lyrics

From a feeble boy grew a hardened young man
Openness turned into need for solitude
Desire to be loved into wariness
Blue-eyedness into cunning and guile

Take a look at me now
Take a good look at me now

The child who once was scared to sleep
Over the years has come to see
No monster hides inside a dream
The most fearsome creature here is me

Waves of insult peeled the softness off of him
String of broken hearts left little sympathy
Endless desert drained the fountainhead of tears
A million nightmares terminated his fears

about

Auerkallio Finland

I was born in late 1985, properly picked up the guitar at the age of 12 and later on drums at 15. It was around this time I also started singing in bands. I've also played bass and keyboards when I've needed to.

I currently play for:
Manzana - Guitar/Vocals
Soulfallen - Bass
Ultimatium - Drums
