Justice And Mercy

Flyleaf · Music As A Weapon EP [2006]

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 he sacrificed

Someone who paid the price

Blood in our hearts

Blood on our hands

We're crying, 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 (fire)

That consumes or refines (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
