This may seem like an oxymoron, but there is such a thing as spiritual Goth. I own a great deal of this genre of music (however small it might be) because it's spiritual and inspirational without being "churchy" or "superficial", like so many Christian artists seem bent on today.
For all those suffering on this board, whether it's cancer, nasty break-ups, work, lost muses, etc, here's a song that sends shivers down my spine - the music and lyrics work beautifully together. Scroll down to the 7th song on the music player here and you can listen while reading the lyrics:

Find it in you, raise your eyes
Look beyond the place you stand
Towards the furthest reaches
And to the smallest of things
The sound you are hearing
Is the symphony of what we are
Revelation will not come
With heart and mind closed and divided
No need of sun to light the way
Across the ages, we have reigned as we endured
Through the storm fronts we will ever surely pass
To stand as never ending light
Throw away the mantle
Awake from your uncertain hesitation
No way to describe or equate the feeling
No end to what is at your command
A million thoughts run through you
Concentric circles, ever greater
But you have always known
That this is not all there is
To your questions there'll be answers
Let there be, let there always be
Never ending light
