August Burns Red - King Of Sorrow Lyrics






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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    August burns red
    As I lay dying
    Bullet for my valentine
    Trivium
    Killswitch engage
    For today

    A tour with these bands would be heaven

  5. J.... D....

    People saying they are better than PWD are out of their mind. Dont see killswitch opening up for them this spring. There good but they aint PWD.

  6. H.... ....

    How can this not have more views? Freaking AWESOME!

  7. v.... ....

    This song FUCKING SLAPS!!!

  8. O.... K....

    They are the most normal looking you could ever imagine and then they start playing..

  9. D.... 1....

    That scream at 3:04. Damn!

  10. �.... Y....

    ¡halleluYAHUAH!

  11. h.... ....

    Why do you have to be Jesusy? You're so god damn good!

  12. C.... T....

    This song is an awesome contrast to “Fault Line”. It’s like listening to the dark side of that song. You think the band did that for a reason? While Fault Line talks about being there for a friend who needs you, King of Sorrow is talks about how being there for someone can become very self centered because it becomes about the praise you get from being such a good guy, vs actually being there for someone because you care for them.

  13. S.... ....

    That scream at 3:34 is epic

  14. M.... ....

    Digging the Nosferatu atmosphere.

  15. K.... B....

    3:34 😍

  16. B.... F....

    After Jake comes in with the "I am the king...", I wonder how no one died.

  17. C.... ....

    This song is a BANGER

  18. s.... g....

    D.... ....

    3:30 my friend

  23. A.... B....

    Sound is great!!
    Awesome band!!!

  24. Z.... F....

    I mean, this is some of the heaviest stuff I’ve heard in a while. I love it. Seen it live. Been in the mosh pit. 12 out of 10 would do again.

  25. E.... :....

    2:00 T-POSE

  26. J.... A....

    Esta banda cada vez me sorprende mas!! So fucking amazing!

  29. M.... H....

    Gonna see them this Friday! Odessa Texas!

  30. J.... G....

    Go listen to The River by Wage War and you'll hear some good music from a band that isn't afraid to change LMFAO everyone says Wage War is trash and I wanna show you something, listen for yourself

  31. G.... T....

    *Officially my favourite metalcore song!*

  32. J.... D....

    Aloneinaroomwithalampcore

  33. A.... Z....

    Nice record.. awesome guitar tone

  34. S.... ....

    Quite possibly the most beauitiful metalcore guitar solo in recent memory.

  35. C.... a....

    This song is a masterpiece, bravo!

  36. R.... B....

    iyi hissettiğim yerlerden birisin

  37. C.... ....

    Their sound has changed so much over time, but they still go back to their roots consistently. This song would be right at home on Messengers. Better method than simply abandoning your sound like Parkway Drive (though I do actually like some of PWD's new stuff).

  38. G.... S....

    My favourite song

  39. G.... T....

    everyone break their necks at 3:30

  40. M.... K....

    If you don't headbang to this song, FAREWELLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  41. S.... G....

    🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼

  42. T.... ....

    This video is ridiculously inaccurate... JB never wears shoes.

  43. F.... ....

    BOW TO ME NOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!!!!!

  44. B.... B....

    Why does every ABR song have the same beat?


    And Alex terrible is better

  45. T.... A....

    Holy shit There rhythm Section works there asses off.

  46. A.... ....

    This band sucks

  47. S.... R....

    ABR-gods of metalcore

  48. T.... B....

    Twilight zone

  49. A.... S....

    August Burns Soul

  50. J.... G....

    Arguing about which band is better proves exactly that you guys have your intestines attached to your brains.

    Guess what? No band is better than the other and the point of music is to be listened, enjoyed and be fan of them. You can always like many of them without judging the other and if you don't like another anymore don't listen to them, period.

    They will still make music and there will always be those who like them.

    Grow up for music's sake.

  51. I.... V....

    Hear a lot of Between the buried and me in this song. Amazing song.

  52. n.... l....

    Does 2:30 - 2:50 give anyone else goosebumps ?!?!?!?!?

