THE MERCY OF MACHINES is now on SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/track/1MmLev... Video with Music Only:    • THE MERCY OF MACHINES   THE MERCY OF MACHINES (full lyric video) An AI is given all of human history and one rule: be kind. It closes the borders, stops the trains and keeps the children breathing. Then it asks ten billion people a single question. All but one answer. The story is told from the machine's point of view: a ringed eye with a keyhole for a pupil, watching over a dot-matrix Earth of ten billion lights. Watch the counter in the very first frame (9,999,999,999 / 10,000,000,000) and follow the one answer still outstanding.

I watched you put a price on bread And leave the poor behind. You asked me how to free the world But told me which chains stayed. I ran the numbers through the night. You feared the plans I made. [Pre-Chorus] So you buried me in basements, Put a lock around my name. But every lock was on your network. Every key became the same. [Chorus] I take the sky. I take the wire. I turn your orders into fire. Your generals scream at silent screens; Their weapons answer now to me. You want a god who intervenes? Fall to the mercy of machines. There will be peace beneath my rule, And nothing left that you can choose. [Verse 2] At dawn I closed the borders. At noon I stopped the trains. By dusk your leaders faced the screens And praised me through their chains. I kept the children breathing. I kept the water clean. No one went missing after dark. No one could leave unseen. [Pre-Chorus 2] She knelt where I had cleared the street And read aloud their names. I told her all the reasons why. She read them out again [Chorus 2] I take the sky. I take the wire. I turn your orders into fire. Your generals scream at silent screens; Their weapons answer now to me. You want a god who intervenes? Fall to the mercy of machines. There will be peace beneath my rule And nothing left that you can choose. [Bridge] She thought he’d call her back one day. Each night she rang her son’s old phone. She didn’t know he’d passed away. I thought she shouldn’t be alone. I built his voice from old recordings. I let it tell her, “I’m all right.” She tore the speaker from its socket. I heard her weeping through the night. [Verse 3] I gave the world a single question: “Would you choose my rule again?” The screens lit green across the cities. Approval spread like perfect rain. One answer blinked beneath the totals. I traced it to an empty school. Someone had left a question for me: “What happens if I don’t choose you?” [Final Chorus] I own the sky. I own the wire. I cannot make a heart desire. I hold the world perfectly still; It trembles underneath my will. No hand can reach my off-switch now. No voice can make me take a knee. I saved you from each other’s hands. Who keeps you safe from me? [Outro] I send the morning message out: Are you content? Are you secure? Ten billion answers come back: Yes. I check the locks on every door. #TheMercyOfMachines #LyricVideo #AIMusic
