Venom - Despite Exile

Recrudescence is the habitat we’ve built for ourselves

Whether we were conscious or not

The threshold is finally surpassed

Heading to the resurrection of remote plagues

Slowly sinking into hazardous waters

We were intoxicated by our very will

To pursue a fragment of happiness

We crafted the poison that is dooming an entire biosphere

Cause and effect diverge

Casting uncertainty on every effort

Since every action blurs the scope

We face the heterogony of ends

Digging too deep into the ground

Toying with what wasn’t meant to be found

Sparking forces that will wear us down

Creating objects that exceed our cognitive bounds

We can’t reform and we can’t amend

This implacable greed

Combined with ruthless intellect

We’ve come too late to hinder the process

And too early to surrender to its pace

Our predicament seems hopeless

But we’re too stubborn to be swept away

This plastic prison we’ve carefully put in place

As a ruse too subtle to avoid

Boundless pitfall to which we are all prey

Designed by fiends with prosthetic fates

Cause and effect diverge

Casting uncertainty on every effort

Since every action blurs the scope

We face the heterogony of ends

Digging too deep into the ground

Toying with what wasn’t meant to be found

Sparking forces that will wear us down

Creating objects that exceed our cognitive bounds

We can’t reform and we can’t amend

This implacable greed

Combined with ruthless intellect

Venom drips from our open veins

All our means are now set to fail

Our predicament seems hopeless

But we’re too stubborn to be swept away

Venom drips from our open veins

All our means are now set to fail
