A little girl lost, her world full of pain He said it feels good, she gave him her vein The dope made her numb and numb felt like free Until she came down, down, down to a new misery
A junkie, a whore living for the next high She'd lie cheat and steal, she forgot how to cry Wide awake for two weeks, shooting heroin then speed When she killed in cold, cold blood all she felt was her need
It's an eye for an eye, now you're gonna die A tooth for a tooth, it's your moment of truth There's no mercy here, your stay is denied Go on and pray, pray, pray, there's mercy in the sky
Alone in her cell, no dope in her veins The killer'd become, little girl lost again She fell to her knees, she prayed she would die On the cold cement floor, she finally cried
And love came like the wind, love whispered her name It reached through and held her, lifted her pain Fifteen years on death row, her faith deeper each day Her last words were, I love you all Good-bye, Karla Faye
Now it's an eye for an eye and you're gonna die A tooth for a tooth, it's your moment of truth There's no mercy here, your stay is denied You'd better pray, pray, pray You'll find mercy in the sky.
