Lyrics
We can't be oblivious,
We cannot be unaware
We are not ignorant,
We are not uninformed
Blood in our hearts,
Blood in our hearts symbolizing emotions
Blood on our hands,
Blood on our hands representing guilt or responsibility
We're human, we reason, we're breathing,
We, as humans, think and breathe
Protecting the living and dying, surviving,
Protecting life, facing death, surviving
We're trying to breathe in safety,
Struggling for safety, trying to breathe
Come home safely
Yearning for the safe return home
Mercy screams it's violent love,
Mercy passionately expresses love through violence
Justice and mercy, justice and mercy,
Emphasizing the intertwining of justice and mercy
The depth of us created for,
We are designed for the concept of justice and mercy
Justice and mercy, justice and mercy,
Reiterating the connection between justice and mercy
This is where they kiss
Symbolic expression of unity between justice and mercy
Life here sacrificed,
Life sacrificed for a cause
Someone who paid the price,
Someone paid the price for a greater purpose
Blood in our hearts,
Reiteration of emotions tied to justice and mercy
Blood on our hands,
Guilt or responsibility acknowledged
We cry out, we're fighting, it's warfare, we're dying,
Engaged in a battle, facing death, struggling
Believing we're winning, it's ending, we're singing,
Believing in victory, singing amidst challenges
It's already done, we've overcome
Confidence in overcoming difficulties
Mercy screams it's violent love,
Mercy expressed with intense, violent love
Justice and mercy, justice and mercy,
Justice and mercy intertwined once more
The depth of us created for,
Highlighting the inherent depth within us for justice and mercy
Justice and mercy, justice and mercy,
Reaffirmation of the connection between justice and mercy
This is where they kiss
Symbolic expression of unity once again
With a life on the line (Fire!),
Life at stake, potential for transformation (Fire!)
That consumes or refines (Fire!),
Fire symbolizing a force that can either consume or refine
To ascent or decline, to retreat or to climb,
Choices between ascent or decline, retreat or climb
Out of sight, out of mind 'til attacked from behind.
Dangers hidden until suddenly attacked
Will this fire resume or refine?
Questioning if the intensity will resume or transform
Mercy screams it's violent love,
Mercy's love expressed with intensity
Justice and mercy, justice and mercy,
Justice and mercy intertwined, echoing the theme
The depth of us created for,
Recognition of the depth within us designed for justice and mercy
Justice and mercy, justice and mercy,
Reiteration of the inseparable connection between justice and mercy
And this is where they kiss
Symbolic representation of unity once more
