Lyrics

[Verse 1]
From factory floor to battlefield door
Components trace their winding course
Through bridges, tunnels, ports of call
Each segment hides a breaking force
Category Eleven lurks in transit lines
Where cargo crawls through mountain passes
Railroad blockades and pipeline signs
Tell stories of where movement crashes

[Chorus]
Map the chokepoints, know your lanes
Every bottleneck that could cause you pain
When the primary route goes dark
Fire up your backup spark
Eleven's transport, Twelve's the ground
Risk profiles spinning all around
Simulate denial, test your plans
Before the crisis hits your hands

[Verse 2]
Supplier fortress stands alone
Dependent on its power grid
Category Twelve cuts to the bone
When infrastructure pyramids
Collapse beneath the weighted load
Assess the water, fuel, and wire
That keeps your critical node
From drowning in disruption's fire

[Chorus]
Map the chokepoints, know your lanes
Every bottleneck that could cause you pain
When the primary route goes dark
Fire up your backup spark
Eleven's transport, Twelve's the ground
Risk profiles spinning all around
Simulate denial, test your plans
Before the crisis hits your hands

[Bridge]
Tabletop warriors gather round
Main highway seized, what happens now?
Alternate paths must be found
Secondary routes and shipping vows
Rail to truck, air to sea
Taxonomy guides your shifting dance
Contested space demands you flee
To backup's waiting second chance

[Verse 3]
Vulnerability maps reveal
The arteries that feed your chain
Each crossing point, each shipping wheel
Could snap beneath adversary's strain
Profile every crucial site
Dependencies like spider webs
Before the storm blocks out the light
Know where your supply line ebbs

[Chorus]
Map the chokepoints, know your lanes
Every bottleneck that could cause you pain
When the primary route goes dark
Fire up your backup spark
Eleven's transport, Twelve's the ground
Risk profiles spinning all around
Simulate denial, test your plans
Before the crisis hits your hands

[Outro]
From source to user, end to end
The chain reveals its weakest links
Assessment tools become your friend
Before the whole system sinks
