D-DU-UDU
A little girl lost. Her world full of pain
He said it feels good. So 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 him in cold, cold blood, all she felt was her need
Now, it's an eye for an eye and you're gonna die
It's a tooth for a tooth, your moment of truth.
There's no mercy here. Your stay is denied
You better pray, pray, pray you find 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. And Love whispered her name
And love reached through and held her. Love 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
Its a tooth for a tooth, your moment of truth
There's no mercy here. Your stay is denied
You better pray,pray,pray you find mercy in the sky
