One of my favorites! Many of Tom Lehrer's songs were a tad morbid.

However, although not exactly morbid, many of Steven Foster's songs are very sad:
I Dream of Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair
Beautiful Dreamer
Come Where My Love Lies Dreaming
Gentle Annie
Old Black Joe
Old Dog Tray

are ones that I sang with my kinfolk as a child; it was years later that I recognized what the real meanings of the songs were--mourning over the deaths of loved ones. I cannot sing them now without weeping a little. (Flame away)

Tell Laura I love her, damn my first wife name and don't tell her that because I don't.

T.S.O.L. "Code Blue".

Truly a morbid song from a punk band from southern CA in the mid to late 1980s.

I've always thought this was creepy.





Donald Trump is not a politician, he is a leader, politicians are a dime a dozen, leaders are priceless.

KISS "Unholy" from the Revenge album, 1992.

An ominous song about Satan convincing mankind that he's a figment of their imaginations. Dark, brooding, macabre, with a epic breakdown just before the solo. This one caused controversy on MTV and with parents. That's why I listened to it so much back then.

I was there through the ages
Chained slaves to their cages
I have seen you eat your own
I'm the cycle of pain
Of a thousand year old reign
I'm suicide and salvation
The omen to nations
That you worship on all fours
I'm the infection and famine
That's knocking at your door
That's why you're feeling so
(Unholy)
Oh, I was created by man, you know I'm
(Unholy)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I am the incubus
I lay the egg in you
The worm that burrows through your brain
But you are the beast
That calls me by my name
You send your children to war
To serve bastards and whores
So now you know
You created me
On the day that you were born
I was created by man, yeah I'm the
Lord of the flies, you know I'm
(Unholy)
From the left hand of power comes the father of lies, yeah
(Unholy) Unholy
I lay you down to sleep
Your soul to keep
Better cross your heart before you die
And now you know
Know that you are mine
That's why you're feeling so
Unholy
