[Verse 1] When black swans circle overhead Don't bury what you've learned in dread Some risks we cannot dodge or flee Acceptance needs a strategy Map the damage, know the scope Document what lies beyond your hope Bounded truth beats false precision Crystal-eyed risk recognition [Chorus] Four pillars hold acceptance strong Characterize what could go wrong Exhaust alternatives first Authority when things get worst Monitor the sleeping giant Keep your vigil, stay compliant CEAM - remember the frame Continuity's not a game [Verse 2] Transfer failed and mitigation's broke Avoidance is a costly joke Only then can you decide To let that sleeping risk reside Document every option tried Show the board you haven't lied Middle managers step aside C-suite owns what can't be denied [Chorus] Four pillars hold acceptance strong Characterize what could go wrong Exhaust alternatives first Authority when things get worst Monitor the sleeping giant Keep your vigil, stay compliant CEAM - remember the frame Continuity's not a game [Bridge] Thresholds trigger, dashboards gleam Quarterly reviews redeem Yesterday's acceptance fades Tomorrow brings new masquerades Governance levels must align Board decides the bottom line Named accountability Ownership's transparency [Chorus] Four pillars hold acceptance strong Characterize what could go wrong Exhaust alternatives first Authority when things get worst Monitor the sleeping giant Keep your vigil, stay compliant CEAM - remember the frame Continuity's not a game [Outro] Black swans nest in acceptance wise Four pillars supporting enterprise CEAM your framework, test your ground When rare disasters come around
