Lyrics - Last Act Of Defiance by Exodus

"
The
Last
Act of
Defiance" by
Exodus
The second of
February, 1980began three days of miserya scene of retaliationepitomizing violence, horror, and vindication
Thieves, murderers, and rapistsinundated their prison like homicidal sadistsguards and convicts alike would pay the priceto them the electric chairwould look like paradise!only degradation, torture, and cremation would suffice!
A sea of agony rolled inlike the coming of the tidethe more fortunate escaped the insanitythrough suicidethe screams of the dyingwould haunt the living to the gravesurvivors of the riotrelive the nightmare every day!
The
Last
Act of
Defiance!
The
Last
Act of
Defiance!
With a never ending appetitebarbituates set them off like dynamiteeradicating informantsacetylene torches dealt the punishmentmelted from skin to bonethe fire silenced their screams to moanssmoke filled the air from bodies set aflamebegging for mercy, but their wordswere spoken in vain!
They weren't allowed to perish until they cherished all the pain!
A sea of agony rolled inlike the coming of the tidethe more fortunate escaped the insanitythrough suicidethe screams of the dyingwould haunt the living to the gravesurvivors of the riotrelive the nightmare every day!
The
Last
Act of
Defiance!
The
Last
Act of
Defiance!
Guards they had taken hostagewere to blame for pushing them over the edgetheir brutality would be their demiselike sharks in a frenzy they lashed out at their prizewhen the madness had endedthe gore was too intense to be comprehendedno one explained the real reason whyfor cruelty of a fewso many should die
They knew of the flaws, but stll insist the causewas justified!
A sea of agony rolled inlike the coming of the tidethe more fortunate escaped the insanitythrough suicidethe screams of the dyingwould haunt the living to the gravesurvivors of the riotrelive the nightmare every day!
The
Last
Act of
Defiance!
The
Last
Act of
Defiance!
