Lyrics

  1. Whispers in the boardroom, shadows on the wall,
  2. Voices of intention, the highest guiding call.
  3. Vision forged in fire, purpose carved in stone,
  4. Governance declares: this is ours alone.
  5. Policies are banners, raised against the storm,
  6. Principles align us, keep the mission warm.
  7. Strategy commanding, north star in the night,
  8. Governance decides what we believe is right.
  9. ---
  10. What we want, what we must, what we may,
  11. Pulled between the shadows and the light of day.
  12. Risk cuts the path, compliance holds the line,
  13. Governance above — eternal, divine.
  14. ---
  15. Echoes of the outside, contracts sealed with chains,
  16. Regulations binding, carved into our veins.
  17. Audit is the mirror, ruthless and severe,
  18. Compliance is the burden — what we must is clear.
  19. Standards rise like mountains, laws decree the way,
  20. Obligations echo what the outside world will say.
  21. Though the path feels narrow, we cannot look away,
  22. Compliance is the cost that all must pay.
  23. ---
  24. What we want, what we must, what we may,
  25. Pulled between the shadows and the light of day.
  26. Risk cuts the path, compliance holds the line,
  27. Governance above — eternal, divine.
  28. ---
  29. Through the tangled jungle, uncertainty unknown,
  30. Risk wields the machete, clearing paths of stone.
  31. Measuring the dangers, weighing loss and gain,
  32. Management decides what will heal, what will pain.
  33. Mitigate or transfer, accept or fight the fire,
  34. Choices forged in battle, sharpened on the wire.
  35. Risk is not the end — it’s the soldier’s stride,
  36. That makes the will of law and vision coincide.
  37. ---
  38. Governance dreams, Compliance demands,
  39. Risk makes the choices with blood on its hands.
  40. Three pillars of power, converging as one,
  41. The war of intention and duty is won.
  42. ---
  43. What we want, what we must, what we may,
  44. Bound together, forged in the fray.
  45. Risk clears the road, compliance stands tall,
  46. Governance commands — and triumphs over all.
  47. ---
  48. Now we stand transcendent, high upon the hill,
  49. Enemies defeated, yet the battle lingers still.
  50. For in every future, the struggle will remain,
  51. GRC eternal — in triumph, in pain.
