This Venom Lyrics
Every day that passes by
I develop a new way to hate you
It slowly beckons a love inside
Now I can barely even stand the sight of you
We keep pretending there's nothing wrong
Playing parts in the tragic comedy
Soon we'll be singing a different song
When we both face our harsh reality
Yeah, we'll draw battle lines
Glorify our defenses once again
Yeah, we'll look for any sign
We'll meet each other's eyes and once again
They all will hear our battle cry
(This venom)
It keeps repeating and it's making me realize
We're just not able to survive
(This venom)
This venom's killing us and we won't make it out alive
I'm used to feeling you're stalking me
I lie awake for the next explosion
With every word always haunting me
I'm never able to let my guard down
I feel the tension begin to rise
I'm tired of living the sick déjà vu again
If we're able to compromise
There's no hope of me getting screwed again
Yeah, we'll draw battle lines
Fortify those defenses once again
Yeah, we'll scream the same old lines
We'll meet each other's eyes and that is when
They all will hear our battle cry
(This venom)
It keeps repeating and it's making me realize
We're just not able to survive
(This venom)
This venom's killing us and we won't make it out alive
This venom
They all will hear our battle cry
(This venom)
It keeps repeating and it's making me realize
We're just not able to survive
(This venom)
This venom's killing us and we won't make it out alive
No, we won't make it out alive
I develop a new way to hate you
It slowly beckons a love inside
Now I can barely even stand the sight of you
We keep pretending there's nothing wrong
Playing parts in the tragic comedy
Soon we'll be singing a different song
When we both face our harsh reality
Glorify our defenses once again
Yeah, we'll look for any sign
We'll meet each other's eyes and once again
(This venom)
It keeps repeating and it's making me realize
We're just not able to survive
(This venom)
This venom's killing us and we won't make it out alive
I lie awake for the next explosion
With every word always haunting me
I'm never able to let my guard down
I feel the tension begin to rise
I'm tired of living the sick déjà vu again
If we're able to compromise
There's no hope of me getting screwed again
Fortify those defenses once again
Yeah, we'll scream the same old lines
We'll meet each other's eyes and that is when
(This venom)
It keeps repeating and it's making me realize
We're just not able to survive
(This venom)
This venom's killing us and we won't make it out alive
(This venom)
It keeps repeating and it's making me realize
We're just not able to survive
(This venom)
This venom's killing us and we won't make it out alive
No, we won't make it out alive

The best way to explain this is simply to the "Venom" something external. Propaganda, politics, stories, rescism, sexism, just something that warps the perception of another group.
So the subject of the song is a soldier, or someone called in to fight, because of the venom's influence. They fight other soldiers fed their own lies, and are told to hate the enemy because x, y, and z. He voices how the venom has warped them to war over and over, unable to peacefully survive so long as both sides feed into it and fight their endless repeating wars with no compromise. And eventually the venom takes all the soldiers' lives and they are destined to die for the venom.

If we are to go with the flow of how black and white the other songs are I'm inclined to agree with you. As I was listening to the song I thought this venom could be religion but, really it can be anything that drives a wedge between people or a groups of people. Heck, it could be sports!
