I believe that this song is about Hetfield's parents' strong faith in God and how that it imposed on their health as they died. Their faith ment they did not allow medicine and, subsequently, died. Hence, The God that Failed.

This song is written about James Hetfield's mother. She died of cancer. Because of her extreme religeous beliefs she refused any treatment and cited that God would save her. After her death Hetfield wrote this song from his mother's eyes about "The God That Failed."

You guys are right, it's also about him giving up on God because of his mother.

All of you guys are correct. It was about his mother passing from cancer, and refusing to use medicine based on her religious beliefs, which was Christian Science according to an article I read.
