Justice and Mercy

We can't be oblivious, we are not ignorant Blood in our hearts, blood on our hands We're human, we reason, we're breathing Protecting the living, and dying, surviving, we're trying! To breathe in safety, come home safely Mercy screams it's violent love Justice and mercy Justice and mercy The depth of us created for Justice and mercy Justice and mercy This is where they kiss Life here sacrificed, someone who paid the price Blood in our hearts, blood on our hands We cry out, we're fighting, it's warfare, we're dying! Believing we're winning, it's ending, we're singing! It's already done, we've overcome Mercy screams it's violent love Justice and mercy Justice and mercy The depth of us created for Justice and mercy Justice and mercy This is where they kiss With a life on the line, the fire That consumes or refines, a fire To ascend or decline, to retreat or to climb Out of sight out of mind, 'til attacked from behind Will this fire consume or refine Mercy screams it's violent love Justice and mercy Justice and mercy The depth of us created for Justice and mercy Justice and mercy This is where they kiss
