Kamelot - Leaving Too Soon

Japanese/Korean bonus track off of the Silverthorn album.
There wasn't a good video of this, so I felt I would fix the situation.

I do not own the picture, nor the music, nor did I create either.
All music by Kamelot and associated organisations.
Made with Windows Movie Maker, because I'm too lazy to get something better.

Lyrics:
Close your eyes and count to ten,
I dare you.
I will catch your fall,
it takes a dreamer to believe.

Make a wish and take a stand,
I promise the world to you.
The sun will paint your face with gold,

saying "You don't have to live afraid,

because we're all leaving too soon.
In a moment of sobriety, we learn to see
we are not meant to stay for eternity.
Don't use the time you have to dream away."

Weigh the future in your hand tomorrow,
today has gone to sleep
only to wake up yesterday.

Cross the borders of your land,
the soil beneath with crumble.
The sun will light the fire in your eyes again,

saying "You don't have to die afraid,
because we're all leaving too soon.
In a moment of sobriety, we learn to see
we are not meant to stay for eternity.
Don't use the time you have to dream away."

Because we're all leaving too soon.
In a moment of sobriety, we learn
we are not meant to stay for eternity,
so use the time you have to live your dream!

Better than most of the songs on the album. And not because the album is bad, but because this song is just so good!

[MrMetalbone]

Personally, I take this song as the band's final ode to Khan, appreciating everything he has done with the band trough all those years :)

Tommy’s voice is amazing and this song is really good too he’s one of the coolest human beings on earth.

[ProgrsvTechniq]

Why are the bonus tracks always so good... like the shadows, pendulous fall, this song...
and for the ppl arguing about Roy vs tommy.. seriously, check out Roys younger live albums (when he was like tommys age now) such as the expedition, or conception live in Germany, and understand how vocal fatigue works, and realize Roy poured out his soul at every show for decades. Bottom line is they are both great singers, and I don't think anyone else would have been a better replacement. Be happy they can keep playing and delivering awesome vocals. And if you still think Roy isn't as good, you definitely haven't heard his live albums yet. Even one cold winters night is amazing and he's really fatigued for that one. But he delivers nonetheless. Sorry for lack of caps and punctuation, I'm on a touch screen.

The hidden gems of Kamelot re the best !!!

Kamelot - Leaving Too Soon = Epica -  Originem

[Sky-duby]

Somehow, I'm just listening to this for the first time now. Imo It's really cool that Kamelot and Epica both used the same motif for their releases, I love finding musical references/links to other songs when I'm listening to music.

[Kokobot]

Tommy really channels the quiet power of Roy's voice, and this song is my favourite of the new Kamelot. I'm so impressed and mesmerized by this pretty song.

[Daanee]

All times' greatest melodical metal LP. Even its extra songs are timeless masterpieces, like this one.

[Hugodoys]

I really like how Tommy is working so far with Kamelot. People, stop trying to have another Kahn... let`s move on.

[CallingCrowe]

Japan typically gets extra bonus material because albums are a lot more expensive there. The equivalent of like $30-$50 American is apparently about average.

[antservantes]

Didn't hear this track before!! It's amazing! Waiting for the brand new Kamelot masterpiece this spring!

[Fher]

a beautiful song. kamelot does it again!! I can't stop listening to it

[prometeusguitars]

Greatest track from a great album. I remember I was in Tokyo for holidays and used to listen to Silverthorn on the subway, while wondering by myself. Great time. Thanks for uploading it! :-)

[StuartHetzler]

How have I not heard this before?! One of the best from Silverthorn

[stratkarag]

Hold up, hold up. This intro is exactly -EXACTLY like Epica's Originem.... Not sure how to feel about dat

[adequatepianist]

The part at 0:44-0:47 sounds like Descent of the Archangel's opening motif (around 0:50 in)!

[freakfreak]

I have never heard this one before. I have Silverthorn (not the Japan/Korean version obviously) and this is easily the second best song on the album behind Sacrimony. Fantastic!

[misterantonis]

Brings memories from Fourth Legacy, Karma and Epica. Maybe best song from Silverthorn..!!!

[Spartanj]

This might be my favorite Kamelot song actually.
