A song that starts with a bassline similar to the classic 'Photographic' by Depeche Mode and has a comparable energy can't be wrong per se. 'Justice Or Mercy' is the name of the powerful synth pop / new wave song by the Australian duo 'Syzygy' and it convinced me from the very first note.
The song is catchy, harmonic and stays in your ear right away. Nevertheless, you can hear a little rebellious electro-punk element in the sub-vibrations and in the attitude of the song. Just as was the case with many darker 80s New Wave tracks. Excellent!

Lyrics of 'Syzygy – Justice Or Mercy'
I know you only care
what others see laid bare
When you only hold yourself
to standards that are shared
Offered guilt, remorse
They have no recourse
You rely on me to grant you
your immunity
Ask yourself, is it justice or do you value mercy?
The only justice that I have is the power to take mercy
The only justice that I have is the power to put this beneath me
Living well is my justice and trust me, it’s your mercy
The lesson learned back then
To overcome it from within
Don’t just wait and hope they’ll feel
the consequence again
With mercy comes freedom
Control to choose the reason
To re-write my own story
revise my own history
Offered guilt, remorse
They have no recourse
I rely on me to prove my self sufficiency
Ask yourself, is it justice or do you value mercy?
The only justice that I have is the power to take mercy
Living well is my justice and trust me, it’s your mercy
Living well is my justice and trust me, it’s your mercy
Ask yourself
Do you value mercy?
