The God That Failed Lyrics » Metallica
[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
It feeds (It feeds)
It grows (It grows)
It clouds all you will know
Deceit, deceive
Decide just what you believe
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
Find your peace, find your say
Find the smooth road on your way
Trust you gave, a child to save
Left you cold and him in grave

About Metallica’s The God That Failed from Metallica (1991)
This entire song is about James Hetfield’s mother and her refusal of cancer treatment because of her

beliefs. The beliefs are that you should not be healed by doctors, nor take modern medication. So, when Hetfield’s mother developed cancer, the only help she was given was in the form of prayer. She ultimately died. His father had already left the family a few years prior to Hetfield’s’ mother’s death, leaving him now without either parent (though father came back years later, once James was already rich and famous).
When I was writing that song, I was in the throes of hatred around it, an upheaval of some unpleasant childhood stuff. I know what my higher power is all about, and I now know what my parents’ idea of a higher power was all about. So I’m able to leave their stuff with them and take my stuff where I need to claim it. I’m able to move on with that. And the song is pretty damn heavy.
