Lyrics
King of Sorrow
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm the angel of the dead
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, and you need me too
Open the door
Let me in
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 ok
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 your 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 your for your sympathy
Open the door
I'll leave you be
I am the saint of empathy
Farewell
I've consumed all that I need
Farewell
I am the saint of empathy
