Metallica "The God that Failed" Songtext

The God that Failed

Pride you tookPride you feelPride that you felt when you'd kneelNot the wordNot the loveNot what you thought from above

It feeds (it feeds)It grows (it grows)It clouds all that you will knowDeceitDeceiveDecide just what you believe

I see faith in your eyesNever you hear the discouraging liesI hear faith in your criesBroken is the promise, betrayalThe healing hand held back by the deepened nailFollow the god that failed

Find your peaceFind your sayFind the smooth road on your wayTrust you gaveA child to saveLeft you cold and him in grave

It feeds (it feeds)It grows (it grows)It clouds all that you will knowDeceitDeceiveDecide just what you believe

I see faith in your eyesNever you hear the discouraging liesI hear faith in your criesBroken is the promise, betrayalThe healing hand held back by the deepened nailFollow the god that failed

(solo)

I see faith in your eyesBroken is the promise, betrayalThe healing hand held back by the deepened nailFollow the god that failed

Pride you tookPride you feelPride that you felt when you'd kneelTrust you gaveA child to saveLeft you cold and him in grave

I see faith in your eyesNever your hear the discouraging liesI hear faith in your criesBroken is the promise, betrayalThe healing hand held back by the deepened nailFollow the god that failedFollow the god that failed

Broken is the promiseBetrayal ... betrayal ...
