Among all the bites and stingers
A milipede creeps closer with each passing day
Fever sweats are trickling off me1
I feel the stench of putrefaction from pus-dripping sores
I am crawling in a snake's hole among many scorpions
Among tarantulas'2 webs and through the hornets' nest.
I am crawling in a snake's hole
Toxins corrode the senses
And create husks3 without consciousness
Kill instincts and memories
And make the victims gather in long, death-marked lines
I am crawling in a snake's hole among many scorpions
Among tarantulas' webs and through the hornets' nest.
I am crawling in a snake's hole
Serum
Serum
Give me serum
Inject antidote
Give me anti-venom4
Give me serum
I want to be able to resist
Serum
Vaccinate
Me against spider-saliva
Give me anti-venom
Give me serum
Before the poison takes my life
Contagious pandemies
Thrive in the moisture that surrounds this bacterial core
Outbreaks of epidemies
From mouth to mouth and down to the earth where I have buried my whole world
I am crawling in a snake's hole among many scorpions
Among tarantulas' webs and through the hornets' nest.
I am crawling in a snake's hole
Serum
Serum
Give me serum
Inject antidote
Give me anti-venom
Give me serum
I want to be able to resist
Serum
Vaccinate
Me against spider-saliva
Give me anti-venom
Give me serum
Before the poison takes my life
1. lit. dripping, but it destroys the next line2. huge bird eating spiders. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goliath_birdeater3. lit. empty individuals4. lit. anti-poison, antidote, but he is crawling among spiders, hornets, scorpions, and wants to be vaccinated against spider venom. So I think anti-venom is a slightly better translation instead of antidote.
