Most depressing song you know?

I don't call it "depressing" but let's say, ok, the most melancholic song I've listened to is "Lover's Grief" from Empyrium. Both the lyrics and the music are penetrating, the song is like a magical description of, well, "sorrow". Also there are many other Empyrium songs which are very "depressing", like Mourners or Ode To Melancholy or The Ensemble of Silence, or the acoustic songs like "Where at night the wood grouse plays" What I like about Empyrium is that it's not just "oh I am so sorrowful, I am crying..." but they use the language very good and their musical quality is very high, in my opinion.

Also some other depressing songs I like, from Lacrimas Profundere:
"Black Swans", "Without", "Helplessness", "Diotima", "Solicitude, Silence" and just the intro parts of "Enchanted and in silent beauty" and "Perfume of withered roses". These two songs have very beautiful intro parts but I don't like the whole songs very much.
 
One of the more depressing songs to me is OL's own 'The Beloved's Cry.'
That's about all I can think of, really. My tastes in music are generally pretty bouncy, if not wholly upbeat.
 
I agree with Unconscious, Empyrium's music is beautifully melancholic, and I do find much of it depressing, especially on Weiland. I also find a lot of Porcupine Tree songs to be quite depressing especially lyrically, like Stop Swimming, Prodigal, Feel So Low, etc. And of course lots of Anathema and Katatonia...

Of course "The Beloved's Cry" deserves a place in the "sad song hall of fame", but the overall feeling in the end is kinda warm (thanx to the female vocals) so i cant mention it.
 
Orphaned Land - The Beloved's Cry is most depressing song that i heard..And the others must be Anathema - Shroud Of False,Opeth - Death Whispered On a Lullaby and from turkey Feridun Duzagac - Lavinia..

Here is the lyrics of Anathema - Shroud of False(it's kind of a intro song you know)we're just a moment in time
a blink of an eye
a dream for the blind
visions from a dying brain
i hope you dont understand..
