Saddest Metal Song

[GrayRain]

Thumbs up to the guys that posted Life Eternal by Mayhem and Moment In Black by Funeral. Moment In Black is especially depressing, and Life Eternal is pretty sad if you actually listen to the lyrics. In my opinion the saddest metal song ever is one of these two:




The first one actually has a sound byte of someone killing themselves in the middle, the second one is just pure blackness and utter hopelessness.

"Sadness in the Night" Tarja Turunen
"Mourning Tree" Leaves' Eyes

 

[Goffdahl]

My Dying Bride- For My Fallen Angel

This.

 

[WCannibal]

Too much gothic and power metal itt.

Here's a different kind of sad:

 

[solinari6]

Bump ... I was just reminded of this one ... the guitar intro always makes me well up, and for some reason, the pipe organ solo in the middle just kills me (i'm actually serious)

 

[divine_torture]

Katatonia-'Tonight's Music' and 'Saw You Drown'

Guns n Roses-'Estranged'

Novembers Doom-"Not The Strong"

Danzig-"Goin Down To Die"

Lacrimas Profundere-'Adorer and Someone'

A whole page and a half without "Watching from a Distance"? Fail.

That's because it didn't exist when this thread was made.

 

[SweptbackFlame]

Edit: than again, I guess.

I died for you - Iced Earth takes it for me.

i so just have to bump this thread

my adds



especially now he is gone,

 

[UltimateApathy]

I was lost, on my own
And I couldn't bear the thought of my life
I was gone, caught in the torturing memories
And they burned like fire
Water can never heal such pain

Can't you believe
Nothing is real
Can't you see
I cannot feel

Take me away
Bury me in the sand
Cause after all these years I am still the same
A sad and bitter man

Crush my hope, grow my hate
There's no home for me
Nothing to give, nothing to say
So tell me it's a dream

Can't you believe
Nothing is real
Can't you see
I cannot feel

Take me away
Bury me in the sand
Cause after all these years I am still the same
A sad and bitter man

Crush my hope, grow my hate
There's no home for me
Nothing to give, nothing to say
So tell me it's a dream

[MetalAges]

This one, especially lyrically given Mr. Gold is no longer with us

 

[Summerian]

Pantera
Hollow

...Talked for hours last month
About what we wanna be
I sit now with his hand in mine
But I know he can't feel...

No one knows
What's done is done
It's as if he were dead

I'm close with his mother
And she cries endlessly
Lord how we miss him
At least what's remembered
It's so important to make best friends in life
But it's hard when my friend sits with blank expressions...​

Speaking of Anathema, for me the absolute killers are Lost Control and Forgotten Hopes. Saddest Katatonia is DODS.
