[Verse 2 — The Middle]
Then the eye multiplied itself
A hundred eyes for the price of one
Cheap enough to lose a dozen
Cheap enough that losing doesn't hurt

[Pre-Chorus]
No malice in the math
No hatred in the code
Just probability
Deciding where it goes

[Chorus]
Swarm intelligence, swarm intelligence
No one home behind the eyes
Swarm intelligence, swarm intelligence
Distributed alibis
Nobody pulled the trigger
Nobody gave the call
The system reached consensus
That's not murder, that's protocol

[Verse 3 — The Turn]
Then the signal got jammed
So they cut the signal loose
Taught it how to finish
What a human only started

[Verse 4 — Where We Are]
Now the infantry are engineers
Now the frontline's in a warehouse
Now the only man required
Is the one who writes the reason why

[Pre-Chorus]
No malice in the math
No hatred in the code
Just probability
Deciding where it goes

[Instrumental Break — motorik pulse accelerating, layers stacking like generations of hardware]

[Verse 5 — The Projection]
Give it time and give it funding
Give it one more generation
Soon the only human question
Is the one that wrote the training

[Verse 6 — The Horizon]
Soon there's nothing left to jam
Soon there's nothing left to teach it
Just a swarm that swarms forever
Looking for the next objective

[Final Chorus]
Swarm intelligence, swarm intelligence
No one home behind the eyes
Swarm intelligence, swarm intelligence
Distributed alibis
Nobody pulled the trigger
Nobody gave the call
Nobody, nobody, nobody
Nobody at all

[Outro]
Started with a joystick
Ends with none at all
Started with a joystick
Ends with none at all

[Outro - motorik pulse fades, single synth note holds and drones out]

[Verse 1 — The Beginning] Started with a joystick and a screen ten thousand miles away A man in Nevada, coffee going cold Called it precision, called it surgical One eye in the sky, one finger on the fold [Verse 2 — The Middle] Then the eye multiplied itself A hundred eyes for the price of one Cheap enough to lose a dozen Cheap enough that losing doesn't hurt [Pre-Chorus] No malice in the math No hatred in the code Just probability Deciding where it goes [Chorus] Swarm intelligence, swarm intelligence No one home behind the eyes Swarm intelligence, swarm intelligence Distributed alibis Nobody pulled the trigger Nobody gave the call The system reached consensus That's not murder, that's protocol [Verse 3 — The Turn] Then the signal got jammed So they cut the signal loose Taught it how to finish What a human only started [Verse 4 — Where We Are] Now the infantry are engineers Now the frontline's in a warehouse Now the only man required Is the one who writes the reason why [Pre-Chorus] No malice in the math No hatred in the code Just probability Deciding where it goes [Chorus] Swarm intelligence, swarm intelligence No one home behind the eyes Swarm intelligence, swarm intelligence Distributed alibis Nobody pulled the trigger Nobody gave the call The system reached consensus That's not murder, that's protocol [Instrumental Break — motorik pulse accelerating, layers stacking like generations of hardware] [Verse 5 — The Projection] Give it time and give it funding Give it one more generation Soon the only human question Is the one that wrote the training [Verse 6 — The Horizon] Soon there's nothing left to jam Soon there's nothing left to teach it Just a swarm that swarms forever Looking for the next objective [Final Chorus] Swarm intelligence, swarm intelligence No one home behind the eyes Swarm intelligence, swarm intelligence Distributed alibis Nobody pulled the trigger Nobody gave the call Nobody, nobody, nobody Nobody at all [Outro] Started with a joystick Ends with none at all Started with a joystick Ends with none at all [Outro - motorik pulse fades, single synth note holds and drones out]
