The lyrics and the song of The Arms of Sorrow by Killswitch Engage

[@alexandersteiner213]

Howard's singing eases the pain. Best damn voice in metal.

Favorite part has always been. "The Shadows I cast, follow me down". Gives me chills every time

"Running, always running, into the distance Stop me, before I bleed, again" Is mine

"Building descending into the arms of sorrow" = wrong Blindly descending into the arms of sorrow = wrong Quickly descending into the arms of sorrow = CORRECT The lyric pages online everyone is copying from is wrong

[@prixmalcollects9332]

you have to watch the official video to understand that It is actually Building Descending.

[@kykurosaki635]

Daniel Purpur did you just try to correct the guy that was already correct with something wrong? Yes. You did. It's "blindly" descending. The album literally has a lyric booklet.

[@OfficerK.joe12049]

Crazy how this song describes the situation that’s going on in my head... deeper I’m falling into the arms of sorrow

[@johnnygarcia1759]

I'm right there with you.

[@Warthirium]

No amount of anger, pain, or anguish be strong to set you from imprisonment that encases you in your head. Having a voice while falling but not hearing it. Is torture at its finest. I would relish and stew in my rising rage. It was never enough. I saw this world in the hellfire that racked me. I saw the faces without my pain. Hiding behind a blank smile as howard puts it is in itself one of the many of sufferage. Anger is my demon but its also friend...its not an easy fight

[@Shaundello]

Imprisoned, inside this mind Hiding behind the empty smiles So simple (the anguish) As it mocks me Crawling back into the dark Running, always running, into the distance Stop me before I bleed, again The echoes of my voice Follow me down The shadows I cast Follow me down Deeper I'm falling Into the arms of sorrow Quickly descending Into the arms of sorrow There must be serenity The echoes of my voice Follow me down The shadows I cast Follow me down Deeper I'm falling Into the arms of sorrow Blindly descending Into the arms of sorrow The demons of my own design This horror must not remain Deeper I'm falling Into the arms of sorrow Blindly descending Into the arms of sorrow There must be serenity There must be deliverance Deeper I'm falling Blindly descending Deeper I'm falling I always heard this song in the past when i was sad about humanity!

[@johnnygarcia1759]

My absolute favorite song by them hands down.

[@joe5834]

An old friend and I used to go see alot of bands like unearth and candiria (we loved overcast) in the early 2000s. I'll never forget the morning he died, I peeled the plastic wrap off this CD and just sat on my couch listening to it. I believe this was the third track and it fucking broke me.

[@Fenix316]

sufferd some abuse at a boarding school when I was younger and my family just thought I was trying to come home any way I possibly could. a few years later after I managed to get myself expelled from there. I was told I was a lier, selfish. a financial burden and I had no ambition, my family blamed my drug problem that followed on everything they could that didn't include my apparent lie, truth was I just felt completely alone and the heroin helped me to stop thinking about the two years I had to go through everything a 13/14 year old boy never should. One day at home I thought my family wasn't there and I was feeling like crap. I put this song on loudly, smoked some gear and just laid there feeling the only thing that made me stop my emotions. I didn't realise my mum was there in the hallway listening to the lyrics, when it was over she came in my room and just started crying and telling me how sorry she was, at the time it didn't make me feel guilty for the things I did, but it did make me realise truly how fucked the situation was and that I would really have to make these feelings go away so I kept my mind busy and I started to use it all as an excuse to myself to move forwards with my life, if I've survived this much I can keep going, I was just glad it was over. Its almost been ten years. I turn 23 in a week and whenever I feel crap I play this song and it brings me back to that day I was 14 doped out on heroin with my mum looking at me crying, safe to say I will never let myself be like that again. This song is great and will be with me until I die.

