It's an instrumental, but the dour Fyt by This Mortal Coil always brings the breath of an apocalypse with it. It always reminds me of the clanking industrial landscapes, like the horrible coal-stained beach at the end of Get Carter.

I struggled to think of any actual songs with words in them, because I think as soon as you add a human you start to lose the desolation factor.
