Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Classical keys were safe and sound
RSA and DES held their ground
But quantum bits are spinning free
Superposition's the master key
While classical computers crawl through each door
Quantum machines explore them all and more

[Chorus]
Shor's algorithm breaks the code
Grover's search will find the road
Qubits dance in parallel states
Every cipher meets its fate
Quantum threat is coming near
Classical crypto disappears

[Verse 2]
Factorization used to take
Billions of years for hackers' sake
But Shor can crack the numbers wide
In polynomial time with quantum pride
Public keys that seemed so strong
Won't protect us very long

[Chorus]
Shor's algorithm breaks the code
Grover's search will find the road
Qubits dance in parallel states
Every cipher meets its fate
Quantum threat is coming near
Classical crypto disappears

[Bridge]
Entanglement and interference
Make quantum computing fierce
Hash functions lose their power
Cut their strength by half each hour
Symmetric keys need doubling size
To survive quantum's prying eyes

[Verse 3]
AES and hashes stand their ground
But need more bits to stay secure and sound
Elliptic curves will crumble fast
Their mathematical strength won't last
We need new crypto quantum-safe
To keep our secrets in their place

[Chorus]
Shor's algorithm breaks the code
Grover's search will find the road
Qubits dance in parallel states
Every cipher meets its fate
Quantum threat is coming near
Classical crypto disappears

[Outro]
The race is on to find new ways
Before the quantum judgment day
Post-quantum crypto leads the fight
To keep our data safe from sight
