Kamelot - Solitaire Lyrics






On a dim December morning
A glass of "I forgot the name"
I can't turn wine to water
I won't come back again

And the minutes turn to hours
I Keep spinning cards that look the same
And I so await the moment
To talk to you...

Please shine oh night, my dear - embrace me

It's time again
All light is banned
My soul is free
And blessed to see

[Chorus:]
Sometimes when I'm out of reach
And sometimes when I'm there
That is when our souls agree and join in solitaire
Sometimes when my will to love has gone away
That is when I hear your name

Now the pale sunlight is blinding
It's here to claim my sanity
I just can't stand the waiting
To revive ecstasy

Please shine oh night, my dear -embrace me

It's time again
All light is banned
My soul is free
And blessed you'll see

[Chorus]

I won't sustain another day
My love, my darkness
Daylight reflects my starving soul
And open wounds for everyone to see

[Chorus 2x]

I want to hear your name
Hear your name

    G.... J....

    Lol here goes another annoying khanfag shitting on every kamelot videos karevik sang don't you guys get the fact that Khan left band by himself? Stupid cunts

    G.... J....

    I really wonder why annoying khanfags like you dont stop whinning and bitching on every kamelot videos after Khan era... though there's a fact that old man left the band because of burnout not tommy

  7. F.... G....

    I don't think they could have replaced Roy better if they tried short of human cloning.

  8. E.... F....

    2:20 is an excellent example of why Tommy Karevik is one the finest vocalists in modern times.

  9. J.... R....

    Some similarities for their older albums, like center of the universe. A great pose, for playing a deck of cards. Thank god I own the CD. Seems to be better than the new album, atleast for me. :)

    Album not on spotify in my region anymore :( thx for youtube-upload tho!

    s.... ....

    This album is not available on many countries on spotify i can't find it

  18. J.... S....

    this comes on when i get really really hardcore into windows solitaire

    J.... S....

    Jeffrey Stevens Perfect use for that song!

  19. t.... .....

    This is not my favorite album, but this is definitly my favorite song !

  20. M.... P....

    I guess there is not lot of us who like Tommy's singing more than Roy's..Although I admire Roy's work a lot..

    M.... P....

    I know this is a year old, so sorry for replying late. But! I like both him & Roy equally. I think he does a super good job with Roy's songs! plus his own.

    M.... P....

    Broken Music Box I too agree, I suppose it doesn't help I started listening late, but I like both but I like the songs Tommy did a little better but that's just me

    M.... P....

    I can barely hear a difference, unless I did not hear the other one

    M.... P....

    Dude tommy is 1000000000 times better than Roy. But... Not in fucking Kamelot..

  21. U.... H....

    I like Tommy's voice.  And Roy's.  I like them both.

  22. E.... ....

    Nice theme and nice voice! o.O

  23. F.... Z....

    i dont like the swedish vocalist, i liked norwegian Roy Khan better. because i'm from norway so ^^

  24. C.... ....

    they come up with the best power metal choruses everytime!

    C.... ....

    EXACTLY thats what i keep saying .Almost every chorus they make is EPIC

    C.... ....

    Carlos Canales Vega amaranthe has some, hell better, choruses, but they have better flow in my opinion

  25. r.... ....

    I totally wrote this album (and band) off after Poetry For The Poisoned, which never clicked with me. I gave this a fair shot just recently...and I'm blown away. Some of their best work. I'm glad one of my favorite bands is at their full potential once again.

    r.... ....

    @racewiththefalcons1 sure poetry for the poisoned wasn't their greatest work but how many great albums have they come out with? I'll usually give a band a pass on an album once in a while if they are pretty consistent otherwise. On that note, within temptation did the opposite when they came out with the unforgiving. I want more material like that from them. The whole album blew my away... tangents >.>

    r.... ....

    +racewiththefalcons1 Hah, so I was not alone like this! Gost Opera and PotP were so disgustingly crappy that I dropped my hopes for Kamelot. Yesterday decided to get Silverthorn at last. No regrets.

    Though Haven is a sad crap again, sadly.

    r.... ....

    racewiththefalcons1 poetry for the poisoned is my third favourite album by them along with epica and karma at number one, but I guess to each their own. Am I right?

  26. V.... D....

    muito foda

  27. V.... L....

    Sometimes when I'm out of reach, and sometimes when I'm there
    That is when our souls agree to join in solitaire
    Sometimes when my will to love has gone away
    That is when I hear your name.

    V.... L....

    nice profile name there

    V.... L....

