lyrics

Tilikum.

Captured in Iceland, November 83, two years old and frightened, taken from the sea,

One life, taken away, he spent the next year in a zoo, one family, in pain, forced into a medical pool, one heart, distraught, transferred to Sea World 1992, no life,

Not ours to abuse, not bred for misuse,

Tilly had twenty one calves, in captivity, all bred for entertainment, tricks for a fee, eight times a day, seven days a week, no empathy, his health deteriorating, needs to be free,

Locked away in solitary confinement now, Tilly's lost the will to live, the hopes and dreams have gone,

He's stressed and becomes aggressive, three people dead, but the torture continues, living in hell,

Tilly's kept in isolation, limited ability to swim, he lies still in the water, he has a collapsed dorsal fin, his teeth ground to nothing, from chewing through his concrete home, no love, no care, no compassion, no interaction, he's all alone,

All alone, in a vegetative state, all alone, no companions, no mate, all alone, this is no life, no life,

Just for your entertainment, Tilly's life is lost, a life led in misery, did you know the cost,

Tilly returns to performing, the show must go on, no tricks, no food, you'll suffer, they don't belong,

Tillys health spirals downwards, it's another case of pneumonia, the most common death cause, in captive dolphins and orca whales, January 2017, it's announced that Tilikum has died, thirty four years trapped and tortured, he's not the first, he won't be the last,

Be the last, in captivity, be the last, death sets them free, be the last, tortured for gain, boycott fast.
