Justice & Mercy

We can't be oblivious

We are not ignorant

Blood in our hearts

And 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

And 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

A 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 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
