Can we discuss the song in question?
The story line is an Atheists view of the afterlife. The concept album is about a character (named the patient) who died of cancer. His fondest memory is of when his father took him to a marching band. So his journey to the afterlife is based around a parade. As mentioned in 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 nonbelievers?"
"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!"
...
The rest if the song is about carrying on and accepting their fate.
The cross that's on rhythm guitarist Frank Iero. You see crosses on everything! The backs of pants, purses, shirts, etc. And the people who wear it aren't Christian. So you can't instantly say that they are posers.
