Lyrics

Intro

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Sinners bleed, sinners run

Verse

Dust on the juke joint floor, moon hanging low

Remmick at the door, smile like a blade, eyes like snow

Stack and Smoke keep the door shut tight

But the night got teeth and the night don’t fight

Blood in the bottle, blood on the string

Bluesman sold his soul for the song he sings

Preacher’s girl got red on her dress

Everybody prayin’ but the devil don’t rest

Verse

Wooden stakes in the dirt, shotgun shells on the pew

Remmick’s laugh cuts the dark in two

He don’t need an invite, he just needs a crack

One wrong word and the whole room’s black

Mary’s eyes roll back, she starts to grin

Remmick’s voice crawls under her skin

“Open up, open up, let me in”

The choir starts singing but it’s already too late again

Verse

Stack’s got the axe, Smoke’s got the fire

Remmick’s got the hunger, he never gets tired

They’re runnin’ through the fields, they’re hidin’ in the reeds

But the dead keep walkin’ where the living bleed

Delta dirt turns crimson red

Remmick’s shadow grows where the sunlight fled

One bite, two bite, three souls gone

Sinners keep singin’ till the break of dawn

Chorus

Sinners (sinners), can’t outrun the night

Remmick (Remmick), teeth like the moonlight

Sinners (sinners), blood on the floor

Remmick (Remmick), knockin’ at your door

Sinners, sinners, scream it loud

Remmick’s comin’, gather ‘round

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Chorus

Sinners (sinners), can’t outrun the night

Remmick (Remmick), teeth like the moonlight

Sinners (sinners), blood on the floor

Remmick (Remmick), knockin’ at your door

Sinners, sinners, scream it loud

Remmick’s comin’, gather ‘round

Yeah, yeah, yeah
