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 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 (the 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.
