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 (Fire!), That consumes or refines (Fire!), To ascent or decline, to retreat or to climb, Out of sight, out of mind 'til attacked from behind. Will this fire resume 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
