lyrics

I think
I just saw her again
The fire warrior
Never really left me

She came back for me
All dressed in red

She told me “Get up!
What are you waiting for?
Get up and fight
For what you really want”

I nearly forgot
What she looked like
The color of her eyes
Staring at me through the other side

Her ginger mane
Was floating in a storm
All I saw
Was the fire of her dauntless heart
Blinding me in a soundless fall

I knew from
The moment I saw her
That I didn’t heal at all

From her burning touch
From her burning mouth
From my burning insides
And my mind torn upside down

She told me “Get up!
What are you waiting for?
Get up and fight
For what you really want”

She told me “Get up!
What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
Get up!
Get up and fight!”

Vengeful goddess am I forgiven?

Do you know how I suffered
The emptiness of your loss?
But you didn’t say a word
No, nothing more, not even a smile
You just faded out
How I cried for your absence
How I loathed your silence
Maybe one day I will understand
That you’re my salvation

Warrior don’t leave me
I need you so badly

Need your voice, need your strength
For my own fights
But you don’t want me

Not like that

I’ll learn to be brave
I’ll learn to be strong
I will become invulnerable

And so one day I’ll be ready
For you to come back for me

And so one day I'll be ready
For you to come back to me

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
