[Intro]

Risk accepted.
Action deferred.
Owner pending.
Warning heard.

[Verse]

The first report was nine years old:
"Shared credentials create exposure.
Assign each service one named owner."
A handwritten note beside it red:
"Correct, but not this budget cycle...
Re-evaluate."

Jonas red it twice, then placed
His sticker over half his face.

[Chorus]

Every warning was written down,
In meeting notes and budget rounds.
Every weakness had a date.
Every danger had a name.
The knowledge lived. The action drowned.
Every warning was written down.

[Verse]

Security requested M-F-A
For service accounts without delay.
Finance marked the cost too high
Beside a graph that reached the sky.

Gregor's mail said: "Do not proceed."
Victor answered: "Noted. Agreed."
The launch continued Friday night.
The status board remained bright.

[Chorus]

Every warning was written down,
In meeting notes and budget rounds.
Every weakness had a date.
Every danger had a name.
The knowledge lived. The action drowned.
Every warning was written down.

[Verse]

One wall became a field of white,
Black type under office light.
Warnings taped from floor to frame,
Each one carrying someone's name.

Gregor stood beside the wall:
"The system told you through us all.
You did not lack the facts required.
You lacked the will to stop the fire."

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]

No prophecy, no hidden code,
No brilliant thief along the road.
It came through dashboards painted green,
Entering through the words: NOT NOW.

[Final Chorus]

Every warning was written down.
The evidence surrounds us now.
No junior hand can bear the weight
Of every senior choice delayed.
WE KNEW THE RISK. WE CHOSE THE DATE.
WE BUILT THE FAILURE WE NOW FACE.

[Outro]

Gregor removed the final page.
It held one sentence, underlined twice:
"Do not restore the company
Without restoring responsibility."
