[Verse 1] Ancient scribes carved symbols deep in stone Today we face the same translation woes OWL syntax screams in cryptic tongues unknown While compliance officers scratch their skulls and froze Semantic webs were promised golden dreams But hieroglyphs remain what no one reads [Chorus] Hieroglyphs to management eyes Formal notation that mystifies OWL-DL locks us in a cage Can't count or sum upon this stage Zero adoption tells the tale When symbols speak, the message fails [Verse 2] Decidability comes with heavy cost Arithmetic expressions can't be expressed Complex aggregation rules are lost When formal limits put your logic to the test Years of research built these ivory towers While real compliance needs more earthly powers [Chorus] Hieroglyphs to management eyes Formal notation that mystifies OWL-DL locks us in a cage Can't count or sum upon this stage Zero adoption tells the tale When symbols speak, the message fails [Bridge] Machine-readable knowledge was the dream A web of wisdom flowing crystal clean But betting infrastructure on this scheme Carries risks that few have ever seen Ecosystem gaps grow wider still Theory thrives while practice pays the bill [Verse 3] SWRL extensions try to patch the holes But readability sinks beneath the waves Compliance professionals have different goals They need tools that actually behave Production systems tell a clearer story Academic beauty fades without the glory [Chorus] Hieroglyphs to management eyes Formal notation that mystifies OWL-DL locks us in a cage Can't count or sum upon this stage Zero adoption tells the tale When symbols speak, the message fails [Outro] Translation gaps persist between the worlds Where formal meets the practical domain Until we bridge what theory has unfurled These hieroglyphs will cause nothing but pain
