
I'm drunk, I suppose
If it looks like I'm laughing
I'm really just asking to leave

This alone, you're in time for the show
You're the one that I need
I'm the one that you loathe
You can watch me corrode like a beast in repose
'Cause I love all the poison
Away with the boys in the band

I've really been on a bender and it shows
So why don't you blow me a kiss before she goes?

Give me a shot to remember
And you can take all the pain away from me
A kiss and I will surrender
The sharpest lives are the deadliest to lead
A light to burn all the empires
So bright the sun is ashamed to rise and be
In love with all of these vampires
So you can leave like the sane abandoned me

There's a place in the dark where the animals go
You can take off your skin in the cannibal glow
Juliet loves the beat and the lust it commands
Drop the dagger and lather the blood on your hands, Romeo

I've really been on a bender and it shows
So why don't you blow me a kiss before she goes?

Give me a shot to remember
And you can take all the pain away from me
A kiss and I will surrender
The sharpest lives are the deadliest to lead
A light to burn all the empires
So bright the sun is ashamed to rise and be
In love with all of these vampires
So you can leave like the sane abandoned me

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 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."

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 your dead and gone believe me
Your memory will carry on,
You'll carry on,
and in my heart I cant contain it,
the anthem wont 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,
lets shout it loud and clear.
Do you fight it to the end, we hear the call

to 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 wiery widow marches

on and on we carry through the fears.
ooh oh ohhhh

Dissapointed faces of your peers.
ooh 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. ---/
And though you try, you'll never break me.
You want it all, you wanna play this part.

I won't explain, or say I'm sorry.
Im not ashamed, I'm gonna show my scar.
You're the chair, for all the broken.
Listen here, because it's only..

I'm just a man, I'm not a hero.
Just a boy, who wans to sing this song.
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 wiery widow marches on---

Do or die, you'll never make me
Because the world, will never take my heart.
And though you try, you'll never break me.
You want it all,(We'll carry on---) you wanna play this part.

Do or die, you'll never make me
Because the world,(We'll carry on---) will never take my heart.
And though you try, you'll never break me.
You want it all,(We'll carry on---) you wanna play this part.

I Don't Love You

When you go
Don't ever think I'll make you try to stay
And maybe when you get back
I'll be off to find another way

And after all this time that you still owe
You're still the good-for-nothing I am not
So take your gloves and get out
Better get out
While you can

When you go
Would you even turn to say
"I don't love you
Like I did
Yesterday"

Sometimes I cry so hard from pleading
So sick and tired of all the needless needing
But baby when they knock you
Down and out
It's where you oughta stay

And after all the blood that you still owe
Another dollar's just another loan
So fix your eyes and get up
Better get up
While you can

When you go
Would you even turn to say
"I don't love you
Like I did
Yesterday"

When you go
Would you have the guts to say
"I don't love you
Like I loved you
Yesterday"

I don't love you
Like I loved you
Yesterday

I don't love you
Like I loved you
Yesterday

House Of Wolves

I know a thing about contrition
'Cause I got enough to say
And I'll be grantin' your permission
Cause you haven't got a prayer
I said, hey hallelujah
Well come on, sing the praise
Let the spirit come on through ya
We got innocence for days

Well I think I’m gonna burn in hell
Everybody burn the house right down
She says well, what I wanna say
Tell me I’m an angel
Take this to my grave
Tell me I’m a bad man
Kick me like a slave
Tell me I’m an angel
Take this to my grave

Well a ring around the ambulance
Like I never gave a care
I said, choir boys surround you
It's a compliment, I swear
I said, ashes to ashes, we all fall down
I wanna hear you sing the praise
I said, ashes to ashes, we all fall down
We got innocence for days

Well I think I’m gonna burn in hell
Everybody burn the house right down
She says, yeah, what I wanna say
Tell me I’m an angel
Take this to my grave
Tell me I’m a bad man
Kick me like a slave
Tell me I’m an angel
Take this to my grave

