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 safety
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
