Flyleaf - Justice & Mercy (Violent Love version) lyrics

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 its 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 its 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 (the fire) To ascent 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 its violent love Justice and mercy, justice and mercy The depth of us created for Justice and mercy, justice and mercy And this is where they kiss
