about

Tyke was an elephant caged in a circus who, in August 1994, killed her torturer and escaped. She was shot dead by the police as she was trying to flee. This song is dedicated to her, as well as to all the animals victim of barbary and specism.

lyrics

After 20 years of torture for what they call culture. The circle was on fire but freedom is her only desire. Tyke gets angry and runs away, her chains can't no longer make her stay. The circle was on fire, she is free like a grassfire. But eighty-six shots later, deafened by the sirens, her grey skin was on fire. Tyke gives up and kneels over. They are not our enemies, because we can means we must. For all the ones we killed, for the beings who still suffer and die. For spending our life saying: "No. Not me, not my fight, not my problem, not tonight."

Ace Screamo from Italy, very like Crash Of Rhinos but with no singing at all, just all screaming but this is a touch above the normal standard of Screamo, there's something special happening here...the guitars sound amazing. Gary Sleith

To me there are five sides of screamo--the anthemic post-rock side, the jangly emo side, the claustrophobic black metal side, the chaotic hardcore side, and the menacing, "Protest Song '68 but the heavy parts are screamier" side. This falls into the anthemic post rock side. The Real Nick House
