A música Welcome to the Black Parade do My Chemical Romance fala sobre um personagem chamado The Patient que morre e é levado para o além pelo desfile negro, uma alusão à Morte. A música faz parte de um álbum conceitual que explora a vida, a morte, e a ressurreição através dos olhos deste personagem. Foi inspirada nas memórias de infância do vocalista Gerard Way e no impacto da morte do avô.
