Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Peter Shor cracked the fortress wide
Factoring giants quantum-style
Superposition holds the key
Numbers dancing, wild and free
Period hunting through the maze
Exponential shortcuts blaze

[Chorus]
Shor breaks locks, Grover seeks
Oracle whispers what it speaks
Fourier transforms the phase
Amplitude amplifies the ways
Harvest now, decrypt tomorrow
Mosca counts our time of sorrow

[Verse 2]
Hidden periods hide in plain sight
Quantum Fourier brings them light
Frequencies emerge from noise
Mathematical quantum poise
Modular arithmetic's domain
Classical crypto feels the strain

[Chorus]
Shor breaks locks, Grover seeks
Oracle whispers what it speaks
Fourier transforms the phase
Amplitude amplifies the ways
Harvest now, decrypt tomorrow
Mosca counts our time of sorrow

[Verse 3]
Grover searches unstructured space
Square root speedup wins the race
Oracle function marks the prize
Hidden in quantum state's disguise
Amplitude rotation's clever trick
Database mining lightning quick

[Bridge]
Store encrypted secrets deep
While quantum computers sleep
But when they wake, the harvest starts
Ripping old encryption apart
Mosca's theorem draws the line
When quantum threats cross yours and mine

[Chorus]
Shor breaks locks, Grover seeks
Oracle whispers what it speaks
Fourier transforms the phase
Amplitude amplifies the ways
Harvest now, decrypt tomorrow
Mosca counts our time of sorrow

[Outro]
Algorithms armed and ready
Classical defenses unsteady
The quantum storm approaches near
Time to evolve or disappear
