Lyrics

  1. [Intro}
  2. Every bit I encrypt feels shaky...
  3. Every key I trust feels torn apart.
  4. Once upon a time, primes were safety,
  5. But now cue-bits pull my secrets apart.
  6. Turn around, Shore,
  7. Every now and then I get a little bit nervous
  8. When I hear your algorithm’s name.
  9. Turn around, Shore,
  10. Every now and then I see the lah-tis
  11. And I know it’s not the same game.
  12. Turn around, cipher,
  13. Every now and then I feel the fear ignite —
  14. That E-C-C won’t last the night.
  15. Turn around, cipher,
  16. Every now and then I realize
  17. Quantum’s coming for my key size.
  18. And I need post-quantum now,
  19. I need lah-tis hope forever!
  20. If my R-S-A falls down,
  21. Then KAI-ber will stand it better!
  22. Once we trusted math to hold the line,
  23. Now entangled cue-bits blur the time.
  24. Our public keys decay in rhyme —
  25. Total eclipse of Eh-lips this time.
  26. Once we sang of curves so fine,
  27. Now the future bends the line.
  28. No factoring can save the prime —
  29. Total eclipse of Eh-lips, decline.
  30. Turn around, modulus,
  31. Every now and then I see the gates align —
  32. Superposed and intertwined.
  33. Turn around, modulus,
  34. Every now and then I find
  35. My bit collapses when observed in time.
  36. Public key once safe and proud,
  37. Now a relic to the quantum crowd.
  38. GROH-ver’s creeping through my hash,
  39. Symmetric keys may not even last.
  40. Lah-tis walls and ring-L-W-E,
  41. Shield our data, set it free.
  42. Quantum dawn is drawing near,
  43. Classic crypto disappears.
  44. Once we signed with R-S-A in our life,
  45. Now we pray KAI-ber ends the strife.
  46. Encrypt the night, but brace for time —
  47. Total eclipse of Eh-lips, divine.
  48. E-C-D-H, farewell line,
  49. Hello Froh-doh-Kem’s design.
  50. Hold me close, EN-tro-pee unwind —
  51. Total eclipse of Eh-lips, this time.
  52. Every key I trust feels fragile,
  53. Every proof decays in kind.
  54. Once upon a time, math was eternal,
  55. Now the quantum wave collapses the mind.
  56. Total Eclipse of Ellipse.
