Lyrics
Listen to the rattle that comes with the night
When you see the shadows fading you better pray for the light
Listen to the crackle as the flames burn too long
Everything you covet has a heavy price
So says the legend of Everett Sykes
In the flatlands of Texas where the dust swirls like devils
There's a town with a curse where the river runs dry
They call it Hallowsin on a faded county map
And that's where it all began
They say he was a soldier turned preacher in a storm
The wind and rain beat down while anger took its hold
The back of the house where the fields grew corn
They say he killed his sister whose son was stillborn
Listen to the rattle that comes with the night
When you see the shadows fading you better pray for the light
Listen to the crackle when the flames burn too long
Everything you covet has a heavy price
So says the legend of Everett Sykes
To cleanse himself of sin he turned to brimstone and fire
A confederate of angels overcome with desire
And people that knew him said that when he spoke of hell
You could almost see the sickening light inside his hollow shell
Listen to the rattle that comes with the night
When you see the shadows fading you better pray for the light
Listen to the crackle when the flames burn too long
Everything you covet has a heavy price
So says the legend of Everett Sykes
Evil his wife he burned in the living flesh
The witches told him he ruled with their rights left in
So every night he prayed at a blackened mountain soul
Where Lucifer was cast on his one-way trip below
Paying a penance for the things that he'd done
His time to hold and catch the severed head of his own son
Listen to the rattle that comes with the night
When you see the shadows fading you better pray for the light
Listen to the crackle as the flames burn too long
Everything you covet has a heavy price
So says the legend of Everett Sykes
Everett Sykes
