[Verse 1]
Three layers stack like golden rings
Business flows where value sings
Application bridges what we need
Technology beneath feeds the deed
ArchiMate maps the enterprise maze
Colors coding different ways
[Chorus]
Document the blueprint, keep it breathing
C4 models show what we're achieving
Context Container Component Code
Four views down the architect's road
Standards shine through every line
Documentation by design
[Verse 2]
Archi's free and Sparx EA
LeanIX cloud or draw-dot-io way
Tools don't matter if the thinking's wrong
Consistent notation keeps us strong
Audience drives the detail level
From boardroom brief to technical bezel
[Chorus]
Document the blueprint, keep it breathing
C4 models show what we're achieving
Context Container Component Code
Four views down the architect's road
Standards shine through every line
Documentation by design
[Bridge]
Version control the living text
Lightweight governance comes next
Review cadence keeps it fresh
Dead docs tangle in the mesh
Layered views reveal the truth
Architecture's fountain of youth
[Verse 3]
Context paints the system's place
Containers show the interface
Components break the parts apart
Code reveals the beating heart
Each level zooms another notch
Complexity under watchful watch
[Chorus]
Document the blueprint, keep it breathing
C4 models show what we're achieving
Context Container Component Code
Four views down the architect's road
Standards shine through every line
Documentation by design
[Outro]
Maintain the maps, sustain the vision
Architecture's key decision
Business Application Technology
Three layers of our legacy