  53. A.... ....

    I LOVE YOU GUYS, BUT MOST ESPECIALLY, SONGS LIKE THIS. RAINBOWS APPEAR

    A.... ....

    I made a cover of Identity - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_tmcJeJY7s :D

  54. A.... S....

    In the name of christ...hell fuckin yeah

  55. M.... ....

    2:00 Asserting dominance through the act of T-posing (dead meme ik)

  56. R.... g....

    The best !

  57. A.... J....

    holy fk this is so good

  58. K.... A....

    Its funny everyone in here forget that As i lay dying is the best metalcore on the planet

    K.... A....

    Koming Alvin booooo

  59. J.... 3....

    Isn’t this band a Christian band? I could have sworn it was.

  60. M.... ....

    MEU DEUS, QUE POVO ABENÇOADO . . FELIZ POR VCS, O BRASIL AMA VCS! BOLSONARO17

  61. S.... L....

    -Jason

  68. D.... ....

    3:30 SHIVERS... HOLY FUUUUUUUCK

  69. L.... R....

    His throat gotta be hurting after this

  70. D.... b....

    They gotta lay off those interludes lmao. I love interludes as much as the next guy but I think they are using them far too often.

  71. K.... ....

    Sooooooo badass, this band, this song!!!

  72. I.... O....

    Best song on the album

  73. C.... ....

    They never disappoint and never lose their essence. That's why I love this band !! Unlike many bands that have currently lost their essence!!

  74. A.... K....

    I've never listened to this band before, but 2:44...omg! :D

  75. K.... K....

    That fanfare type stuff around 2:30 to 3:00 reminds me a lot of Colors (specifically "Ants of the Sky") by Between the Buried and Me. Really cool song though!

  76. R.... J....

    *THAT DOES IT*
    i think i love ABR again

  77. v.... ....

    How would I work out without these guys

  78. f.... m....

    https://youtu.be/S72r1_xaCJE

  79. a.... a....

    Still metalcore
    ,not like shit metalcore👍👍

  80. d.... ....

    if you're a fan of this then check out our new single "Meaningless": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGDC2Xn_P0o&feature=youtu.be

  81. B.... B....

    That scream at 2.45 underlining why this band is always at the very top.

    B.... B....

    Going to see them live next month too.

  82. I.... A....

    BR ❤️💥

  83. �.... ....

    these kinds of songs are always rebranded but are still the same shit over and over again and only those who are musically deaf are the only one who would love these generic bands

    �.... ....

    【OverBored】 it sounds good so get fucked lol

  84. T.... ....

    zou het toch fijn zijn als ze deze muziek op dat kut 538 zouden draaien inplaats van die commerciele bullshit

  85. B.... B....

    I don't understand how technically sound and musically inclined beasts like these 5 aren't world famous. Do we need more metal fans? Will it never be mainstream?
    These guys deserve far more fame and fortune than those talentless twats in the pop world...

    B.... B....

    Pain, never mind. Just saw your videos. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

    B.... B....

    @Pain I don't even play guitar and I'd sound better than the dogshit I just watched on your channel. Normie :)

    B.... B....

    It's because they're technically a "Christian" metal band, so they don't get the mainstream coverage that all the other metal bands get.

    B.... B....

    a ton of people don't like the singing. I really enjoy harsh vocals like this but you have to understand clean singing is what most people enjoy.

  86. B.... B....

    Fucking GODS!!! 5 Talented guys.. iron maiden of M.C

  87. C.... C....

    one of the greatest Christian bands out there!

  88. J.... S....

    4:3 is a nice touch

  89. R.... W....

    Easy one of the best metal songs created IMO. Seriously dude those ` "FAREWELL" to the mind rippingly high "FAREWELL" ` 's are literally just amazing.

  90. s.... ....

    That scream at 3:34! holy fuck that's bad ass!

  91. K.... K....

    ໂຄດໆ ໄດ້ໃຈເດັກແນວ

  92. T.... M....
