  • 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 (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 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 Writer/s: JAMES CULPEPPER, JARED HARTMANN, KIRKPATRICK SEALS, LACEY NICOLE STURM, SAMEER BHATTACHARYA
