The God That Failed
(from the album Metallica [Black Album])
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
