Their debut album MIND KEY "Journey Of A Rough Diamond" is a great progressive metal album with soaring vocals, incredible guitar and bass work and complex drumming. Intricate song structures, odd time signatures and great melodic passages abound on this excellent cd.
Highly Recommended for the afficionado of good Progressive Metal.
DEEP INSIDE
Mind Key Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the ocean of my empty day
Light, between the shadows of despair
But you... stay here
Don't leave me alone with my soul
Tell me somehow
Tell me the truth
Show me the way I feel
Light... I need you deep inside
Like a mountain high
Now I'm screaming for freedom
Why... My dreams are miles away
Through night and day
I don't wanna cry no more
The scars are deep inside...
Tell me somehow
Tell me the truth
Show me the way I feel
[Chorus]
I could cry, tears in time
When I look behind
Can you take me higher?
You're the way, in this empty day
You'll be my yesterday
If you feel what I'm saying
You will be the one...
You will be the one
The scars are deep inside...
Tell me some how
Tell me the truth
Show me the way I feel...inside
I wanna feel inside
[Chorus]
I could cry, tears in time
When I look behind
Can you take me higher?
You're the way, in this empty day
You'll be my yesterday
If you feel what I'm saying
You will be the one...

There's a land
There exists a place within me
In the ocean of my empty day
Amidst a vast emptiness of my life
Light, between the shadows of despair
A glimmer of hope amongst despairing darkness
But you... stay here
But you, my companion, stay by my side
Don't leave me alone with my soul
Don't let me confront my innermost demons alone
Tell me somehow
Help me understand
Tell me the truth
Be honest with me
Show me the way I feel
Reveal to me my true emotions
Light... I need you deep inside
I require your presence within me
Like a mountain high
As if towering heights were attained
Now I'm screaming for freedom
Now I yearn for liberation
Why... My dreams are miles away
My aspirations seem out of reach
Through night and day
Persisting through hardship
I don't wanna cry no more
I am done shedding tears
The scars are deep inside...
The wounds within me run deep
You will be the one
You will be the person to help me heal
[Chorus] I could cry, tears in time When I look behind Can you take me higher? You're the way, in this empty day You'll be my yesterday If you feel what I'm saying You will be the one...
I may cry as I reflect on my past, but can you guide me towards greater heights? You are my path to a better future, and if you empathize with me, you will be the one to help and ultimately heal me.

Effettivamente tutti i membri provengono da Napoli... Correggo subito. Il fatto è che, come al solito, mi sono limitato a riportare le info dei Metal Archives.
