10 The God That Failed - Metallica

It's about James Hetfield's dying mother (he was 13, she was young). She died of cancer with no medical help because she was a Christian Scientist and didn't believe in medicine. She believed in God's healing hand but she died so Hetfield wrote that God failed (to heal her).
"The healing hand held back by deepened nail
Follow the god that failed
Broken is the promise. Betrayal, Yeah"
