"Bringer Of Greater Things" lyrics - PROPAGANDHI

Look at our collection of hands
Heads, and feet to see where we've been
Embrace this parody
The ending of things you can believe

We'll drive you until you're skin and bones
And when we finally reach the end
Fall into our open arms
Accept our tears of sympathy

Make way for emptiness
A descent that never ends
Until the one last living thing
Is the next thing to go

You should know by now
That we never come in peace
Endure this tragedy
Wrap yourselves in our fantasies

When you think of all you've lost
Weigh it with what you've gained in trade
We've given the greatest gift
This savior that will never rise

The bringer of greater things
Creator of brighter days

The city cops, a sub-zero night
A midnight ride out of town
The passenger was found frozen in the snow
Our enduring legacy

We bring a better way
Our handshake crushing bone
The blankets that keep you warm
We've soiled with disease

The bringer of greater things
Creator of brighter days
The hollow songs you'll sing
At the ending of your day

[Dedicated to Rodney Naistus, Neil Stonechild, and Lawrence Wegner, murdered by members of the Saskatoon Police Department.]
