I think "The Great Below" by Nine Inch Nails is probably the most poetic song ever written. Where else could you find a verse like such:
"All the world has closed her eyes,
Tired faith all worn and thin,
For all we could have done,
And all that could have been."
It's really eerie and atmospheric, and contains all sorts of romanticized, symbolic references to death and acceptance.
Amazing song, really. Probably the best off of "The Fragile" which is a mind-blowing album. I love NIN so much.
