And Eve Was Weak Lyrics - Singles - Premiere Cast

Margaret: (Spoken) Bow your head and pray, woman. 

And God made Eve from Adam's rib. And Eve was weak and loosed the raven on the world. 

Carrie: (Spoken) Momma, it wasn't my fault. 

Margaret: (spoken) And the raven was called sin. And God visited Eve with a curse. And the curse was the curse of blood. Say it, woman 

(sung) 

And God made Eve from Adam's rib 

And Eve was weak 

Carrie: 

Momma, how could I know? 

Margaret: 

And Eve was weak 

And Eve was weak 

Carrie: 

Why didn't you tell me? 

Margaret: 

And God made Eve to bear the curse. 

The curse of blood 

The curse of blood 

Carrie: 

It's not a curse. Mrs. Gardner said its something all girls go through! 

Margaret: 

The curse of blood! 

Carrie: 

You should have told me! 

Margaret: (spoken) You're a woman now! Pray to heaven for your wicked soul! 

(Sung) 

The raven came to plague the world 

Its name was sin 

Carrie: 

Its not a sin! 

Margaret: 

Its name was sin 

Carrie: 

Oh, Momma, its not a sin! 

Margaret: 

Its name was sin! Begin: 

And lust was how the sin began 

The sin was man! 

Carrie: 

I don't understand 

Margaret: 

Well, understand! 

Carrie: 

No! 

Margaret: 

The sin was man! 

Carrie: 

What have I done? 

Margaret: 

God has seen you sinning 

Just beginning 

Pray for your salvation 

From damnation 

Pray or 

He will burn you! 

He will burn you! 

The seed conveys the power 

And its come again 

Carrie: 

Momma, what is the seed? 

Margaret: 

Its come again! 

Carrie: 

Don't you care that I started to bleed? 

Margaret: 

Its come again 

Until the seed is crushed Its power never ends 

Its never ends 

It never ends! 

Carrie: 

Momma, I was so scared 

And they all stared 

Then I started crying 

I thought I was dying 

Momma! 

Please don't hurt me! 

Margaret: 

Have you no sense of shame? 

Pray for Mercy 

Get down on your knees! 

Carrie: 

Please don't hurt me! 

Margaret: 

Satan's staking his claim 

Cause your soul is a hole of disease 

I can see you inside! 

Carrie: 

Don't believe with your eyes! 

Margaret: 

Full of sin! 

Full of pride 

Carrie: 

Those are lies, Momma, lies! 

Margaret: 

That's how Lucifer fell! 

Carrie: 

Momma, how could I know? 

Margaret: 

And you're headed for hell! 

I won't let you go! 

Carrie: 

Momma, let me go! 

Margaret: 

Heaven 

hates a sinner 

Hates a sinner 

Carrie: 

I'm not a sinner 

Margaret: 

Save yourself from burning 

Carrie simultaneously w/ Margaret: 

Momma, stop! 

Its burning! 

Stop, its burning! 

Momma, please! 

No! 

Stop! 

Margaret: 

God, she's burning! 

Pray or 

He will burn you! 

He will burn you! 

And God made Eve from Adam's Rib 

And Eve was weak 

And I was weak 

I prayed this day would never come 

I should have known 

I should have known 

Now I'm alone 

And so afraid 

Oh, Lord, 

I've seen this power before 

But flesh is weak, and I implore! 

Father, don't forsake her! 

Father, take her! 

Cleanse and purify her 

With the fire! 

And the power! 

And the Glory! 

Forever! 

And ever! 

And ever! 

Amen!
