[Verse 1] Picture this: eighteen months ahead in time Your company has fallen, crossed the final line Not from risks you saw or planned to face But from blind spots hidden in this place We're looking back from failure's edge To find the cracks beneath the ledge [Chorus] Pre-mortem vision, working backward now System gaps and culture flaws, we'll find them somehow What we missed, what we couldn't see Planning holes that brought us to our knees Pre-mortem vision, crystal clear Surface risks that weren't in our sphere [Verse 2] Start with failure as your given fact Then trace the path that led to this impact Not the obvious threats you've planned before But deeper issues at your core Cultural blindness in your team Vulnerabilities unforeseen [Chorus] Pre-mortem vision, working backward now System gaps and culture flaws, we'll find them somehow What we missed, what we couldn't see Planning holes that brought us to our knees Pre-mortem vision, crystal clear Surface risks that weren't in our sphere [Bridge] Ask the questions no one wants to face What assumptions led us to this place Dependencies we took for granted Seeds of failure we unknowingly planted Look beyond your standard BIA scope Find the risks that killed our hope [Verse 3] Gather round your team and play this game Imagine defeat without the shame What systemic weakness let us down What cultural patterns turned us around This exercise will show the way To black swan threats that hide today [Chorus] Pre-mortem vision, working backward now System gaps and culture flaws, we'll find them somehow What we missed, what we couldn't see Planning holes that brought us to our knees Pre-mortem vision, crystal clear Surface risks that weren't in our sphere [Outro] From failure's end to present day Pre-mortem lights the hidden way Black swan planning starts right here With vision that makes blind spots clear
