Never ones to shy away from the big topics, Metallica confront the omnipresence of religion on this shuddering rock behemoth from 1991. The song's title may be a giveaway but "The God That Failed" takes an unflincing look at its subject matter, constructing a narrative through the eyes and pen of James Hetfield. The Metallica frontman's parents were Christian Scientists, which sadly meant that his mother refused medical treatment when she was dying from cancer. He documents his heartbreak in this song. "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, yeah," he sings in the chorus of this gut-wrenching track from the band's 1991 landmark self-titled album, also known as The Black Album, from which they spawned career-defining hits "Enter Sandman", "The Unforgiven", "Nothing Else Matters" and others.
