The God That Failed

(Hetfield,Ulrich)


Pride you took
Pride you feel
Pride that you felt when you'd kneel

Not the word
Not the love
Not what you thought from above

     It feeds
     It grows
     It clouds all that you will know
     Deceit
     Deceive
     Decide just what you believe

          I see faith in your eyes
          Never your hear the discouraging lies
          I hear faith in your cries
          Broken is the promise, betrayal
          The healing hand held back by the deepened nail

          Follow the god that failed

Find your peace
Find your say
Find the smooth road in your way

Trust you gave
A child to save
Left you cold and him in grave

     It feeds
     It grows
     It clouds all that you will know
     Deceit
     Deceive
     Decide just what you believe

          I see faith in your eyes
          Never you hear the discouraging lies
          I hear faith in your cries
          Broken is the promise, betrayal
          The healing hand held back by the deepened nail

          Follow the god that failed

          I see faith in your eyes
          Broken is the promise, betrayal
          The healing hand held back by the deepened nail

          Follow the god that failed

Pride you took
Pride you feel
Pride that you felt when you'd kneel

Trust you gave
A child to save
Left you cold and him in grave

          I see faith in your eyes
          Never you hear the discouraging lies
          I hear faith in your cries
          Broken is the promise, betrayal
          The healing hand held back by deepened nail

          Follow the god that failed
