Sanctification Parade - Dying Generation lyrics

Verse 1

Jake was a Christian from a Christian school

His life began to change as he entered public school

He thought it would be fun, but instead it was cruel

He didn't think the stuff going on was very cool

It seemed okay as the first month went by

But time went on, he watched as people died

He felt his Christian dignity start to subside

As they constantly tried to make him want to hide

Pre-Chorus 1

All they did was lied and try to misguide

And all he could do was just attempt to abide

But the pressure just got stronger

And the pain just lasted longer

The hurt was unbearable

And his life was just terrible

Chorus

We've gotta stand up and form a vocation

We've gotta reform this dying generation

Resist the temptations and restore the foundations

Killing all the lies from these misinterpretations

Verse 2

All the drugs and the violence, Jake had no clue

Of what in the world he could do

The ways of his school were so much different from his

He didn't want to stand out, his life was being quizzed

There'd never been a time like this in his life

But now he had to give up everything and fight

No matter what, he wasn't going to give into their ways

'Cause he knew that in the end, they would all have to pay

Pre-Chorus 2

All they did was lied and try to misguide

And all he could do was just attempt to abide

But the pressure just got stronger

And the pain just lasted longer

The hurt was unbearable

But God made it repairable

Chorus

We've gotta stand up and form a vocation

We've gotta reform this dying generation

Resist the temptations and restore the foundations

Killing all the lies from these misinterpretations

Bridge

The world wasn't always this Satanically twisted

But, because of the world, righteous ways were not persisted

This generation transformed these truths to fiction

All these addictions have caused so much affliction

As Christians, we need to stand and lead an example

And repair the things which the devil has trampled

Restore the world's values to what they used to be

And save this dying generation so it can be free

Guitar Solo

Chorus

We've gotta stand up and form a vocation

We've gotta reform this dying generation

Resist the temptations and restore the foundations

Killing all the lies from these misinterpretations
