"The Last Act of Defiance" by Exodus  The second of February, 1980  began three days of misery  a scene of retaliation  epitomizing violence, horror, and vindication  Thieves, murderers, and rapists  inundated their prison like homicidal sadists  guards and convicts alike would pay the price  to them the electric chair  would look like paradise!  only degradation, torture, and cremation would suffice!  A sea of agony rolled in  like the coming of the tide  the more fortunate escaped the insanity  through suicide  the screams of the dying  would haunt the living to the grave  survivors of the riot  relive the nightmare every day!  The Last Act of Defiance!  The Last Act of Defiance!  With a never ending appetite  barbituates set them off like dynamite  eradicating informants  acetylene torches dealt the punishment  melted from skin to bone  the fire silenced their screams to moans  smoke filled the air from bodies set aflame  begging for mercy, but their words  were spoken in vain!  They weren't allowed to perish until they cherished all the pain!  A sea of agony rolled in  like the coming of the tide  the more fortunate escaped the insanity  through suicide  the screams of the dying  would haunt the living to the grave  survivors of the riot  relive the nightmare every day!  The Last Act of Defiance!  The Last Act of Defiance!  Guards they had taken hostage  were to blame for pushing them over the edge  their brutality would be their demise  like sharks in a frenzy they lashed out at their prize  when the madness had ended  the gore was too intense to be comprehended  no one explained the real reason why  for cruelty of a few  so many should die  They knew of the flaws, but stll insist the cause  was justified!  A sea of agony rolled in  like the coming of the tide  the more fortunate escaped the insanity  through suicide  the screams of the dying  would haunt the living to the grave  survivors of the riot  relive the nightmare every day!  The Last Act of Defiance!  The Last Act of Defiance!
