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

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

Margaret: The curse of blood

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!

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

It 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!

Margaret/Carrie: I won't let you go!/Momma, let me go!

Margaret: Heaven hates a sinner

Margaret/Carrie: Hates a sinner/I'm not a sinner

Save yourself from burning/Momma, stop! Its burning!

God, she's burning!/Stop, its burning!

Pray or/Momma, please!

He will burn you!/No! Stop!

Margaret: He will burn you!

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

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!
