Kamelot - The Human Stain [Official Music Video]

[@mpbsmithaa]

The lyrics man... the lyrics!

[@VulgrimOfficial]

Joseph Thiery thought the same!!!!

[@VulgrimOfficial]

*The Human Stain* See the cemetery sky, carmine red and deep. Watch the oceans rising high, it’s the human stain. Talk about the growing hunger, ask why with deep concern. Don’t you think the human race is ceaselessly vain. But it hurts to be alive, my friend! In this silent tide we're driftwood passing by. Don’t you wish you were a child again, just for a minute, just for a minute more. Hear the ticking of a clock, the sound of life itself. No one really wants to die to save the world. Tell me that you're torn asunder from how we fail to learn. And tell me as the earth goes under, where’s your anger now? So it hurts to be alive, my friend! In this masquerade where all one day must die. Don’t you wish you were unborn again, just for a minute, just for a minute more. Tic toc! The ticking that could tear asunder, the beating from a heart of stone, the lust of your divine prosperity. Because it costs to be alive, my friend! And this life that someone merely gave to you. That's the price you pay, minute by minute, you beg for a minute more.

I love Roy Khan. My favourite singer

[@ahmedbahauldeen1557]

He plays his voice like an instrument

[@tidio117]

I really miss Roy... He sings with his soul, this song is really profound and it leads me to think deeply about a lot of aspects of life... Thank you Roy for this kind of enlighment

[@Unyubaby]

Every time I hear the singer's voice, I feel the desire to listen to more.

[@nimanima777]

When he sings "minute by minute" at the end... holy shit the emotion! Just amazing, the first time I heard this I was literally in awe.

[@drumbuddy109]

this is definitly one of the greatest band ever. there skill as a band is unmatched

[@mattcase9]

kick ass vocals..can never get bored at the way he sings

[@akisstat]

My favourite Kamelot song .... not their best for sure , but it has a deep meaning ... love it !!!!!

[@carin4139]

"So it hurts to be alive, my friend"❤

[@crowen9]

I'm certain about one thing: the lead singer is one of the best darn vocals I have ever heard! Just beautiful!

[@clonmult]

Why have I only just found Kamelot? My life now feels complete!

[@superdome65]

this is opera/metal at its finest... its so incredibly melodic

[@sineastra2414]

No one noticed the uniqueness of the lyrics? Best lyrics i've ever heard. 2015 ftw.!

[@ivaylo.minkov]

2018 still the best

[@Ba8ygirl666]

Roy Khan always knows how to relax me when I'm angry or upset...I love his voice

[@gemisthegod2]

This song's lyrics are so spot on on describing how pessimistic the life can be. I love this song and it's prolly ma favourite song from kamelot as well

[@1314Fher]

Damn, i get chills. Every single time.

[@CyricRO]

This is the best song in the world, so much meaning and passion. Everything... soo... tragically beautiful.

[@theuninspiredpoet]

Khan is by far my favourite male singer on the metal scene. This is one of my favourite Kamelot songs!

[@mendezbigniew]

I understand the part of Roy, and I wish all happiness and gratitude for a demonstration of his voice in Kamelot. And members of Kamelot, all sorts and support, thanks for all musicality in all this time. Continue to follow their good message!

[@elizabethali5886]

This song gives me goosebumps every time I hear it. Will always be one of my favorite Kamelot songs.

[@Tallorian]

I second that!

[@pasko1983]

Kamelot rocks! The drumming in the chorus is astonishing! Casey Grillo has managed to build his own unique style through the years, and I think that nowadays he is one of the best metal drummer!

[@CoheedHero]

i love how kamelot's earlier stuff is pretty much just straight power metal, but the newer stuff has kinda branched off of it into it's own very unique sound. makes me appreciate them as writers alot more.

[@DrizztDoUrden1234567]

I agree with Jagster, Roy Khan has some of the most unique vocals I have ever heard. I think he used to also sing operatic. I fell in love with his voice the first time I heard it

[@l4nc0r]

Deep down inside of everyone is the longing to be a child again, yet in this life or the next we will regain that childhood we so desperately want again.

[@GardenOfXavius]

I cant understand why they haven't gotten more views. They are just soooo good. Favourite band over all ~ love you.

[@1011awesomeness]

The saddest thing for me is that when i find sick-awesome kickass music I become addicted...but when I listen to it after 100 times, the music loses it's magic and I get tired of it. I'd hate to get tired of Kamelot THE BEST FREAKIN BAND IN THE WORLD. I hope their songs never lose their magic ever and I never get tired of listening to them.

[@SsecretSoul]

No importa cuantas veces la escuche, esta melodia siempre me hace estremecer... Una de mis favoritas desde luego...

