The Alpha of Opulence (2025)

How can it be!?

It's in my blood
Pernicious!
The flame that drives me on
Pernicious!
Need it now, give me the shove
Pernicious!
(Pernicious!)
The rush of the wicked, easy to love
Its so Pernicious (pernicious!)
Its so Pernicious (pernicious!)

Wicked ways
Breed wasted days
But I'm gonna be just fine
Cuz I'm staring down
At Heaven's Gate
Feel the urge run up my spine

I need it, need it, need it
Yeah, I need it right away
I need it, need it, need it
My screaming veins all say

[Chorus]

Wicked minds
Behind closed blinds
She's dancing in the velvet dark
And I'm leaning over Heaven's Gate
Feel the growing wicked spark

I need it, need it, need it
Yeah, I need it right away
I need it, need it, need it 
My screaming veins all say

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Staring down the end
Pernicious!
Watch it sway and bend
Pernicious!
Heaven in the velvet dark
Pernicious!
Set fire to my wicked heart
PERNICIOUS! 

Wicked ways 
Breed wasted days 
But I'm gonna be just fine 
Cuz I'm staring down At Heaven's Gate 
Feel the urge run up my spine 

I need it, need it, need it 
Yeah, I need it right away 
I need it, need it, need it 
My screaming veins all say

Pernicious!
The flame that drives me on
Pernicious!
Need it now, give me the shove
Pernicious!
(Pernicious!)
The rush of the wicked, easy to love
Its so Pernicious (pernicious!)
Its so Pernicious (pernicious!)
Pernicious!
