Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Midnight patch cycle, the dashboard starts to hum
Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN, admin door left numb
Hex encoding twisted, the gatekeeper's half blind
No password needed, attacker walks in clean and refined
Unauthenticated, remote, slipping through the seam
CVE twenty-six, seventy-six-five-oh-four — breaking the dream
Admin privileges handed over like a key
Manager console open, nothing's locked, nothing's free

[Chorus]
Critical, critical, the sirens start to spin
Patch it before the hollow men get in
Four digits, one October, three threats in the wire
Cisco, Apple, Citrix — circuits catching fire
Critical, critical, don't you look away
These numbers spell the danger waiting on display

[Verse 2]
Apple's glass is cracking, CoreGraphics bends the frame
Out-of-bounds write slithers, memory ain't the same
iOS, macOS, iPadOS all feel the strain
Eighty-six-nine-five-zero running code through your brain
One image, one glitch render, and the pointer starts to drift
Arbitrary execution — total control's the gift
No warning on the lock screen, no flicker, no alarm
Just silence while a stranger's fingers wrap around your palm

[Chorus]
Critical, critical, the sirens start to spin
Patch it before the hollow men get in
Four digits, one October, three threats in the wire
Cisco, Apple, Citrix — circuits catching fire
Critical, critical, don't you look away
These numbers spell the danger waiting on display

[Verse 3]
NetScaler ADC humming, Gateway standing guard
Memory buffer bending past the boundary card
Improper restriction, bytes spill past the line
CVE eighty-eight-seven-seven-two, crossing every sign
Remote code execution or the server drops and dies
Denial of service blackout under paranoid skies
Citrix traffic stuttering, glitchy, cold, and strange
The bounds break open — nothing stays within its range

[Verse 4]
Think of all the sysadmins staring at the feed
Coffee gone cold, chasing every CVE they need
Scanners running overnight, logs stacked like a wall
Every open port a whisper, every patch a call
The hollow men don't knock, they just slide through the crack
Through hex and bounds and buffers, there's no turning back
So lock the console, seal the frame, rotate every key
Because the next zero-day is already out at sea

[Bridge]
Three vendors, one morning, the feed won't let you rest
Hex tricks, pixel glitches, buffers put to the test
Admin, kernel, gateway — every door's a question mark
Patch before the breakstep drops you back into the dark

[Outro]
Seventy-six-five-oh-four, eighty-six-nine-five-oh
Eighty-eight-seven-seven-two — now you already know
Critical, critical, the sirens start to spin
Patch tonight, lock the frame, don't let the hollow in

[Chorus]
Critical, critical, the sirens start to spin
Patch it before the hollow men get in
Four digits, one October, three threats in the wire
Cisco, Apple, Citrix — circuits catching fire
Critical, critical, don't you look away
These numbers spell the danger waiting on display
