Serum [English translation]

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

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

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.
