Music: Avalkis – Scorpion (2016) – The Art of Jukka Eronen

Here’s my newest song – a guitar ballad, called “Scorpion” (2016). Hope you like it!

This is the first released song with my new artist name Avalkis. The track will be in the upcoming album Tree of Love – and Other Ballads from the Darkened Sun. Featuring f.ex. acoustic/electric guitar and piano ballads, celt and medieval inspired songs.

Thanks to Matti, Hanne and Onni for our recent live band sessions and jammings that inspired me to finish this song faster than I would have otherwise! (There might be a rock version with our band at some point when we have time with our busy schedules.)

UPDATE: Due to request from my good friend and artist Joonas here is the whole “Scorpion” song with the ambient intro that originally belonged with it :).

Here are the lyrics:

1. If I find you, will you be my true…
in this life, or the next

Will you be my, guiding angel
that I’ve yearned, for so many years

2. A light that always shines, please come back to my loving arms
I have come for… your love

That is true… pure and beyond
Will you know me… There’s so much to feel

3. I have a scorpion, crawling down my neck
it’s trying to sting, but it cannot hurt

’cause there’s an antidote, running in my veins
It is your love, that I can always trust

4. I don’t know where… else to turn to
When I am home sick, far away

A distant stranger, becoming a friend
I have become, someone I once knew

5. Will you follow, will you see me
Do you know us, there’s so much to learn

I am here to stay, not giving any lessons
still you’re the treasure, I almost gave away

” Can I give you, all that I have
for what I am, and what’s left of me

Can I give you, all that I have
for what I am, and what’s left of me ”

PS. The original working title for this song was “A Seed of Hope” which referred to “Acid of Hope”. Because it’s interesting to note that the base for this song is originally an acid trance song I composed in 1998. That might explain some of the sounds and melodies appearing in the final build-up :). Also a certain 1980s/1990s nostalgia is present. I will release the trance version too later.

EDIT 6.1.2017:

Lyriikat suomeksi:

1. Jos mä löydän, sinut vielä
tässä elämässä, tai seuraavassa

haluatko olla, valo elämäni
jota kaivannut oon, kaikki vuodet nää

2. Valo joka, aina loistaa
olen tullut, sitä hakemaan

rakkauttasi vain, joka kestää
haluatko tuntea minut, olen vielä elävä

3. Skorpioni, kulkee niskassain
se aikoo pistää, mut’ satuttaa ei voi

sillä vastalääke, on sydämessäin’
se on rakkautesi vain, oi armain

4. En voi tietää, minne mennä
kun eksynyt mä, kaukomailla oon

Vieras astuu, ovesta sisään
itseni mä tapaan, vuosien jälkeen taas

5. Seuraatko mua, haluatko nähdä
meidät vielä, on paljon opittavaa

Aion pysyä, luonas’ aina
Olet aarre, jonka kerran, melkein kadotin

“Voinko antaa, kaiken sen
rakkauden, mitä jäljellä mus’ on

Voinko antaa, kaiken sen
rakkauden, mitä jäljellä mussa on”
