[Verse 1]
There's a storm coming in the digital night
Shor's algorithm breaking codes left and right
Like an Oreo cookie, it's a hybrid design
Classical-quantum-classical, crossing the line
Factors big integers in polynomial time
RSA and ECC, no longer prime
[Chorus]
The patient thief is watching, harvest now decrypt later
Square root assassin cutting keys in half
Y2Q is coming, we know the zero day
When fourteen hundred qubits crack the math
Moscow's inequality of doom
If X plus Y beats Z, we're running out of room
[Verse 2]
Grover's got a search that cuts the work in two
Square root assassin, that's what algorithms do
AES one-twenty-eight becomes just sixty-four
Symmetric encryption ain't secure anymore
Six thousand qubits was the old estimate
But Gidney's got a plan that seals our fate
[Chorus]
The patient thief is watching, harvest now decrypt later
Square root assassin cutting keys in half
Y2Q is coming, we know the zero day
When fourteen hundred qubits crack the math
Moscow's inequality of doom
If X plus Y beats Z, we're running out of room
[Bridge]
Five days to break what took us years to build
Shelf life plus migration time
Better be less than quantum's climb
The threat landscape is shifting fast
Our current crypto will not last
[Chorus]
The patient thief is watching, harvest now decrypt later
Square root assassin cutting keys in half
Y2Q is coming, we know the zero day
When fourteen hundred qubits crack the math
Moscow's inequality of doom
If X plus Y beats Z, we're running out of room
[Outro]
Domain one teaches us the quantum threat is real
Time to learn the next domain, post-quantum we must feel
