From one of my favorite bands Shadows Fall:

As reality washes away the faded memories of daylight
This is my escape
Realization of my mind's own deceit
Perception Slips away
Lulled into a fools paradise
Words mislead again
the agony of imaginary sins and fears
truth of suffering
Buried dreams that shadow me, I feel it's all been wasted (Dreams that shatter me)
Break my dreams to free my soul because I won't even notice (Dreams to free my soul)
Disintegration of the ego with this mind creates
False idea of self
The cessation of continuity and becoming
True enlightenment
Buried dreams that shadow me, I feel it's all been wasted (Dreams that shatter me)
Break my dreams to free my soul because I won't even notice (Dreams to free my soul)
Someone free me from heaven torn asunder
full of empty promises to be there if I wonder (Alone and wandering)
Will not remain enslaved
This world's transparency
I see right through
I walk alone
As reality washes away the faded memories of daylight
This is my escape
Realization of my mind's own deceit
Perception Slips away
Buried dreams that shadow me, I feel it's all been wasted (Dreams that shatter me)
Break my dreams to free my soul because I won't even notice (Dreams to free my soul)
Someone free me from heaven torn asunder
full of empty promises to be there if I wonder (Alone and wandering)
Extinction of thirst
Extinction of desire
Extinction of hatred
Extinction of illusion
This is absolute.

Getting right away from western popular styles ...
There is one kind of music which was always specifically Buddhist, the 'honkyoku' music for shakuhachi, which originated as meditation music.
A couple of snippets from my favourite Australian master of the instrument, Riley Lee:

Riley has done lots more kinds of music, too - visit his site http://www.rileylee.net/cd_catalogue_a2m.html for more. Some of his stuff is on iTunes, and you will probably find lots by other players, too, there or on YouTube.
