Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Code arrives wearing designer clothes, no tags to show its home
Third-party treasures locked in vaults, their secrets carved in chrome
Your SBOM's a puzzle missing half the crucial manuscript
While boardroom whispers guard the truth of every cryptic script

[Chorus]
Behind the mask we sanitize, redact and classify
S-B-O-M means See Beyond Our Mystery
Prop-ri-e-tary shadows dance where sunlight cannot pry
Dependencies wear disguise, but auditors still try

[Verse 2]
Internal libraries swim upstream through corporate firewalls tight
Version numbers scrubbed away like fingerprints at night
Compliance officers juggling flames of disclosure versus stealth
While hackers mine the metadata for digital commonwealth

[Chorus]
Behind the mask we sanitize, redact and classify
S-B-O-M means See Beyond Our Mystery
Prop-ri-e-tary shadows dance where sunlight cannot pry
Dependencies wear disguise, but auditors still try

[Bridge]
Vulnerability scanners knock on doors that won't unlock
Supply chain mapping hits the walls of intellectual stock
Balance transparency with trade secrets in the vault
When regulators come to call, who carries all the fault?

[Verse 3]
Hash the names but keep the risk assessment crystal sharp
Document the architecture while guarding every part
Tiered access controls decide which eyes can pierce the veil
Your software bill of materials tells a redacted tale

[Chorus]
Behind the mask we sanitize, redact and classify
S-B-O-M means See Beyond Our Mystery
Prop-ri-e-tary shadows dance where sunlight cannot pry
Dependencies wear disguise, but auditors still try

[Outro]
Mask the source but map the threat
Corporate secrets, safety net
SBOM wisdom, don't forget
Transparency with no regret
