DESPITE EXILE LYRICS

1. Venom

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
