Anti Venom

There is a disease
running free in your veins,
It's killing your sight
and it's numbing your pain.

I am the anti venom.
Suck it out of your wound,
Hurry up now,
before it's sealed your tomb.
I am the anti venom,
Get it out of your heart
I know it's dumbed you down, 
but you're far too smart.

It's in your blood flow,
It comes from your genes.
They hope the seed grows
The more that they feed.

I am the famine,
I am your pestilence-death.
I am the bringer of sight
From the end keeper's breath.
I am the anti venom,
Suck it out of your neck,
Get up off your knees
have some self-respect.
