Mary Gauthier – Karla Faye

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.

CHORUS

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.

15 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

Go on and pray,pray,pray
