Metallica's "Death Magnetic"- 11th song??

I read somewhere that there were originally eleven songs recorded for the album, but only ten made it due to the physical restraints of the medium. I couldn't find any mention of it here, but does anyone know the name of that song, and is it available for download anywhere?

there were several that were rumored to be in the album but actually were just singles. "Commando" and "Cretin Hop" were singles that people claimed were in Death Magnetic just to get attention and get peoples hopes up so I wouldn't be surprised if that's the case with this song too.

Well, the total length of the album exceeded the capacity of a CD, so they had to omit one song. The same was the case with Load, where "The Outlaw Torn" was truncated so the album could fit on the disc. It clocks in at 78:59, just barely fitting on the CD. It wouldn't surprise me that there were singles that weren't included on the album, as those later are released as "b-sides."
