Welcome to the Black Parade de My Chemical Romance cuenta la historia de El Paciente que muere y es llevado al más allá por el desfile negro, una alusión a la Muerte. Esta canción es parte de un álbum conceptual que explora la vida, la muerte y la resurrección a través de los ojos de este personaje. Fue inspirada por los recuerdos de infancia del vocalista Gerard Way y el impacto de la muerte de su abuelo.
