King of Sorrow
by August Burns Red

Album: Phantom Anthem

Verse 1
I'm the angel of the dead
Take a good look at me (Take a good look at me)
Grief is my guilty pleasure
I'm taking comfort in your pain

Verse 2
My happiness is your defeat
Your heartache makes me feel so complete
The compliments roll in and remind me I'm a good friend
I'm here for you until the end

Pre-Chorus
Open the door, let me in
I need you, you need me too
Open the door, let me in
Let me in

Chorus
I am the king, king of sorrow
I am the king, king of sorrow
Bow to me now, give me your tears
I am the king, king of sorrow

Bridge
Rest assured that everything will be okay
It's all going according to plan
Let me speak for you in these times of dread
I'll be your guide, now please just rest your head

Verse 3
I am the dead ringer
If it bleeds then it leads
Misery loves company and you've just met your match

Pre-Chorus
Open the door, I'll leave you be
Thank you for your sympathy
Open the door, I'll leave you be
I am the saint of empathy

Ending
Farewell (Farewell)
Farewell (Farewell)
Farewell (Farewell), I've consumed all that I need
Farewell (Farewell), I am the saint of empathy
