I  adore Great Big Machine by Coyote Wall. As a bonus this is one of like 2 songs I can kind of play on the guitar. Wave Goodbye to the Age of Man from the same album is probably even more of an end of the world song.
The album on band camp -I couldn't find a youtube video though that might be because I am posting this on a school Chromebook.
Soft Apocalypse by Charming Disaster is one of my favorites of the genre 

oh and That Funny Feeling by Bo Burnham is devastating to me in a way I can't fully explain

We Had a Good Run by Kirby Krackle -idk if the music video is any good as mentioned school chrombook

Pompeii By Bastille is an end of the world song to me

There is also the subcategory of Fallout music my favorites are
Watch World War Three on Pay TV by Sherman and Larsen

and We Will All go Together When We Go by Tom Lehrer

ps. I don't know If Hyperlinks or YouTube videos are preferred for this kind of thing so please tell me.

I've really enjoyed Armageddon by Sola Guinto and Faffi!

Really enjoying the high energy 'may as well enjoy the ride to hell' vibe from it.

While I'm not a Christian, I'll be a bit unorthodox (pun intended) and pitch in a quasi-religious wildcard here for some good dose of lyrical dissonances...

Apocalypse Animated by Nina Paley, as an animated psychedelic MV, set to Milton Estes and His Musical Millers, "When the Fire Comes Down":

• On Vimeo
• On YouTube
• As animated GIFs on the official site

Of course, if you're into more... sobering kind of mini-apocalypse rooted in reality, see Nina Paley's another animated satirical MV set to Pat Boone/Ernest Gold feat. Andy Williams, "This Land is Mine":

• On Vimeo
• On YouTube

For more world-ending lyrical dissonances stuffs, few Vocaloid songs in Sasakure.UK's Doomsday Series came to mind...

• Sasakure.UK feat. Crypton CV02-F, "The (Week)End's Coming!" ^{(unofficial YouTube with English subtitle)}
• Sasakure.UK, feat. Crypton CV03, "Wanderlast" ^{(unofficial YouTube with English subtitle)}
  
  • There is also a fancier arrangement too (with a 3D MV associated to this version).
  • (Shame that an English-dubbed male version I liked the most is no longer on YouTube though, so I couldn't link to that here)

Oh my goodness! I just saw this thread and my FIRST THOUGHT was "I should suggest When The World Ends by Madilyn Mei". It's so funny that you literally had it right there! I love her music video for To Exist With You, that's also a very certain sort of apocalyptic. I'll try to think of songs to share on Tuesday!

I have recently discovered this one:

We Will All go Together When We Go by Tom Lehrer

Since it's now showing "video not available"; I'll note here for the matter of record, that Tom Lehrer had done a brave act of officially setting his music Free-- dedicating them into public domain not long before his death in 2025. So these tracks are also available as MP3, in multiple versions as well sheet music/lyrics at his official website...

Tom Lehrer, "We Will All Go Together When We Go":

• MP3: Orchestra version:
  
• MP3: Piano version, with a slightly different lyrics:
  

So no need for YouTube and all of its antifeatures for it; you can now get this cold-war gem right from the source.

P.S. I actually don't intend MP3 links to be turned in to inline `<audio>` tag (which my MP3-unsupporting browser can't play and can't right-click download). Anyone know how to bypass this "feature" of MelonLand forum?

what better than a song from porter robinson’s worlds? almost half the songs on here are about dealing with the apocalypse, so any track will do, but especially “goodbye to a world”

and this song just came out a week ago, but if you liked worlds, you’ll love k?d. he’s well-known for this worlds-esque music, and it’s a single for his upcoming album literally titled ”end of the universe”. if that’s not world-ending music, i don’t know what is

[Horsey Chobunso]

I'm not sure what I would personally listen to as I watched the world end, but there is one song that comes to mind when I think of "the sound of the world ending". The first time I heard this I was completely floored and impacted in ways that I didn't think were possible. CW: Gore, flashing lights, generally uncomfortable video