[@littlelizardpsycho5178]

hello Fenix316. Im touched by your story and I hope you're doing much better. Stay positive, keep your head up and always make yourself better for you and to help others if possible. Do know that noone is above or better than you and you are not perfect. Reality is that life is tough at times but got to keep pushing thru. Wishing you the best. PS. This song is the shit. I cranck it up loud on my pa speakers.

[@Takokujin07]

Fenix316 Thank you for being an inspiration, stay as strong as you are! ~

[@themeadowlarkminutewithpau8184]

Fenix316 awesome story, thank you for sharing! I’m sorry that you had those traumatic experiences. I’m glad that this song helped you through it.Music is magical. Perfect example of how art makes the world a much better place. I wish you the best with your journey through life.

[@purebrand1694]

I’ve never had a comment that could make me cry. I feel so bad and down and something else I can’t put into words. This is something related I’m going through. Forgetting what happened as a freshmen and my friends to peruse my dream to being an engineer. It’s hard to forget and well sometimes it’s beautiful. You as a full adult. I will take this is advice And let you know how much this comment meant to me

[@Asif_Ronas]

I used to watch this video back to 2014-15. It was like, my life was stuck in void or something. This song is still in my phone. I often listen to this music.

[@CaptainKnee]

Deeper I'm falling into the arms of sorrow... I think that part should have 1 more loop! :D

I am going through a tough time now and in order to cope, I have buried my feelings and am smiling (sometimes even laughing hysterically at the shit being thrown) but this song is giving me closure. I don't know if I like it but I guess needed it.

[@angiebooker9720]

You like it, you know ya do or you would've stopped listening to it. This is a great song. When a certain song helps you or moves you, that's when you know that artist is talented. Ya gotta give it up for Howard!!!!

Still be the best singer of this band

[@Pierseus]

Best singer? Maybe. Best overall vocalist? Gotta disagree there.

[@lehnmultigamingstreamvod7554]

Please prove me that i'm wrong :'(

[@travitasjamesdimas73]

Howard Jones rules.

[@Pierseus]

+Riot Lehn it's just a matter of personal taste. I like how aggressive Jesse is and it also seems to me that the songs with him as vocalist have more powerful guitar and drums. Howard is definitely awesome, I will agree. I just like Jesse a little more

[@lehnmultigamingstreamvod7554]

[@SpectorCj]

I like Jesse. But, Howard is much better in my opinion.

[@CourtneyLachiver]

Howard's voice is so much smoother and better! I miss him :/

[@GeZz.]

yes we know, howard has a sweet and nice voice, but jesse is good too u know give him a chance.

[@Pierseus]

+G'eZz(Gaston) I've always liked Jesse more. He's more aggressive and the tempos to his song are more in your face. Howard is awesome, don't get me wrong. But Jesse is a more powerful frontman in my opinion, not to mention he is the original vocalist.

[@derekmartinez7134]

Nah, Jesse could covey a wider spectrum of emotion than Howard could. Im not saying I dont like Howard but Jesse was a much more capable and versatile vocalist. Howard came in when KSE was writing their best material, so I feel that lends to people choosing Howard over Jesse.

[@woodyzebrowski1232]

You're right jesse had a much deeper emotion of writing to me when howard does it he over does it with that extra verse or what ever idk to me both are amazing artist

[@MrHanky-lx1us]

How far can I fall before my soul gives up and dies? For all I know it already has. Just a zombie of a human being walking the earth without a soul. It makes sense, I dont feel much of anything anymore. It's all over. I will never find love. I will never find a purpose to my life. If anybody understands this song it's me. Hell, I understand this song more than the artists that made this song. Nothing is left. But this is my fate. I accept the pain. I accept the despair. This is my life, and there is no changing that. I thought about scuicide, but that is a cowards path. I may be a lot of things, most of them bad, but a coward is not one of them. I will take every spred of suffering this existance has in store for my broken soul. Just when I think I can't take anymore, I take some more. It never stops. And I will fight until I take my last breath. Bring the pain motherfucker. I can take it.
