1.	Intro (Thunder) 03:54	lyrics	buy track
Let me tell you the story Of the worthless men Cupidity, envy and greed Those were the rules by which they ran Until the day The Earth fought back
2.	Natural Selection 05:42	lyrics	buy track
Destroying civilizations Killing people by millions Pretexting they wanted peace Chasing survivors away Turning their cities to grey Sacrificing for money Victims marched for days Hoping to find a new place Where they could rebuild their homes They sailed through salted waters They saw countless horrors And came to find closed doors Fear took over love in chasers’ minds They feared their own kind Let them die in the sand We cannot save every soul They let children die in the cold I guess it’s gonna be a natural selection (You get what you deserve) Go find your wife and kids and wait for evolution (It’s all that matters now) The rich, the poor, same fate, no time for absolution (No money in your grave) Nature has made its choice (It’s time to start over now) Using the Earth to the core Taking all that they could Leaving death all around Never minding the price It’s easy to ignore The suffering when you’re blind Don’t see, don’t hear, don’t speak It’s okay to be selfish When everyone else is Personal gain is your god You’d betray the ones that you love Just to get close to the sun But be careful Near the sun you will burn I guess it’s gonna be a natural selection (You get what you deserve) Go find your wife and kids and wait for evolution (It’s all that matters now) The rich, the poor, same fate, no time for absolution (No money in your grave) Nature has made its choice (It’s time to start over now) It’s too late to turn back now It all must be erased And you’re the ones to blame You wasted all that nature gave you And now the waves are coming at you They won’t pity you No one will ever remember you They’ll take all that you were And now the sky is lit with fire You no longer have power You all know it’s your final hour There is silence for the first time Not a single engine sound Feels like an untouched ground Another story has begun
3.	The Scream Of Kurt 06:28	lyrics	buy track
An empty ship sailing through the shadows A lifeless story without a purpose A drunken captain amongst the wrecks With bare hands, a book he protects The ship is burning bright And his men have lost the fight Leaving the captain without will or might The ship is burning bright He lost everything, all alone Except this book he doesn’t even own Pages wet by all the tears As rage conquers his fears He knows everything comes to an end He’ll be dead before sunset Pages wet by all the tears As rage conquers his fears So, he turns to the heavens in sorrow In his dream, stars will follow The moon shines bright until the end The sun, he will never see again “I am drowning in the sky Forgive me, wife It is now the time Time to pay for my sins And I am ready” Time to pay for your sins
4.	The Horseman 08:18	lyrics	buy track
I’ve been everywhere I’ve seen it all I am the traveler The only one That’s left I haven’t seen anyone in years I sometimes miss them But I feel great by myself I don’t need anybody else I have all that I want The world, the world is my own playground I’ve been everywhere I’ve seen it all I am the traveler The only one That’s left I can do anything, really I have no rules nor limits Completely free I can be Who the fuck I want to be I’ve been everywhere I’ve seen it all I am the traveler The only one That’s left But sometimes When it’s cold I lose all sight of excitement Sometimes I feel so lonesome I miss someone to mess around And I wish I was chained I miss my old tormentor At least someone I could talk to Because you’re not free You’re not free You're not free You’re not free when you’re alone You’re not free You’re not free when you’re the only one Please, oh please help me Please ‘Cause I need somebody
5.	Black Ice (Bonus Track) 04:37	lyrics	buy track
Last time I saw you On a freezing day You dumb idiot You just wanted to play Well, let’s play Get your motorcycle ready But while on the outside Beware of the black ice Black ice Slippery bastard You said adrenalin Is the purest drug Just a little bit dangerous That’s what makes it good You don’t know fear That’s what made you fall You live your life Like there’s no tomorrow Open up your eyes Don’t you see? You’re gonna die alone You don’t care about anything I could have saved you I could have kissed you I could have loved you If you wanted to But you just wanted to play Digits are scrolling Your life just starts It is not death It’s a new dawn Your life is not ending You can change everything Nothing is written as you think You just need to daydream You aren’t tied up by your choices You’re free but you don’t even know it Don’t be silent to your heart I know you can feel it Your life just starts Free your mind You live in a lie

about

Octale Brussels, Belgium

Octale: from tale.

Defining Octale has been challenging since it first made a sound, in 2018. Some say it’s the vocal style of nineties grunge, the atmosphere of prog metal, and the riffs of heavy metal. Whatever the name, Octale is a blend of poetry and powerful melodies, of emotions and fiery rhythms. It is also an adventure, and a beginning one at that. ... more
