Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Map your empire, trace each strand
Systems humming, supply chains planned
Currency flows and rules that bind
What fragile threads are intertwined?

[Chorus]
Ninety days of silence, what survives the void?
Systems, Supplies, Rules, Currency deployed
Ask the haunting question, let assumptions fall
"What if this stops existing?" - scrutinize them all
Map your Black Swan exposure, chart the hidden cost
Document what crumbles when connections are lost

[Verse 2]
Server farms that host your soul
Third-party APIs you can't control
Cloud providers, payment gates
What collapses when each one breaks?

[Chorus]
Ninety days of silence, what survives the void?
Systems, Supplies, Rules, Currency deployed
Ask the haunting question, let assumptions fall
"What if this stops existing?" - scrutinize them all
Map your Black Swan exposure, chart the hidden cost
Document what crumbles when connections are lost

[Verse 3]
Raw materials, factory floors
Shipping routes and vendor stores
Single sources, bottleneck lanes
What dissolves when nothing remains?

[Bridge]
Regulatory scaffolds prop your trade
Banking rails where profits are made
Each assumption built on sand
Vanish like footprints from the land

[Chorus]
Ninety days of silence, what survives the void?
Systems, Supplies, Rules, Currency deployed
Ask the haunting question, let assumptions fall
"What if this stops existing?" - scrutinize them all
Map your Black Swan exposure, chart the hidden cost
Document what crumbles when connections are lost

[Outro]
Taxonomy revealing every fault line drawn
Prepare for what you've never planned upon
