There are quite a few depressing songs aside from my usual taste, i enjoy very much..
i.e.
Rammstein - Seemann (this one has some really nice lyrics)
Nine Inch Nails - Hurt
and some Pink Floyd stuff

Lies and Perfidy
Gentleman of the Road
Nevermore's entire Dreaming Neon Black album.
"Question of Heaven," Iced Earth, especially the last two minutes.
"Clean Today" and "Teargas" by Katatonia...well, pretty much anything on Last Fair Deal Gone Down.
"Anybody Listening?" by Queensryche is fucking AMAZING.
And on the non-metal side of things, "Mad World" (the song at the end of Donnie Darko), "Long Black Veil" by Johnny Cash (and the version by The Band is pretty dark too), and Cash's cover of "Hurt." The original sucks, though.

i was looking for a dead sad song today and this song was exactly what i needed.

I've seen some great examples in this thread. And cheers to Witchfinder General for pointing out the almost completely obscure Scorpions debut record, I love "The Lonesome Crow".
But to me, the most depressing song ever is the 1974 track "Run of the Mill" by Judas Priest, off their debut Rocka Rolla. A depressing song not only has melancholy notes/arrangement, but it has depressing lyrics as well. This combination is no better displayed than in this song. Death, and growing old & lonely occupies my mind too much if I let it, so this song really is sad. Here are the lyrics:
What have you achieved now you're old
Did you fulfill ambition, do as you were told
Or are you still doing the same this year
Should I give sorrow, or turn 'round and sneer
I know that the prospects weren't all that good
But they improved, and I'd have thought that you could
Have strived for that something we all have deep inside
Not let it vanish, along with your pride
Now with the aid of your new walking stick
You hobble along through society thick
And look mesmerized by the face of it all
You keep to the gutter in case you fall
I can't go on
I can't go on
I can't go on
I can't go on
I, I, I, I...
You all should seek this out to hear what I'm talking about. It's just such a sad, sad song.

I can't believe no one has mentioned Empyrium.
The string section in "Waldpoesie" is beau-ti-ful and depressing as hell (Most Empyrium songs are pretty depressing).
Opeth has many, so does Pain of Salvation.
Agalloch has some nice ones, namely "A Desolation Song"
Finntroll (yes, Finntroll) "Svart Djup"

Sentenced - No One There
The axe, the bottle and the rope
The feeling there really is no more hope
The thought of the great unknown
And facing it alone
The dark, the silent and the cold
The feeling I have come to the end of my road
Yes, these are the things I spend
My remaining moments with
And the wind blows through my heart
Shivers me one last time
As I now reach out in the dark
No one there
Why did it have to be so hard
For us to live our lives
Again I reach out in the dark in despair
The desperation and the snow
The feeling of finally coming back home
The melancholy and the hole in the soil so hard and cold
And the wind blows through my heart
Shivers me one last time
As I now reach out in the dark
No one there
Your love for me, my love for you
Things we somehow managed to lose
Now there´s only the ruthless wind
To blow right through
It freezes my heart, my desperate heart
It freezes my heart, my desperate heart
It freezes my heart, my desperate heart
To think we both will die alone
And the wind blows through my heart
Shivers me one last time
As I now reach out in the dark
No one there
Nightwish - Dead Boys Poem is also kinda depressing, so is just about everything from H.I.M.
