[Verse 1]
Your database sleeps in Frankfurt tonight
While processors hum in Singapore's glow
But when the subpoena lands on your desk
Which courthouse decides what you can know?
Three separate kingdoms rule your cloud
Location, processing, legal ground
Don't assume geography protects
When lawyers circle what you've found
[Chorus]
Bits don't bend the law, no matter where they roam
Data crosses borders but jurisdiction follows home
Key management sovereignty, customer holds the throne
HSM separation keeps the secrets you own
Bits don't bend the law, bits don't bend the law
[Verse 2]
Hardware security modules locked down tight
Your keys live separate from their gaze
But if your admin team spans continents
Different badges unlock different ways
Prague engineers and Portland ops
Access controls draw boundary lines
Monitor every privileged touch
Log the who and when and why
[Chorus]
Bits don't bend the law, no matter where they roam
Data crosses borders but jurisdiction follows home
Key management sovereignty, customer holds the throne
HSM separation keeps the secrets you own
Bits don't bend the law, bits don't bend the law
[Bridge]
Duty separation, no single soul
Commands the castle and guards the gate
Offshore talent, onshore rules
Audit trails seal every fate
[Verse 3]
Mumbai midnight, London dawn
Your global workforce never sleeps
But when compliance auditors knock
Check which passport your admin keeps
Geofence the critical operations
Nationality matters more than skill
Technical borders, legal borders
Both can break or both can kill
[Chorus]
Bits don't bend the law, no matter where they roam
Data crosses borders but jurisdiction follows home
Key management sovereignty, customer holds the throne
HSM separation keeps the secrets you own
Bits don't bend the law, bits don't bend the law
[Outro]
Frankfurt, Singapore, Prague, Maine
Every node obeys the chain
Bits don't bend the law
Bits don't bend the law
