Probably an atmospheric black metal song. It's like the most depressing sounding genre lol, though it is by design.

In a different metal genre, an artist called Ihsahn has some dark, often beautifully sad lyrics, one of my favorites is the chorus from Twin Black Angels.

What would it be, how would it feel
If the ideals of self were real?
Is it a cure, or is it disease?
Would I know emptiness from peace?
Tracing the fears back to the start
Raptures to tear the world apart
Written in scars that never heal
This is the deal
This is the deal

Sleep Token is also a master of evoking emotions.

My example for them is a little different because while they do write some beautifully sad lyrics (the creator of the project based it around a messy divorce he was going through), my actual selection is based off a comment I read on YT for the song Levitate.

The chorus goes:

Will you levitate
Up where the angels inhabit?
Will you levitate
Where I won't reach you?

And the reason that is so sad to me is because there was a comment from a father who played the song as his young son's funeral and says he can't listen to the song anymore without crying. As anti-religious as I am (the lyrics clearly describe such), I still have a heart and after reading that comment I honestly can't even think about the song without thinking about that comment.

I've been searching for the YT video that had the comment, I can't seem to find it and I know I didn't make it up, so not sure what to say. Don't know if he deleted it or if YT removed it cause it dealt with death of a child or something. However the song has a sad enough feel in its own right.