You better run like the devil,
Cause they’re never gonna leave you

You better hide ‘em in the alley
Cause they’re never gonna find you a home

And as the blood runs down the walls
You see me creepin' up these halls

We're bad motherfuckers
We're bad motherfuckers

Well I should say, what I wanna say
Tell me I’m an angel
Take this to my grave
Tell me I’m a bad man
Kick me like a slave
Tell me I’m an angel
Take this to my grave

Tell me I’m a bad man, bad man… man
Tell me I’m a bad man, bad man… man

Cancer

Turn away
If you could get me a drink
Of water cause my lips are chapped and faded
Call my aunt marie
Help her gather all my things
And bury me
In all my favorite colors,
My sisters and my brothers, still,
I will not kiss you,

Cause the hardest part of this,
Is leaving you.

Now turn away,
Cause I'm awful just to see
Cause all my hair's abandoned all my body,
All my agony,
Know that I will never marry,
Baby, I'm just soggy from the chemo,
But counting down the days to go.
It just ain't living

And I just hope you know,
That if you say,
Good-bye today,
I'd ask you to be true,

Cause the hardest part of this,
Is leaving you...

Cause the hardest part of death,
Is leaving you...

Mama

Mama we all go to hell.
Mama we all go to hell.
I'm writing this letter and wishing you well.
Mama we all go to hell.

Mama we're all gonna die.
Mama we're all gonna die.
Stop asking me questions, I hate to see you cry.
Mama we're all gonna die.

And when we go don't blame us, yeah,
We let the fire just fade/flame us, yeah,
You made us oh so famous
We’ll never let you go.
And when you go don't return to me my love.

Mama we're all full of lies.
Mama we're meant for the flies.
And right now they're building a coffin your size.
Mama we're all full of lies.

Well mother what the war did to my legs and to my tongue,
You shoulda raised a baby girl
I shoulda been a better son
If you could counter the infection they can amputate it once
You should’ve been
I could've been a better son.

And when we go don't blame us, yeah,
We let the fire just fade/flame us yeah,
You made us all so famous,
We'll never let you go.

She said you’ll pay, oh son of mine.
For what you've done there
You’ll find a place for you
And just you mind your manners when you go.

And when you go don't return to me my love,
That's right.

Mama we all go to hell,
Mama we all go to hell,
It’s really quite pleasant except for the smell,
Mama we all go to hell.

Mama, Mama, Mama, ohhhh.
Mama, Mama, Mama.

Liza: and just who would call me a sweet heart, and maybe then see you a son?

Gerard: But the shit that I've done with this spark of a gun,
You will cry us to rise up alive.

We’re dead after all.
Through fortune and fame/blame we fall.
And if you can say that I’ll show you the way
And straight from the ashes you crawl.

We all carry on
Like our brothers in arms [who run from…?]
So raise your guns high for tomorrow we die
And turn from the ashes you [run? probably not. help?]

Sleep

Some say, now suffer all the children
And walk away a savior,
Or a madman and polluted
From gutter institutions.
Don't you breathe for me,
Undeserving of your sympathy,
Cause there ain't no way that I'm sorry for what I did.

And through it all
How could you cry for me?
Cause I don't feel bad about it.
So shut your eyes,
Kiss me goodbye,
And sleep.
Just sleep.

The hardest part is letting go of
Your dreams.

A drink for the horror that I'm in,
For the good guys, and the bad guys,
For the monsters that I've been.
Three cheers for tyranny,
Unapologetic apathy,
Cause there ain't no way that I'm coming back again.

And through it all
How could you cry for me?
Cause I don't feel bad about it.
So shut your eyes,
Kiss me goodbye,
And sleep.
Just sleep.

The hardest parts
The awful things that I've seen.

Just sleep.
Just sleep.
Just sleep.
Just sleep.
Just sleep.
Just sleep.

[Screaming:] Wake up!

Teenagers

and keep an eye on you son
so they can watch all the things you do

they gonna give you a smirk
cause they got methods
of keeping you clean
they're gonna rip out your heads
your aspirations to shreads
another caught in the murder machine

so darken your clothes
or strike a violent pose
maybe they'll leave you alone
but not me
