[Verse I] Whispers seep like venom through the bone, Silent currents chill the throne. Lines are drawn where none should be, A kingdom rots in secrecy. [Chorus] Pernicious—silent currents gnaw within, Dividing flesh, erasing what has been. No respect, no mercy in the scheme, A world decays in a pernicious dream. [Verse II] Faces fade beneath chosen lies, Barriers rise where hope should die. Systems breathe in cold disdain, The human heart reduced to chains. [Bridge] Subtle rot that drains the breath, The quiet plague that feasts on health. Insidious hands that sow the rift, Stealing unity, denying gift. [Outro] Pernicious—its shadow never sleeps, It buries love, it buries deep. From silent seeds to endless reign, The human bond eroded grain by grain.
