Lyrics

[Verse 1]
February morning, sirens split the air
Moscow headquarters, Kyiv office there
Legal calls erupting, sanctions shift like sand
Payment rails severing beneath our corporate hand
Swift codes vanishing, banks cut from the grid
While our Ukraine team seeks shelter where they hid

[Chorus]
Map your exposure, know your zones
Counsel ready, secure those phones
Exit triggers, who decides?
Backup comms when chaos rides
Pre-positioned, sanctions-wise
Black swan soaring through the skies

[Verse 2]
Contracts frozen solid, legally undone
Servers trapped in conflict zones, data on the run
US, EU, UK rules cascading every hour
Canada, Australia joining sanctioned power
Employee safety paramount, evacuation plans
While compliance officers hold shifting rules in hands

[Chorus]
Map your exposure, know your zones
Counsel ready, secure those phones
Exit triggers, who decides?
Backup comms when chaos rides
Pre-positioned, sanctions-wise
Black swan soaring through the skies

[Bridge]
Data sovereignty nightmares
Transfer restrictions multiply
Who's your designated decider
When the missiles streak the sky?

[Verse 3]
Those who weathered best this storm
Had their homework done before
Sanctioned entities catalogued
Decision trees behind each door
Communication networks spread
Not dependent on one thread

[Chorus]
Map your exposure, know your zones
Counsel ready, secure those phones
Exit triggers, who decides?
Backup comms when chaos rides
Pre-positioned, sanctions-wise
Black swan soaring through the skies

[Outro]
When geopolitics explode
Preparation bears the load
Ukraine taught us crystal clear
Plan before the storm draws near
