[00:00.000] 作词 : Exodus
[00:01.483]The prison system
[00:03.793]Inherently unjust and inhumane
[00:07.343]Is the ultimate expression of injustice
[00:10.153]And inhumanity in the society at large
[00:14.682]Those of us on the outside do not like
[00:17.621]To think of wardens and guards
[00:20.230]As our surrogates yet they are
[00:24.630]And they are intimately
[00:25.589]Locked in a deadly embrace
[00:28.999]With their human captives
[00:31.458]Behind prison walls
[00:34.308]By extension so are we
[00:37.938]The terrible double
[00:39.58]Meaning is thus imparted
[00:40.737]To the original question of human ethics
[00:45.187]Am I my brother's keeper
[01:15.137]The second of February 1980
[01:16.876]Began three days of misery
[01:19.156]A scene of retaliation
[01:21.645]Epitomizing violence
[01:23.134]Horror and vindication
[01:24.413]Thieves murderers and rapists
[01:25.263]Inundated their prison
[01:26.543]Like homicidal sadists
[01:28.252]Guards and convicts alike
[01:29.392]Would pay the price
[01:30.232]To them the electric chair
[01:32.31]Would look like paradise
[01:35.11]Only degradation torture
[01:36.140]And cremation would suffice
[01:39.40]A sea of agony rolled in like
[01:41.49]The coming of the tide
[01:43.789]The more fortunate escaped
[01:45.168]The insanity through suicide
[01:48.248]The screams of the dying would
[01:49.378]Haunt the living to the grave
[01:52.588]Survivors of the riot relive
[01:53.718]The nightmare every day
[01:57.128]The last act of defiance
[02:06.118]With a never-ending appetite
[02:07.748]Barbiturates set them off like dynamite
[02:10.138]Eradicating informants
[02:12.578]Acetylene torches dealt the punishment
[02:14.848]Melted from skin to bone
[02:16.858]The fire silenced their screams to moans
[02:19.58]Smoke filled the air from bodies set aflame
[02:21.597]Begging for mercy
[02:22.227]But their words were spoken in vain
[02:25.967]They weren't allowed
[02:26.526]To perish until they cherished all the pain
[02:30.126]A sea of agony rolled in like
[02:32.525]The coming of the tide
[02:34.515]The more fortunate escaped
[02:36.15]The insanity through suicide
[02:39.345]The screams of the dying would
[02:40.595]Haunt the living to the grave
[02:43.725]Survivors of the riot relive
[02:44.805]The nightmare every day
[02:48.324]The last act of defiance
[02:52.644]The last act of defiance
[03:51.947]Guards they had taken hostage
[03:53.777]Were to blame for
[03:54.557]Pushing them over the edge
[03:56.57]Their brutality would be their demise
[03:58.147]Like sharks in a frenzy
[03:59.237]They lashed out at their prize
[04:00.757]When the madness had ended
[04:02.517]The gore was too
[04:03.557]Intense to be comprehended
[04:05.217]No one explained the real reason why
[04:07.175]For cruelty of a few so many should die
[04:11.794]They knew of the flaws
[04:12.744]But still insist the 'cause was justified
[04:15.894]A sea of agony rolled in like
[04:18.464]The coming of the tide
[04:20.724]The more fortunate escaped
[04:21.913]The insanity through suicide
[04:25.192]The screams of the dying would
[04:26.332]Haunt the living to the grave
[04:29.572]Survivors of the riot relive
[04:30.692]The nightmare every day
[04:34.311]The last act of defiance
[04:38.410]The last act of defiance
