And Eve Was Weak Lyrics

CARRIE: 

"Mama, what is it? Why are you looking at me like that? Mama, you're frightening me!"


MARGARET: 

"Bow your head and pray!"

"And God made Eve from the rib of Adam, and Eve was weak, and loosed the Raven on the world!"


CARRIE: 

"Mama..."


MARGARET:

"The Raven was called sin, and the first sin was the sin of lust. so God visited Eve with a curse, and the curse was the curse of blood."

And God made Eve from Adam's rib and Eve was weak.


CARRIE:

"Mama..."


MARGARET: 

And Eve was weak.


CARRIE:

"How could I know?"


MARGARET: 

And Eve was weak.


CARRIE:

"How could I know?"


MARGARET: 

And Eve was weak.


CARRIE:

"Why didn't you tell me?"


MARGARET:

And God made Eve to bear the curse, the curse of blood!


CARRIE:

"It's not a curse, mama!"


MARGARET:

The curse of blood!


CARRIE:

"It's something all girls go through!"


MARGARET:

The curse of blood!


CARRIE:

"You should have told me!"


MARGARET:

"Go to the cellar and pray, woman! Pray to heaven for your wicked soul!"


CARRIE:

"Mama, I'm changing!"


MARGARET:

The Raven came to plague the world, his name was sin!


CARRIE:

It's not a sin!


MARGARET:

His name was sin!


CARRIE:

Oh Mama...


MARGARET:

His name was sin! Begin!


CARRIE:

...it's not a sin!


MARGARET:

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 your 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 it's come again!


CARRIE:

"Mama, what is this seed?"


MARGARET:

It's come again!


CARRIE:

Don't you care...


MARGARET:

It's come again!


CARRIE:

...that I started to bleed!


MARGARET:

Until the seed is crushed the power never ends,
It never ends.
It never ends.


CARRIE:

Mama, I was so scared! 
And they all stared!
I thought I was dying, 
I started crying!
Mama! Please don't hurt me!


MARGARET:

You've become Satan's bride! Beg for mercy, get down on your knees!


CARRIE:

Please don't hurt me!


MARGARET:

You've got Jezebel's pride! And your soul is a hole of disease!


CARRIE:

Please don't hurt me!


MARGARET:

I can see you inside!


CARRIE:

Don't believe with your eyes!


MARGARET:

I can see how you lied!


CARRIE:

But I never told lies!


MARGARET:

That's how Lucifer fell!


CARRIE:

Mama, how could I know?


MARGARET:

And you're headed to Hell, I won't let you go!


CARRIE:

Mama, let me go!


MARGARET:

Satan loves a sinner! Loves a sinner!


CARRIE: 

I'm not a sinner!


MARGARET:

Save your soul from burning!


CARRIE:

Mama stop!


MARGARET:

God, she's burning!


CARRIE:

Stop! It's burning!


MARGARET:

Pray or...


CARRIE:

Mama, no!


MARGARET:

He will burn you!


CARRIE:

Stop!


MARGARET:

He will burn you!


CARRIE:

No, no!


MARGARET:

And God made Eve from Adam's rib and Eve was weak,
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!
The 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!
