Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Quantum computers storm the gates, breaking RSA's reign
Classical defenses crumble, algorithms in pain
Post-quantum cryptography rises from the mathematical deep
Lattice problems guard our secrets, where quantum giants weep

[Chorus]
Build the fortress, stack the lattices high
ML-KEM and ML-DSA reach toward the sky
Hash trees branching, codes correcting flaws
Crypto agility when quantum law comes calling
Hybrid systems bridge the gap we're crawling

[Verse 2]
FIPS two-oh-three encapsulates the keys we need
Module learning with errors plants the cryptographic seed
Shortest vector problems twist through dimensional maze
While closest vector puzzles blur in computational haze

[Chorus]
Build the fortress, stack the lattices high
ML-KEM and ML-DSA reach toward the sky
Hash trees branching, codes correcting flaws
Crypto agility when quantum law comes calling
Hybrid systems bridge the gap we're crawling

[Verse 3]
FIPS two-oh-four signatures verify with crystal math
Dilithium crystals forge the post-quantum aftermath
Hash-based schemes cascade through Merkle's branching scheme
SLH-DSA constructs what FIPS two-oh-five deems

[Bridge]
HQC corrects the errors in transmitted streams
Hamming quasi-cyclic fulfills our coding dreams
Agility transforms when algorithms must bend
Hybrid protocols ensure we never reach the end

[Chorus]
Build the fortress, stack the lattices high
ML-KEM and ML-DSA reach toward the sky
Hash trees branching, codes correcting flaws
Crypto agility when quantum law comes calling
Hybrid systems bridge the gap we're crawling

[Outro]
When quantum dawn arrives with computational might
These defenses hold the line through algorithmic night
Post-quantum sentinels guard what must survive
The cryptographic future keeps our data alive
