Venom
Despite Exile Lyrics

Recrudescence is the habitat we've built for ourselves
Our environment is an ongoing resurgence of negative conditions that we have created for ourselves.

Whether we were conscious or not
Regardless of whether we were aware of our actions or not.

The threshold is finally surpassed
We have finally crossed the point of no return.

Heading to the resurrection of remote plagues
Moving towards the revival of long-dormant diseases.

Slowly sinking into hazardous waters
Gradually descending into dangerous circumstances.

We were intoxicated by our very will
We became intoxicated by our own desires and ambitions.

To pursue a fragment of happiness
In our pursuit of a small sense of joy and satisfaction.

We crafted the poison that is dooming an entire biosphere
We created the harmful substance that is causing the destruction of an entire ecosystem.

Cause and effect diverge
The relationship between actions and consequences becomes unclear and uncertain.

Casting uncertainty on every effort
Causing doubt and uncertainty in every attempt or endeavor.

Since every action blurs the scope
As each action we take further obscures the true extent of the situation.

We face the heterogony of ends
We confront the variety of different outcomes and consequences.

Digging too deep into the ground
Delving excessively into something that was not meant to be revealed.

Toying with what wasn't meant to be found
Playing with things that were not meant to be brought to light or discovered.

Sparking forces that will wear us down
Initiating actions that will gradually exhaust and weaken us.

Creating objects that exceed our cognitive bounds
Producing things that surpass our understanding and mental capacity.

We can't reform and we can't emend
We are unable to change and improve our ways.

This implacable greed
This unyielding and insatiable desire for more.

Combined with ruthless intellect
Joined with a merciless and uncompassionate intelligence.

We've come too late to hinder the process
We have arrived too late to stop the progression.

And too early to surrender to its pace
Yet it is still too soon to give in to its speed and relentlessness.

Our predicament seems hopeless
Our situation appears to be without hope or a solution.

But we're too stubborn to be swept away
However, we possess an obstinate resistance to being overcome or defeated.

This plastic prison we've carefully put in place
This figurative confinement that we have deliberately constructed.

Is a ruse too subtle to avoid
Is a deceitful trick that is difficult to evade or recognize.

Boundless pitfall to which we are all prey
An endless trap that we are all susceptible to falling into.

Designed by fiends with prosthetic fates
Devised by wicked individuals with artificial destinies.

Venom drips from our open veins
Harmful poison flows from our exposed emotions or actions.

All our means are now set to fail
All the methods or strategies we employ are destined for collapse.
