(Verse 1)
Sittin' in my office, starin' at the screen
Wonderin' why these folks can't keep their systems clean
I send out reminders, but they just don't care
When the breach comes knockin', who'll be standin' there?
(Chorus)
I'm the CISO, left alone
On the altar of guilt, I stand alone
Employees ignore, management won't listen
Now we're under attack, and the hackers are fishin'
(Verse 2)
Told 'em to use strong passwords, change 'em every month
But they stick with "password123" and think I'm the dunce
Management backs them up, says I'm too extreme
But they don't understand, security's not a dream
(Chorus)
I'm the CISO, left alone
On the altar of guilt, I stand alone
Employees ignore, management won't listen
Now we're under attack, and the hackers are fishin'
(Verse 3)
Phishing emails come in, they click every link
Data's leakin' out faster than you can blink
I warned them all, but they thought I was paranoid
Now our reputation's shot, and the board is annoyed
(Chorus)
I'm the CISO, left alone
On the altar of guilt, I stand alone
Employees ignore, management won't listen
Now we're under attack, and the hackers are fishin'
(Bridge)
When judgment day comes, and the auditors arrive
They'll point their fingers, ask how we survived
The employees scatter, management hides away
Guess who's left standing? It's me they'll flay
(Verse 4)
So here I stand alone, on this altar of blame
My warnings ignored, now we're put to shame
Next time you see a CISO, looking tired and worn
Remember their battle, from dusk until dawn
(Chorus)
I'm the CISO, left alone
On the altar of guilt, I stand alone
Employees ignore, management won't listen
Now we're under attack, and the hackers are fishin'
(Outro)
We're the guardians, hand in hand
Protecting our data across the land
Employees engaged, management on board
Our cybersecurity will not be ignored!
