[Verse 1]
Markets calm, portfolios gleaming bright
Then suddenly the phone rings in the night
Your hedge fund needs ten million by dawn
But half your holdings vanished like a lawn
In drought - the buyers disappeared completely
Asset liquidity bites you so sweetly
[Chorus]
Two shadows lurk in finance halls
Asset liquidity, funding calls
When stocks won't sell and cash runs dry
Liquidity risk will make you cry
Remember this financial truth
Both types can steal your golden youth
[Verse 2]
Asset risk means holdings stuck like glue
Corporate bonds that nobody will pursue
Real estate frozen, private equity trapped
Your balance sheet looks good until you're snapped
Back to reality - can't convert to cash
When liquidity evaporates in a flash
[Chorus]
Two shadows lurk in finance halls
Asset liquidity, funding calls
When stocks won't sell and cash runs dry
Liquidity risk will make you cry
Remember this financial truth
Both types can steal your golden youth
[Verse 3]
Funding risk attacks from different ground
Your credit lines get cancelled, you're unwound
Banks refuse to lend, investors flee
Short-term debt comes due, no remedy
You own the assets but can't raise the funds
Bankruptcy bullets from liquidity guns
[Bridge]
Asset side - can't sell what you own
Funding side - creditors have flown
Both will crush your operation
Starve you of capitalization
[Chorus]
Two shadows lurk in finance halls
Asset liquidity, funding calls
When stocks won't sell and cash runs dry
Liquidity risk will make you cry
Remember this financial truth
Both types can steal your golden youth
[Outro]
Plan for both, diversify your sources
Liquidity risk shows no remorse
Asset, funding - know the difference
Guard against both with vigilance
