She placed her face between her trembling arms
And prayed to God
'Cause she had a life but now that's gone, oh
She lay there a-crying
But the beast won't stop, striking her down
Seems like forever she can't win this one
No, not this one

REFRAIN
It's too late now
It's too late for her now
She'll have to take it

CHORUS
Slow, can't drive the pain away
Slow, ain't no another day
Slow, she's dead before she wakes
So slow, oh oh
