justice and mercy

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

you're 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 death of us created for

justice. and mercy

justice. and mercy

this is where they kiss

life

here sacrificed

someone who payed 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 death of us created for

justice. and mercy

justice. and mercy

this is where they kiss

with a life on the line

that consumes or refines

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 death of us created for

justice. and mercy

justice. and mercy

this is where they kiss
