Flyleaf - Justice And Mercy Lyrics

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 He sacrificed
Someone who paid the price
Blood in our hearts
Blood on our hands

We're crying, 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
(Fire)
That consumes or refines
(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
