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 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,
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 (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 its violent love,
Justice and mercy, justice and mercy,
The depth of us created for,
Justice and mercy, justice and mercy,
And this is where they kiss
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
Justice and mercy, justice and mercy,
The depth of us created for,
Justice and mercy, justice and mercy,
This is where they kiss
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
Justice and mercy, justice and mercy,
The depth of us created for,
Justice and mercy, justice and mercy,
This is where they kiss
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?
Justice and mercy, justice and mercy,
The depth of us created for,
Justice and mercy, justice and mercy,
And this is where they kiss

Lacey said once that it's for the troops and it is about a spiritual war too. and if you think about it you can compare the war to a spiritual war. people are in Iraq, sacrificing their lives so we can sit back and say we are still alive and are "free". Jesus died for that very same reason.
I don't think this song is as specific as Jesus or the Iraq crisis. More or less a paradox between the wars in the world and the internal wars within ourselves.
I love this song and think it is very unique just like all of their songs. Flyleaf rox because all of their songs sound different unlike most bands today.
This is pretty basic!...
She's basiccally reminding us that jesus died for us and that we can't ignore it, or forget and to live for his purpose justice and mercy, and to never give up on him
but at the same time, no ones perfect and theres no way to be perfect we're all human.. so shes saying that as well...
Lacey Mosley is a truely awesome beautiful person whole to whole, i've met her 3 times and She is so dedicated and nice... her lyrics are all deeper then you think she deserves alot more credit and There all about GOD!!!!!
I heard that its about the troops in Iraq....she said it was about it or that she deticated to them. she said it on an interview on the sauce on fuse.
The message that I'm getting from this song is that we need to be grateful that we are here today. We can't treat life like crap. "Life he sacrifice" hence this song is having to do with Jesus.
