Premiere Cast - And Eve Was Weak Lyrics
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!
