Not much is known about this song yet. It will be the next single and be aired on radios worldwide on Monday 18th May. The song was live premiered at iHeartRadio's gig in New York in May 2015. The live recording of this live debut was uploaded to SoundCloud but has since been removed.

The song contains piano octaves in the verses, similar to Starlight. It gets heavy during the build-up and in the choruses, when arppegiated synth also kicks in. The choruses are similar to those of Stockholm Syndrome. The melodies sound fairly positive, in oposition of the previous two songs of the album.

[Verse]
Pray for me, I’ve fallen on the inside
I tried to change the pain
They’ll try to infiltrate
Now I need to let it go
And though it seems to (Warm my soul)
Save me from ghost of shadows
Before they eat my soul
[Pre-Chorus]
Mercy
Mercy
[Chorus]
Show me Mercy
From the powers that be
Show me mercy
... 
[Verse 2]
I..
Decided to be/me
Though I have been hypnotised 
By a greater puppeteer
Tell me how to let it go
Though it tends to bring me down
Running from ghost of shadows
The world just feels surround 
[Pre-Chorus]
Mercy
Mercy
[Chorus]
Show me mercy
From the powers that be
Show me mercy
Can someone rescue me
Show me mercy 
Show me mercy please
[Bridge]
Help me
I’ve fallen on the inside
And I’m a … ghost
Turn into a
…
[Chorus]
Show me mercy
From the powers that be
Show me mercy
From the powers that be
Show me mercy
From the killing machines
Show me mercy 
Show me mercy
Woah
