Kamelot - The Human Stain Lyrics






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 concerned
Don't you think the human races
Is ceaselessly vain

[Chorus:]
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 if the Earth goes under
Where's your anger now

[Chorus:]
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

[Solo]

Tic-Toc
The ticking at the tear asunder
The beating from a heart of stone
The loss of your divine prosperity

[Chorus:]
'Cause it costs to
Be alive, my friend
And this life that someone
Merely gave to you

That's the price you take
Minute by minute
You beg for a minute more

    - Disse-lhe Nicodemos: Como pode um
    homem nascer, sendo velho? Pode, porventura, tornar a entrar no ventre
    de sua mãe, e nascer?

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

  30. L.... D....

    I agree with this song and Sam L. Jackson in Kingsman because the only reason animals are going extinct and the earth is being destroyed is because of Humans. I know it's 'cruel and that but human are only growing in population.

  32. M.... R....

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

    M.... R....

    Marcelo Rocha Oh, my God, that's so sad. 😂😂😂👌

  33. X.... ....

    Under-rated song

  34. L.... d....

    Excellent video clip band Kamelot!

  35. B.... ....

    Kudos to Thomas Youngblood and the incredible band, sound, and music he has created. And it is so cool how we can just hop onto Youtube and find these incredible bands. Symphonic power metal is an out of the way genra. But, with Youtube, any true golden and majestic sounds, we can touch our friends and family with no matter where they are.

    And the videos are really cool. We have the sound and the video from a performance captured in time. It's as if Khantatat is still with us singing just as he did in the last decade.

    We are living in incredible times.

    All my best,

    Barbershores

  36. S.... P....

    Add &fmt=18 does not work anymore, and today isn't necessary

  38. A.... K....

  39. g.... ....

    No one really wants to die. Period. The extension "to save the world" isn't even needed.

  40. M.... �....

    I love their videos. Kamelot is one of those bands that you simply cannot forget & dislike even if you like extreme metal.

  41. K.... M....

    This song has such an amazing "rhythm".

  42. M.... M....

    my favorite song of the album

  64. M.... R....

    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

  65. A.... K....

    my favourite...

  66. E.... A....

    ahhh my fav song by kamelot <3

  67. D.... ....

    Human Stain nur Sandy...
    Für immer.

  68. R.... B....

    How is it that this is not the biggest band in the world?

  69. o.... ....

    Just started listening to this band. Other favorites include Dio, Black Sabbath, Korn, Epica, Oomph!, Rammstein and evanescence

  70. F.... ....

    now this is what i call metal this is way better then bvb and AA and every other mainstream bands

  71. C.... ....

    I think it is a little weird to say that roy khan "made" the band. Roy is a really good singer and he definetly was an important part of the band. But just to say, imagine all their songs without bass, or without keys, or drums. That would be terrible, if you look at it that way you should say that they all "made" the band. It is called a band for a reason, not because only the singer is important. I find it sad to see that people only look at roy khan then. As if the rest of the band doesn't matter anyway. as long as they have khan, it is kamelot: Replace him, it is not kamelot anymore. But replace anyone else from the band, and it is still kamelot. That is basically what you are saying with "roy khan made the band". That is just kinda stupid..

  72. 1.... ....

    What a beautifully dark take on the burdens of this place called earth.

  73. S.... ....

    One of my all-time favorite songs.<3

  74. K.... ....

    This song is a masterpiece. 

  75. B.... P....

    WHAT A SONG..

  76. T.... S....

    Why can't I give more than 1 like ?! :D

  77. K.... N....

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

  78. L.... ....

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

  79. S.... ....

    Yes they are. They've said in numerous interviews.

  80. N.... R....

    I can feel you, dude.

  81. B.... D....

    this song hit me so hard u.u

  82. A.... H....

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

    A.... H....

    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

    A.... H....

    Actualy their drummer just filled in for Queensryche last year

  83. A.... M....

    I was doing the same thing~!! But instead of a dragon, it was an assassin.

  84. D.... C....

    0:30 kind of what angels like playing in heaven

  85. S.... ....

    His vocals improved a lot since this :O I was quite surprised, when I heard one of the younger recordings

  86. D.... ....

    This song is just fucking amazing!

  87. E.... K....

    ist glaub ich mit einer der wenigen melodic death metal bands in den usa die kommen sonst aus finnland oder so wie sonata arctica

  88. P.... #....

    Kamelot and Nightwish are two amazing groups. Real fans don't argue about which is better, they accept that both are mind blowing.

  89. A.... 9....

    Ich liebe kamelot *-*

    A.... 9....

    Nina Steinbach und ich liebe dich

    A.... 9....

    Das tun wir alle 😍

  90. A.... S....

    just best lyric ever

  91. i.... ....

    woah, general zod sings for a metal band?

  92. C.... ....

    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.

    C.... ....
