I have found these two songs for me to sing:
"Who will I kill" By Mystery Science Theater 3000
"Blood" By My Chemical Romance
I was wondering a few things. "Who will I kill" sounds like it was based on another song, perhaps this original would fit better for a Medieval fantasy setting. "Blood" is close enough.
second, I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for more songs to my repertoire.
Will be trying to actually sing these two songs during game tomorrow, maybe just one if people get too annoyed. Will let all of you know how this goes.

Deathlike Silence has some macabre/creepy stuff that might work. Who's Gonna Bury Me, They'll Eat Us, and Dagon being the best that come to mind.
Duende by Delerium
Lyrics:
In a beam of sun
Scraping as I crawl
(Your heart can't hear me)
Tearing bruising fall
(Your hands can't hear me)
Thirsting, raging, blind
(Your eyes can't hear me)
Racing against time
(Your arms can't hear me)
Like an angel, you'll come
In a dream, precious one
And, make me beautifully numb
Desperate panicked calls
(The wind can't hear me)
Muffled weak and small
(The sand can't hear me)
Pleading groping hands
(The truth can't hear me)
Bleeding in the sand
(Your heart can't hear me)
Bleak desolation
In a beam of sun
Like an angel, you'll come
In a dream, blessed one
And, make me joyfully numb
Razor fingers cling
(The wind can't hear me)
Piercing demons sing
(The sand can't hear me)
Twisting hollow Hell
(The truth can't hear me)
Burning blisters swell
(Your heart can't hear me)
Sharp cut aching breath
(Your arms can't hear me)
Choking scent of death
(You hands can't hear me)
Grueling jaw bone grind
(Your eyes can't hear me)
Cursed by my own mind
(Your heart can't hear me)
For a shorter and simpler option, there's always The Killing Time from Trigun anime.
I'd add "Murder" by Within Temptation to that list.

Interesting suggestions, and they all work for macabre songs, but I am sorry, I wasn't too clear on what I was looking for. Perhaps something of a more "Whimsical Macabre" like the two songs I presented, as I do love what I do.
Maybe I can try for the way it is presented.
Ah...
"I Hold Your Hand In Mine" by Tom Lehrer" ;)
Ah. Well, The Killing Time in context is actually comedic b/c the main character is a pacifist but has an undeserved reputation of causing death and mayhem whereever he goes, and that was him FINALLY trying to use his rep. to intimidate bad guys into giving up without a fight. It...didn't work.
Anyway, how about...
Brains! by Voltaire, a cheerful, catchy tune about eating brains.
Come, Little Children has a whimsical touch to its darkness.

The Police's Murder By Numbers is whimsical and dark.
Concrete Blonde's Song for Kim is just dark.
Murder by numbers isn't bad, probably quote frequently! }:D

I actually know of that song rather well, a LONG time ago I made my on completion to it, adding a 2nd verse. Lost it a long time ago. In context yeah, but unfortunately no one would catch the context. Good thought, we are thinking the same there.
P.S. HOW could I have forgotten dear Voltaire! I love that guy!
When Your Evil is another good one of his.

Slaughter your world

Dark Side
Funny.
Mummy's Play
Creepy, but the whimsical nature is a tad hard to catch in singing it. Will think it over.

Really liking this guy!
Thank you!
Scaretale by nightwish
Macabre? Almost any song from Sweeny Todd. I'm particularly fond of Have A Little Priest, which discusses the merits of eating people of various professions.
Is that squire, on the fire?
Mercy no, sir, Look closer.
You'll notice it's grocer!
It looks thicker, more like vicar
