Olivier Messiaen, Quatuor pour la fin du Temps (quartet for the end of time) was the first one I thought of. It was written in 1941 while the composer was interned in the German Stalag VIII-A POW camp. I'm fairly sure I've listened to it but I don't remember anything about what it was like. Its fame is partly from the circumstances of its composition and premiere.

And on a lighter(?) note, Tom Lehrer, So Long Mom.

Gustav Holst, Neptune (from The Planets). Really strikingly captures the sense of the outer edges of our solar system, even if it's not the whole world.

Not sure if it quite matches the vibe you got there, but "Goodbye to a World" by Porter Robinson feels very much like an end of the world song to me.
