[Verse 1] They're watching all the traffic flow Collecting every packet that we send Encrypted data, safe for now we know But they're playing the long game till the end Storing terabytes in silent halls Waiting for the quantum day that calls [Chorus] Harvest now, decrypt later Quantum threat, data crater Store it up, wait it out When Q-Day comes, there's no doubt Harvest now, decrypt later Today's shield becomes tomorrow's traitor [Verse 2] Your RSA and elliptic curves today Stand strong against the classical attack But Shor's algorithm will find a way To crack the keys we thought would hold them back Every secret that you send right now Could be revealed when quantum shows us how [Chorus] Harvest now, decrypt later Quantum threat, data crater Store it up, wait it out When Q-Day comes, there's no doubt Harvest now, decrypt later Today's shield becomes tomorrow's traitor [Bridge] Twenty years of secrets stored away Medical records, financial data Government plans from yesterday All waiting for that quantum beta The countdown's started, can't you see Post-quantum crypto is the key [Verse 3] So think about what you encrypt today Will it matter in two decades time If adversaries can decode and say Every detail of your paradigm Migration time is running short Quantum-safe must be our fort [Chorus] Harvest now, decrypt later Quantum threat, data crater Store it up, wait it out When Q-Day comes, there's no doubt Harvest now, decrypt later Today's shield becomes tomorrow's traitor [Outro] The harvest fields are growing wide With data from our digital lives Prepare the new cryptographic tide Before the quantum age arrives
