"Hand of Sorrow" is a song by the Dutch rock band Within Temptation taken from their fourth album "The Heart of Everything". The song is part of the promotion for their 2008 live DVD, "Black Symphony", according to their web page, as well as "Forgiven", which was released as a single. There have been no official confirmations as to whether or not Hand Of Sorrow will be a single release.

On September 17, 2008, the band released a new webpage, [http://www.blacksymphony.nl blackymphony.nl] , for further promotion of the DVD. On this page a competition was announced, where fans are encouraged to make their own music video for Hand of Sorrow, based on the live performance from the dvd. The winner will have their contribution become the official music video for the song and will be invited (from anywhere in the world) with a friend to Within Temptation's seated show in Haarlem on November 27th with VIP tickets, as well as having dinner with Sharon den Adel and Robert Westerholt and will have a get-together with the whole band after the show. The winner will also receive a Within Temptation merchandise pack. The winner will be flown to and from Amsterdam, and transport from the airport to the hotel where they will be staying for two nights, and to the venue, will be provided. If the winner is Dutch or Belgian, they will receive a Panasoncd HD TV and Blu-Ray DVD player in lieu of flights as they do not need to be flown to the Netherlands, as well as a signed Black Symphony Blu-ray disc.

The 10 next best videos will be rewarded with a package containing a T-shirt (men’s/girls design) & a signed ‘Black Symphony’ Special Edition.

There will also be a prize for the most viewed video. The most viewed video will receive a Panasonic Blu-ray player with a signed ‘Black Symphony’ Blu-ray Disc. cite web |url=http://www.blacksymphony.nl/index.php?module=pages&page=prizes |title=Competition prizes from blacksymphony.nl |accessdate=2008-10-11 |date=2008-10-11]