[@Masgone.]

this keyboard riff is so freaking awesome -it makes me want to cry

[@Onyxiana]

I love Kamelot. His voice is unique and beautiful, the genere is awesome.

[@Thermenthrous]

I f**king love kamelot, will always be one of my favorite bands!

[@efischer2012]

My favourite Kamelot song...lets get it to 2 million views in remembrance of Roy!

[@LejonKralemann]

Brilliant song. Brilliant band. They touch my soul.

[@jameswentworth9409]

if Roy was around I kinda wanna see him and Tommy do an album together just cause I love both of their abilities of being a singer for this band

[@FlixPat]

11 years later, I still haven't managed to listen to Human Stain without crying. And it's not even my favorite track from them, my undisputed favorite band. No lineup changes will ever be able to diminish the depth of my love for you guys.

[@MarceloRocha-pd3ri]

"Don't you wish to be a child again?" -> adults after become parents

[@Klauspicy]

My favorite song from Kamelot. Can't believe its nearly 10 years.

[@aprilharris7476]

I LOVE it...just found them! I wonder if Queensryche is one of their inspirations. Sounds a "little" bit like them.

[@cassondramousseau5155]

April H Yes actually my dad and I looked it up and that's what my dad said when I showed him this band LOL

[@rivlesbeware]

Actualy their drummer just filled in for Queensryche last year

[@Yvonne_2473]

Best song along with Rule The World on the Ghost Opera album! The lyrics are especially awesome in this one. Kamelot forever!

[@Ayr0music]

this song hit me so hard u.u

[@MsCookiethief]

I started listening to Kamelot just resently, and I have to say that this band is on a total different level than most of those I have listened to! Khans voice - i don't know what to say - it is incredible, magnificent, beautiful and unforgettable. No one can oust Kamelot!

[@2460none]

The tombstone with the cross at 3:18 has the date MMXXIIV, which its probably MMXXIV, which is 2024. I wonder if there is a significance, or if it's just a tombstone

[@ShakkoX3]

Just discovered Kamelot a few days ago... This song actually moved me to tears. I hope they tour near central florida sometime. Definitely one of my fave bands now!

[@SymbolicBodom]

Beautiful memories... \m/.

[@kornnotboy]

KAMELOT IS THE BEST BAND ON THE PLANET!

[@CedricBale]

Annotation: "Watch in HD!" Me: "Alright, sure." >click quality button >see it's already on highest quality >highest quality is 240p >feel troll'd Really liking this band, though.

[@lewisdiana364]

same

[@Spacefrisian]

2007 vid after all.

[@gator9339]

Well this video is old af

[@Shan81044]

Excellent video clip band Kamelot!

[@aroking]

I saw them live 6 days ago. I shook hands with Roy and ended up with four of his water bottles.

[@monkeygirl3000]

I just now came across Kamelot. I was listening to symphony x and i looked over at the suggested artist list . . . . . and bam my life is changed. Where have i BEEN

[@Rune1h]

Reading this, I can't help but wonder now, when the album is out... What do you think now? I actually was in doubt to, when I first the news and started listening to Seventh Wonder. I wondered if he really was going to fit. To be honest I think he does an amazing job with Kamelot, and I am happy it was him who replaced Roy and not someone else. Yes, he is not Roy, he's Tommy, and I think he's amazing as he is.

[@VulgrimOfficial]

POTWIZZ Yes man!!!! Yes!!!!😘

[@SirGirBot]

One of my all-time favorite songs.

[@DarkGame11]

This song is just fucking amazing!

[@AvengeWithDarkness]

His voice is divine... One of the best vocalists out there ,in my opinion.

[@Salyadore]

The new vocalist is incredibly talented, but dammit do I miss Roy Khan. So much.

[@TimK789]

Best metal band ever without no doubt :) They bring something new to metal that I've never heard. F*CK YEAH KAMELOT FTW!!

[@itsstevenix]

just for a minute....just for a minute...more...

[@FEDS91]

Just saw these guys last night in St. Paul, Minnesota. UNBELIEVABLE show for such a small venue. They sounded amazing and the crowd had a blast.

[@ProjectJotunOfficial]

Nostalgic!

[@KamiSoda]

But it hurts to be alive, my friend In this silent tide we're driftwood passing by Don't you wish you were a child again Just for a minute just for a minute more

[@Bawnawgwa]

Just saw them live with Tommy. He was perfect! I hope they keep him. I worry with the news of nightwish abruptly getting rid of Anette... And Kamelot had Fabio after Roy and now Tommy... So I hope they settle with Tommy. His voice was an AMAZING replacement.

