[Intro][Slow guitar harmonics hang over server fans. Three steel strikes leave long gaps between them.]

Path created: unknown.
Last modified: yesterday.
Owner: none.
Folder: Do Not Delete.

[Verse 1]
[Female Lead Vocal]

The share sits past the project roots no diagram records,
Behind abandoned folders and two broken network boards.
Finance, sales and former staff still hold permission keys.
Mara finds passport scans and old employee I-Ds.
One export marked "temporary" is nine years out of date.

[Pre-Chorus]

Contracts. Copies. Private mail.
Every shortcut leaves a trail.
Nobody owns the buried drive.
Something wrote to it last night.

[Chorus]

Do Not Delete. Do not question. Do not name.
Ten years of folders, each labelled near the same.
Do Not Delete. "Business critical," they say.
No keeper, yet it grows from day to day.
Do Not Delete. The warning sounds complete.
Fear sets no schedule. A label proves no need.

[Verse 2]

Leon reaches for the mouse. "The archive may be key.
Some legacy report could pull this data silently."
Ben asks which job depends on it. Leon cannot say.
They find merger files and passport scans in grey.
"FINAL-FINAL" lists unknown accounts. One node still feeds the rows.

[Instrumental Break][The slow audit motif fractures into thrash as the drums double their tempo.]

[Chorus]

Do Not Delete. Do not question. Do not name.
Ten years of folders, each labelled near the same.
Do Not Delete. "Business critical," they say.
No keeper, yet it grows from day to day.
Do Not Delete. The warning sounds complete.
Fear sets no schedule. A label proves no need.

[Verse 3]

A subfolder holds an incident report from years before,
"Draft -- Internal Only," never logged in the main store.
It names an export sent from an unauthorised account.
A comment says, "Do not escalate. Wait for new advice."
The author left. The node still writes at night.
Helena sets the old report beside the fresh transfer time.

[Bridge]

Routine built the folder.
Delay became the lock.
No stranger forced the breach.
The staff kept feeding it.

[Breakdown]
[Gang Vocals]

Freeze the share.
Preserve the trail.
Block new writes.
Map each file.

[Final Chorus]
[Female Lead with Gang Vocals]

Do Not Delete. Now the warning changes side:
Keep the trail until each source is verified.
Hold each file until the lawful need is known.
Cut the copied route to each active node.
Seal each transfer. Bring the record into light.
The old command now means: preserve the evidence.

[Outro]
[Female Spoken Vocal]

Write-locked.
Access sealed.
Owner pending.
Do Not Delete.
