Lyrics

  1. "Out here, on the edge of the network,
  2. Supplicants whisper, they knock at the door…"
  3. Supplicant speaks in a hush of need,
  4. To the client who carries their creed.
  5. A managed switch, a VPN line,
  6. The packet says, "Please, can I sign?"
  7. RAY-dee-us? We just want in.
  8. Supplicant asks, client spins.
  9. Eight-oh-two-one-ex begins the show.
  10. RAY-dee-us server, policy flow.
  11. Can you enter? Yes or No?
  12. Policy says: Yes, you may go.
  13. Circle of trust, circumference wide,
  14. Die-AM-uh-ter cuts through side to side.
  15. Halfway in, the RAY-dee-us shows,
  16. How far the policy truly goes.
  17. RAY-dee-us? We just want in.
  18. Supplicant asks, client spins.
  19. Eight-oh-two-one-ex begins the show.
  20. RAY-dee-us server, policy flow.
  21. Can you enter? Yes or No?
  22. Policy says: Yes, you may go.
  23. Eight-oh-two-one-ex is the ritual chant,
  24. Certificates prove what passwords can’t.
  25. E-A-P rides the wire with electric grace,
  26. Seeking a server to grant it a place.
  27. RAY-dee-us? We just want in.
  28. Supplicant asks, client spins.
  29. Eight-oh-two-one-ex begins the show.
  30. RAY-dee-us server, policy flow.
  31. Can you enter? Yes or No?
  32. Policy says: Yes, you may go.
  33. Managed switches hum like stars in a row,
  34. VPN clients glow.
  35. A circle eternal, a network sphere,
  36. Your access lies at the center, here.
  37. RAY-dee-us? We just want in.
  38. Supplicant asks, client spins.
  39. Eight-oh-two-one-ex begins the show.
  40. RAY-dee-us server, policy flow.
  41. Can you enter? Yes or No?
  42. Policy says: Yes, you may go.
  43. Requests and answers, challenge, reply,
  44. Deny or accept ‘neath a cosmic sky.
  45. From port to server, the message flies,
  46. An Odyssey through Ethernet skies.
  47. RAY-dee-us? We just want in.
  48. Supplicant asks, client spins.
  49. Eight-oh-two-one-ex begins the show.
  50. RAY-dee-us server, policy flow.
  51. Can you enter? Yes or No?
  52. Policy says: Yes, you may go.
  53. "Supplicant knocking, client speaks…
  54. Server deciding, strong and sleek.
  55. RAY-dee-us or Die-AM-uh-ter, math won’t lie…
  56. You’re either inside, or left outside."
