The Gyele (Bagyele / Bajele), also known as the Kola (Bakola) or Koya (Bakoya), are the pygmies of southern Cameroon and adjacent areas of Gabon and Equatorial Guinea. They live among Bantu patrons, the Mvumbo and Bassa. They speak a dialect of Mvumbo.
Ethnically, the Gyele are close to other Mbenga peoples such as the Aka and Baka, but their languages are not close. There are two dialects, Jele which was closely associated with the Mvumbo, and Kola (also pronounced Koya), which was closely associated with the Basaa. Other farming peoples they live with are the Yasa, Batanga, Bakoko, Mvae, Ewondo and Beti.
The name Bakola/Bakoya is also used for the pygmies of the Congo–Gabon border region.
Ravens fly over
Clouds coming thunder
And I want to be alive
Flesh becomes metal
Veins merging wires
Mechanize these eyes
Brain burning shutdown
Stronger than millions
And I want to be alive
Memory overload
Electrical showers
Mechanize these eyes
Run all the way more than
I wanted to know
I fear all that's inside
Fear all that's inside
Run all the way more than
I wanted to know
I fear all that's inside
Fear all that's inside
All the fear inside
Can't understand
A metamorphic mindtrap
Bloodbath
Rejuvenate
Manipulate
No control on the energy
Changing in front of
Mind and body
Machines that thrive
On the essence of science
Souls are alien
Everything mind and machine
Everything mind and machine
Ghost trigger blind wave
Meltdown dismay
My computerized mind
Terror, dismemberment
Anxiety, I'm restricted
I want to be alive
Rebirth my only answer
I give into the cancer
Mechanize these eyes
Laser burning through
And I'm mangled in truth
Now I know
Now I know I'm alive
Run all the way more than
I wanted to know
I fear all that's inside
Fear all that's inside
Run all the way more than
I wanted to know
I fear all that's inside
Fear all that's inside
Mechanize these eyes
Mechanize my mind
Now I know I'm alive
Now I know I'm alive
Mechanize these eyes
Mechanize my mind
Now I know I'm alive
Now I know I'm alive
All the fear inside
Can't understand
A metamorphic mindtrap
Bloodbath
Rejuvenate
Manipulate
No control on the energy
Changing in front of
Mind and body
Machines that thrive
On the essence of science
Souls are alien
Everything mind and machine
Everything mind and machine
Ghost trigger blind wave
Meltdown dismay
