just what 'goth' means is subject to varying interpretation and hasn't ever had a clear definition in terms of music, but often embodies a rather wide range of musical styles that have in common a brooding, existential lyrical quality and often a somber & fatalistic tone.
i don't mean to comment on all that, but to provide a thread where Christian musicians whose work loosely falls into this category can be gathered into one place for reference and enjoyment.
not every song we can rightly call 'Christian music' is necessarily a hymn of praise & worship -- but all of it has the perspective of a born-again believer, whether it comments on the world or the heavens.

i was on the verge of turning a discussion in the miscellaneous section of the forum into a music thread, so i thought it best to repost here & continue the train of videos of Christian-goth music :)

Saviour Machine - Love Never Dies

And the children shall lead the angels at play in the fields of slaves.
For man is the hunted, accused and forsaken and slain by his own domain.
The diamonds edge will cut the eyes of the paper mask in paradise.
The fools of fortune paint their portraits
On carnal crimes and lonely lies.
The tides of war that crash within,
To break the heart and leash the skin,
A man waits the child inside,
To end his bloody reign in time.
Love never dies--love never denies,
Love never lies--love desperately cries,
Unto the other side,
Unto the unborn child in your eyes.
Walk by faith and walk by sight,
You're sanctified with blood and light,
In days of roses, nights sublime,
The prince of passion lives divine.
Love never dies--love never denies,
Love never lies--love desperately cries,
Unto the other side,
Unto the unborn child in your eyes.
I will rise in your eyes.

Leper: La Ca Vrei (Take What You Want)

I've been wrong more than I've been right
Fooling myself painted with pride
Angels of death darkness and light
Kissing my forehead
Beautifully tasted their dreams- sown shut my eyes
What do you want from me?
Mongrels and goats
They were the golden hooks in my nose
Fall on my knees
Lift up my face
No longer deny
Wonderful grace
You make me cry- with one drop of blood
What do you want from me?
You took my hate replaced it with love
You took the coal that healed my tongue
You took my death replaced it with life
You drove out the horrors that possessed my mind
You showed me peace when I had none
Shown me forgiveness forgot what I'd done
You gave me the sky
You gave me the sea
Take what You want from me

Virgin Black - Domine

Dies illa, dies irae
Dies illa, dies irae
The hour is at...
Loss and grief in chorus
chime forth their canticles
Loss and grief
Dies illa, dies irae
The hour is at hand
Sorrow ever awaits on joy, Domine
Sorrow ever awaits on joy
Judgement is at hand
All flesh is barren
Al souls subject
Quantus tremor est futurus
Quantus tremor
Judgement is at hand
Requiem
Domine

Metus - Brothers

You look coldly at your brother
You see - how poverty takes his sigh away
Though you have all that you need to live
You don't want to see a brother's pain

Oh! Is it so hard ?
To realize
all that we do for others
shows who we really are
are we brothers ?

Oh! Cold your eyes are
(cold your heart)
shadow lurks in
(the selfish mind)
brother suffers
(just beside)
don't you see that ?
don't turn a blind eye

You look coldly at your brother
You see - how poverty takes his breath
Though you have all that you need to live
You don't want to see a brother's pain

Please
There's another hand
Lonely branch to the sky
crying for help
Watch
There's another soul
do you see your brother ?
He dies alone

your brother
your brother
your brother

some 'contemporary worship music' i think kind of falls in this category too.

The Glorious Unseen, for example:

[video=youtube_share;hEKMMjSvcV4]http://youtu.be/hEKMMjSvcV4[/video]

The Glorious Unseen - Hear Our Prayers

Hear our cries Lord,
Hear our prayers.
Take our burdens,
Calm our fears.

God will you make us
A people that love You.
Please take our offerings
That we set before You.
God hear our prayers
That we're lifting up to You.
God see our tears
That we're struggling to see through.
God, hear our prayers to You.

In our weakness,
You remain.
When we're broken,
You sustain.

God will you make us
A people that love You.
Please take our offerings
That we set before You.
God hear our prayers
That we're lifting up to You.
God see our tears
That we're struggling to see through.

God hear our prayers.
We lift them to You.
God hear our prayers,
Lord make our hearts true.
Will You make our hearts true?

Hear our prayers Lord.

God will you make us
A people that love You.
Please take our offerings
That we set before You.
God hear our prayers
That we're lifting up to You.
God see our tears
That we're struggling to see through.
God hear our prayers
As we lift them to heaven.
We're praying the angels
Receive and embrace them.
The hopes of the empty,
The cries of the broken.
We're reaching our hands out,
Oh Lord will You hold them?