[@ZexenXhaos]

Jesus, the chorus. I get goosebumps every time. EVERY. FUCKING. TIME.

[@ninarider5652]

I can feel you, dude.

[@fishbaugh666]

the sound and look of this vid, really good. kamelot is an awesome band.

[@LordTweedz]

"watch in HD!" - 240 ... guess the definition of "hd" changed quite a bit^^

[@demonAnarchy]

KAMELOT IS LIKE THE BEST SINGER EVER!! Hes voices is amazing and i love how he act in the videos. Peoples shot hear more about him. =)

[@SenpaiTorpidDOW]

His gesticulation is quite impressive even though I never even noticed it -_-

[@Warheart11]

this song makes me have to fight back tears every time i hear it, and fucking NEVER cry, thats how damn moving khans vocals are, best clean vocalist inthe world

[@geraldgambler7276]

that guy is way to cool were can i learn those hand movements lol

[@Valtiel1605]

Kamelot truly is musical perfection

[@guadalupesanchez9613]

Is the drumer Casey Grillo? Because he looks so different in The pendulous fall

[@ivaylo.minkov]

Yes. It's him. It's little older in The pendulous fall.....

[@Okrutni]

Kamelot is not an emo band!!!! Just straight in your face power metal with an awesome singer. Sadly underrated and unknown band...here in North America.....KAMELOT ROCKS!!!!!!

[@felipesoliman3417]

This song matches withs actual world pandemic state. Look what we've done. All the scratches in our motherland. Can we repair it someday? Or are we doomed within her fall?

[@jericho4004]

the harmony part with the soaring vocals and the guitar during the chorus is fantastic!

[@TheExjen]

@SimulereAvDetPokkerz Sorry but Kamelot was nothing before Khan.Almost everyone knew and loved Kamelot because of Roy Khan... I hope they can go on without him :/

[@1973gir]

brings back so many old memories and each one are great

[@jipak93]

This song made me leave a "human stain" on my pants.

[@myhigherpie2]

these guys take all the cheese out of power metal and just leave complete unbridled awesomeness refined to the most perfect complex form. amazing.

[@inappropro69]

woah, general zod sings for a metal band?

[@Noctamul]

I love this band!!!

[@Kenubinin1]

124 people don't wish to be a child again.

[@sinepanigav123]

I kinda see this song in a new light after seeing the video. I get the 'woe is me' feeling from this. We as humans constantly complain about how life is difficult, but when it comes down to it, we're not really willing to change anything. The line 'and it hurts to be alive' brings this out, but in the end we'll still beg 'for a minute more'.

[@brandonreal916]

good ol 144p days xd

[@mazutinho]

Very... Very...Very... Good!!! a Brazilian fan of metal! Kamelot metal and yes it real! Kamelot and Epica the best !!!

[@Rune1h]

I do agree, their first singer was horrible... But the music was still amazing. And now it's been a while, have you listened to their new stuff? Amazing, Tommy does an amazing job.

[@jbsvpmrn]

Awsome, breathtaking, stunning. Lyrics to this song is work of pure genious - so good it literarly hurts!! Love it.

[@BotShox]

i seem them to 21.03. in Cologne, Germany I love their music, they are so good. Keep on Metal

[@kiikiu]

never ever heard of this band before. Im really impressed. Good song and good band all around

[@Solidsidious]

Kamelot always has the best music video's. I love the clock part...

[@Hickeydog2365]

I love the "clanging" sound the guitars are making. ooooohhhhh this songs sends shivers down my spine.

[@wulfjakal]

i allways cry listenin' to this music...

[@slyroxas]

Yeah xD, Nearly all of Kamelot's songs sound different to each other. Never get bored of them :D.

[@littletinymoon]

Ah, brings me back. Still in love with the lyrics.

[@Builimacen]

Kamelot is just the best band in the world for me! :) love em! ^^

[@berkthgar]

man the vocals in this band are amazing! it suits the music perfectly imo

[@mvtforever]

A video that matches the song - both are excellent! Makes people who are prepared to take on heavy subjects think... that's what's great about Kamelot music and videos - there's usually more to it than you can hear/see.

[@pjsmetal73]

i only been listening to this band for a couple of months, man theyre awesone, i picked up my guitar again after hearing them, anyone else from NZ into this band

[@PsychoticXZ]

its feels that way because it is, I saw them Live in Brisbane 3 weeks ago.. life fulfilled.

[@GeneralArchangel]

I slip into an awe-struck daze whenever I hear Kamelot play. They're positively amazing, and Kahn has a godly voice.

[@jks2389]

My god I can't stop listening to this song its just so beautiful.
