Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Fresh OS spinning up, virgin disk awaiting transformation
Windows Server breathing clean or RHEL installation
Time to forge our golden armor, pixel-perfect configuration
STIG compliance carved in silicon, organizational foundation

[Chorus]
Build it bulletproof, scan and certify
SCAP will tell the truth, vulnerabilities die
Document what remains, snapshot crystallized
Gold baseline sustains what security buys

[Verse 2]
Manual tweaks or automation playbooks running silent
Registry keys locked down tight, permissions compliant
Each checkbox marked and verified, protocols violent
Against the chaos of default settings, security tyrant

[Chorus]
Build it bulletproof, scan and certify
SCAP will tell the truth, vulnerabilities die
Document what remains, snapshot crystallized
Gold baseline sustains what security buys

[Bridge]
Residual findings logged with rationale clear
Business justification when risks appear
Template immaculate, deployments steer
From this perfect moment, architecture's premier

[Verse 3]
Snapshot captures every hardened byte and configuration
Clone this fortress, multiply the trusted installation
DISA standards breathing life through systematic validation
Gold image gleaming, organizational salvation

[Chorus]
Build it bulletproof, scan and certify
SCAP will tell the truth, vulnerabilities die
Document what remains, snapshot crystallized
Gold baseline sustains what security buys

[Outro]
Laboratory five complete, golden template sealed
Every future server born from standards we've revealed
