[Verse 1] Classical keys are crumbling fast, RSA's final breath Shor's algorithm cuts through math like quantum scythe through death Elliptic curves once fortress-strong now paper thin and weak When qubits dance in superposed states, our secrets start to leak [Chorus] Post-quantum armor, shields for tomorrow's war Lattice problems, hash functions at the core When quantum dawn breaks through encryption's night NIST algorithms keep our data sealed tight Crystal structures, isogeny maze Multivariate puzzles through the quantum haze [Verse 2] Discrete logs dissolve like sugar when quantum circuits hum Integer factorization becomes a trivial sum Timeline marches twenty-thirty, maybe sooner still Cryptographically relevant machines will climb that hill [Chorus] Post-quantum armor, shields for tomorrow's war Lattice problems, hash functions at the core When quantum dawn breaks through encryption's night NIST algorithms keep our data sealed tight Crystal structures, isogeny maze Multivariate puzzles through the quantum haze [Bridge] Learning with errors, shortest vector quest Code-based McEliece puts Grover to test Symmetric keys just double up their size While public schemes need mathematical disguise [Verse 3] CRYSTALS-KYBER for encapsulation strength CRYSTALS-DILITHIUM signatures at length Falcon's compact, SPHINCS builds on hashes Migration starts before the old world crashes [Final Chorus] Post-quantum armor, shields for tomorrow's war Lattice problems, hash functions at the core Hybrid solutions bridge the crypto divide Till quantum-safe standards become our guide Crystal structures, isogeny maze Security rebuilt for quantum days
