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