    @KBWHumor
    c:

  28. V.... ....

    More people need to know about this song, it's awesome.

  29. U.... M....

    A band that names two different songs literally the same thing? : /

  30. A.... D....

    Kamelot should let him sing with his full power( he doesn't even sing with half of his vocal power with them ) and let him be himself just like he is with SW.
    I understand that they are two different bands but since Kamelot got a new singer they should start changing a bit their sound. It's useless to force him to sing like Khan because nobody can sing like him. I can barely hear any high notes or vocal riffs/runs (which are the most unique parts of Tommy's voice ) in Silverthorn :/.

    A.... D....

    Tommy in an interview with Kamelot Germany in 2012:  "I totally get when people say ‘Oh Tommy is singing on that album, but he has much more potential’ or whatever, but that’s not what it’s about, to show your whole potential in every single song. The goal is to make the listener feel what you feel, not just to do a roller-coaster of melodies."

    In the same interview he also says that "The vibe in the music is already there, you just have to follow it and it would be strange if I sang a bunch of Seventh Wonder stuff above this kind of music, you know?" And I agree with him (I say this a big fan of both Kamelot and SW).

    A.... D....

    @subwaytosally18642 Oh.Ok. I didn't know. Thanks for informing me.

  31. T.... ....

    Oh my god, this is Amazing!

  32. c.... ....

    I want Kahn Back, it just doesnt feel the same.

    c.... ....

    Shit happens, I read that he left for personal issues and I just hope he's okay. The new guy is... well, not AS amazing as Khan, but I think he's pretty damn good. Reminds me of Journey making their comeback with Arnel Pineda.

    c.... ....

    Tommy is a great singer. Check out Seventh Wonder. Dude Khan quit. He fucking quit Kamelot...Tommy has some major balls to step in and try to replace him. Just wait for the next record he's gonna find his own style with Kam and rock it even harder. I met him in Anaheim last year and he's a cool dude too

    c.... ....

    @Adam Youdell agreed

    c.... ....

    I agree completely. The guys make up a great band, I'd love to listen to any day. Major props to Tommy for stepping in and keeping the band alive. For me, Roy was the main reason why I loved Kamelot. That and Casey. Always going to miss Roy.

  33. M.... P....

    I prefer The spell over this, but its not bad :-/

  34. G.... S....

    I was suggested this song. This is the best thing ever. 

  35. g.... m....

    this song is so hard to find because on ghost opera they have a song named exactly the same

  36. s.... ....

    ...and that is when I hear YOUR name!!!

  37. L.... P....

    Not exactly my cup of tea...

    L.... P....

    No one gives a damn

    L.... P....

    @Zen Razor Hey dude it is his opinion let him speak it without ridiculing him. I mean it's not like he gave a stupid and invalid argument against it. He just said that it wasn't his cup of tea.

    L.... P....

    @Daniel Miller Yeah and im giving my opinion. Kamelot doesn't need hate its underrated and to have people bashing it is ridiculous he didn't need to comment either. Theres music I dont like but I dont go around saying I dont like it. Its his opinion fine but dont try saying you dont like it with no explanation why

    L.... P....

    @Zen Razor Opinions are not factual. You asserted that nobody gave a damn.

    L.... P....

    @Juan's Father Obviously. But it statement still stand just like his opinion.

  38. C.... ....

    PMRants army!

    C.... ....

    @Lucien Lachance lel, pewdiepie fan over here

    C.... ....

    @***** Yeah, I'm a PMRants fan. He's pretty cool.

    C.... ....

    I think I've seen you on some on Thunderf00t's vids, though.

    C.... ....

    And the Amazing Atheist's videos.

    C.... ....

    @Lucien Lachance I'm sorry but i never did the Dark Brotherhood questline i got 2 quests in and stopped.

  39. L.... C....

    I messages Casey about the double bass and he said that he loved this cd for the double bass I totally agree!!

  40. V.... S....

    This song is so beautiful, I love it.

  41. c.... ....

    I lurv Kamelot

  42. M.... P....

    So glad I found this video. Since "Solitaire" is also the name of the intro track on Ghost Opera this track is an absolute pain to find anywhere.

    M.... P....

    This songs on spotify same album name silverthorn

  43. M.... ....

    God I love the chorus of this song.

    M.... ....

    It's addicting.

  44. C.... H....

    Sometimes when my will to love has gone away That is when I hear your name... I love this part 

  45. D.... ....

    I have been looking for this song for about a month now.
    Thank you for posting this.

  46. m.... ....

    I LOVE POWER METAL!
