Flyleaf - Justice and Mercy lyrics
[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 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, 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 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
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, 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 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
