1) TEN, Seoul (K-Pop & C-Pop)
Chittaphon Leechaiyapornkul (born on February 27, 1996), better known by his stage name TEN (Korean:텐, Chinese:李永钦), is a Thai singer and dancer of Chinese descent based in South Korea. He is best known as a member of the boy group NCT (including the sub-units NCT U , WayV and WayV-TEN&YANGYANG). He is also a member of the SM Entertainment's project "supergroup" SuperM with other artists from the same label.
Ten released his first solo single "몽중몽; Dream In A Dream" on April 7th, 2017. He followed this up a year later with single "New Heroes" which released on April 6th, 2018. On August 10, 2021, three years since his last solo song, Ten released "Paint Me Naked" through SM Station. During this time, he also released and promoted a unit single with WayV member YangYang, "Low Low" on August 17, 2021. On October 26, 2022, Ten released his fourth digital single, "Birthday," an R&B dance genre song that is the fifth release of NCT LAB, a sub-project of STATION.
On February 13, 2024, after much anticipation, Ten released TEN, his debut mini album. Featuring six tracks, including title track "Nightwalker", the album topped the iTunes charts of 18 countries, landing in the top 20 of thirty countries around the world. To support the album, Ten held several solo fan concerts, each concert selling out almost instantly.
2) Ten, United Kingdom ( hard rock )
The debut album was crafted by the late producer Mike Stone. It was released in May 1996 selling 20'000 copies in Japan where the group immediately gained a rabid following.
This set the wheels in motion for the recording of a second album, 'In The Name Of The Rose', that was released later the same year and began work on a third album in 1997.
A year ending trek to Japan resulted in the group's Japanese label, Zero Corporation, releasing a double live package in early 1998.
The third album, The Robe, was a huge step forward in the sound of TEN, leading strongly towards epic and majestic atmospheres and influences. Songs like the title track, "Arcadia" and "Ten Fathoms Deep" are considered to be amongst the best expressions of the British hard rock of the 90's.
However, their major commercial success - especially in Europe - came with their following album Spellbound, in 1999. The record had all the elements which decreed the vast success of TEN within the hard rock fans: melody and class, but also power and epic atmospheres, inherited by the tradition of the British bands of the 70's such as Rainbow, Thin Lizzy and UFO.
A few line-up changes (most notably Steve McKenna taking on bass duties and Don Airey and Paul Hodson later on keyboards) did not really change the musical styles and success of the band that also gathered a great exposure and acclaim with the following release Babylon, a concept album based on a futuristic story of a computer programmer and his tragic love affair.
The following two records Far Beyond the World(2001) and Return to Evermore (2004, which saw the début of the new guitar ace Chris Francis, taking the place of Vinny Burns) served only to solidify the band’s reputation for great music and exquisite arrangements in great melodic hard rock fashion.
To mark the band’s 10th anniversary, a two disc album The Essential Collection was issued in January 2006, comprising the best Rockers and Ballads re-recorded in the style of how the band currently play their music.
Ten’s most recent appearance was in March this year at the Atarfe Vega Rock Festival in Spain, where they appeared to great critical acclaim along side WASP, Twisted Sister and Stryper.
The next album released was "The Twilight Chronicles". It is a mixture of rock and ballads with a strong atmospheric mood and lyrics that tell tales of love, lust, death, glory, revenge and darkness.
Ten's latest album was released in Japan in January 2011, with European & US release following in February 2011. The album is called "Stormwarning", and is an inspiration for tales of glory, war, and death and of course love.. And even for the well acquainted, Ten re-ignite memories of their earlier albums “The Name of The Rose” and “Spellbound”.
“Stormwarning” is Ten’s ninth original studio album. Considered by many fans and critics to be the best expression of British Classic Hard Rock in the nineties, Ten have won several reader’s charts in BURRN magazine (Japan’s leading HR / HM publication) and entered the sales charts in Germany as well Japan.

Inside The Pyramid Of Light
Ten Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The stars light her face, celestial embrace tonight
The Queen she bathed in incense, her daddy’s little princess
Like the Nile, she’s a sacred river
I’m like a beast to the slaughter
Gods could not have taught her what she knows
When she’s in control
Deeper than my soul
She read the great book of lovers, cover page to cover
Spins me like a top tonight
Inside the pyramid of light
She’ll put the desert in your soul
She is the isthmus
Standing in her light, away into the night we go
Inside the pyramid of light
Within the myriad of gold
My Cleopatra, timeless as the Nile
Mysterious and wild tonight
Inside the pyramid of light
I came from the North with legions and a cause of fight
But tall city walls could not resist the force tonight
The moment that I kissed her, “My Anthony” she whispered
When she spoke it was sweet and low
“lust treat your heart as a weakness
Hide it with the things you never show
Never let them show”
Down, down, down
Inside the pyramid of light
She’ll put the desert in your soul
She is the isthmus
Standing in her light, away into the night we go
Inside the pyramid of light
Within the myriad of gold
My Cleopatra, timeless as the Nile
Mysterious and wild tonight
Inside the pyramid of light
The lyrics of "Inside The Pyramid Of Light" by Ten are about a woman, referred to as the Queen, who is depicted as powerful and mysterious, and her relationship with the singer, who is presumably a soldier serving under Mark Antony. The Queen is compared to the Nile, a sacred river in Egypt, and is said to know things that the gods themselves could not teach. The singer admits that he is incapable of resisting her and that she manipulates him and controls him effortlessly. The second verse reveals that the singer is there with armies and force, presumably to conquer the Queen and her kingdom. However, even the city walls are powerless against the magnetic pull of the Queen. When the singer finally shares a moment with her and kisses her, she calls him "my Anthony", creating a parallel with the history of Mark Antony and his relationship with Cleopatra.
The pyramid represents a symbol of the timeless wisdom of Egypt, and hence the song talks about the power and mystery that this ancient land holds. The Queen, in this song, is a powerful Egyptian woman who can control her lovers with ease. The lyrics have various elements that explore this power dynamic between the Queen and whoever comes in contact with her. The Queen is presented as a fierce yet alluring character that can put the desert in anyone's soul.

The moment that I kissed her, “My Anthony” she whispered
As soon as I kissed her, she whispered, 'My Anthony'
When she spoke it was sweet and low
When she spoke, it was with a soft and sweet voice
“lust treat your heart as a weakness
She advised me to treat my heart like a weakness
Hide it with the things you never show
To hide it behind the things that are never shown
Never let them show”
Never let the emotions and vulnerabilities show
Inside the pyramid of light
Within the mystical pyramid of light
