By Metallica (from the Black album 1991). This is, I think, a song easily applicable to the State and its faithful supporters and apologists.
The God That Failed
Pride you took
Pride you feel
Pride that you felt when you’d kneelNot the word
Not the love
Not what you thought from aboveIt feeds
It grows
It clouds all that you will know
Deceit
Deceive
Decide just what you believeI 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 nailFollow the God that failed
Find your peace
Find your say
Find the smooth road in your wayTrust you gave
A child to save
Left you cold and him in graveIt feeds
It grows
It clouds all that you will know
Deceit
Deceive
Decide just what you believeI 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 nailFollow the God that failed
I see faith in your eyes
Broken is the promise, betrayal
The healing hand held back by the deepened nailFollow the God that failed
Pride you took
Pride you feel
Pride that you felt when you’d kneelTrust you gave
A child to save
Left you cold and him in graveI 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 nailFollow the God that failed
