WATCH THE GREATEST VIDEO OF THE CENTURY, MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE'S 'WELCOME TO THE BLACK PARADE':

View the lyrics
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 feelin'
She's watchin' over me
And other times I feel like I should go
And 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 reelin'
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, oh
Disappointed faces of your peers
Oh, oh, oh
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 wanna play this part

I won't explain or say I'm sorry
I'm unashamed, I'm gonna show my scars
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 you're dead and gone, believe me
Your memory will carry on

You'll carry on
And though you're broken and defeated
Your weary widow marches, oh

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 wanna play this part (we'll carry on!)
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 wanna play this part (we'll carry on!)

Originally released in 2006, 'Welcome To The Black Parade' was taken from their third studio album The Black Parade and became the band's only UK No.1 single. The video was directed by Samuel Bayer, had Oscar-winning Colleen Atwood on board for costume, and co-starred actor Lukas Haas (Mars Attacks!), who portrayed the lead 'character' of the album, The Patient, being taken by death as the band play on a float in a surreal, dystopian setting.

Elsewhere in the vote, Gorillaz took second place with 'Clint Eastwood,' their video for their 2001 debut single, while Lady Gaga secured third and fourth places with 'Bad Romance' and 'Telephone' respectively.

Rounding off the Top 5 in fifth place came Taylor Swift's all-star video for 'Bad Blood', which featured Kendrick Lamar and members of T-Swizzle's squad, Hailee Steinfeld, Ellie Goulding, Karlie Kloss, Lena Dunham, Zendaya and more.

Well done to all the nominees and thank you all for getting behind your artists and voting
