[Verse 1]
Behind the castle walls, the drawbridge stays up high
Every visitor must prove they belong inside
No assumptions made, no shortcuts through the gate
Authorization first, then access - never late
[Chorus]
Lock it down by default, keys for those approved
Document every exception, every privilege proved
Deny deny deny, until you verify
Default closed doors, that's how secure systems fly
[Verse 2]
Sarah from accounting needs the payroll file
But first her credentials travel through the style
Of verification layers, checking every claim
Anonymous gets nothing, only proven names
[Chorus]
Lock it down by default, keys for those approved
Document every exception, every privilege proved
Deny deny deny, until you verify
Default closed doors, that's how secure systems fly
[Bridge]
Explicit authorization, never assume trust
Written documentation, compliance is a must
Configure your defenses with the vault door sealed
Only open passages when identity's revealed
[Verse 3]
Database connections reject the mystery call
Network ports stay shuttered, firewalls block them all
Until the proper handshake proves you're meant to be
Inside the sacred chambers of our company
[Chorus]
Lock it down by default, keys for those approved
Document every exception, every privilege proved
Deny deny deny, until you verify
Default closed doors, that's how secure systems fly
[Outro]
When in doubt, shut it out
Let the worthy prove their route
Fail-safe means the gate stays closed
Till the right credentials are disclosed
