Now have we seen this light for the last time
They're turning back the clock and we won't survive
On just hope this time
They slowly break us down from the inside
And force a way of life we don't recognise
And free will has died
We take our breath for the last time
We'll give it one more cry before they burn a hole
In our hearts again

We saw it coming, this black parade when will it end
Oh you and I both know, this black parade on fear depends
We can fight it but we can't pretend

Khaste nasho, parvaz kon (don't get tired, fly)
Ey khaste mooned too ghafas (hey, the tired one in the cage)
Parvaz kon ta ke manam ba to ham avaz ham nafas (fly until I sing and breathe with you)

The turbans reign supreme over virtue
You cannot lift your veil or speak the truth
They promise nothing but keep that bar held high for you

We saw it coming, this black parade will forge ahead
Oh you and I both know, this black parade
The demon's edge
We will fight it with our dying breath

And now they've pumped the masses full of rage
We're going to light some fires
We're going to burn the stage
The lightning is coming, the marchers will fall
Fall

Khaste nasho, khaste nasho, sokooteto faryad kon (don't get tired, don't get tired, shout loud your silence)
Ta mano dari, khodeto az in ghafas azad kon (until you've got me, free yourself from this cage)

We saw it coming, this black parade will meet its end
Oh you and I both know, this black parade, it's good as dead
We will fight until the streets turn red
This black parade will meet its end
Oh you and I both know, this black parade, it's good as dead
We will fight until the streets turn red

Faryad kon (shout)
Parvaz kon (fly)
We will fight until the streets turn red
