Carlile, Brandi - Raise Hell Lyrics






I've been down with a broken heart
Since the day I learned to speak.
The devil gave me a crooked start
When he gave me crooked feet.
But Gabriel done came to me
And kissed me in my sleep,
And I'll be singing like an angel
Until I'm six feet deep.

I found myself an omen and I tattoed on a sign
I set my mind to wandering and I walk a broken line.
You have a mind to keep me quiet
And although you can try,
Better men have hit their knees
And bigger men have died.

[Chorus:]
I'm gonna raise, raise hell
There's a story no one tells
You gotta raise, raise hell
Go on and ring that bell

You came upon a lightning strike
And eyes of bright clear blue
I took a tie from around my neck
And gave my heart to you.
I sent my love accross the sea
And though I didn't cry
That voice will haunt my every dream
Until the day I die.

[Chorus:]
I'm gonna raise, raise hell
There's a story no one tells
You gotta raise, raise hell
Go on and ring that bell

I dug a hole inside my heart
To put you in your grave.
At this point it was you and me,
And mama didn't raise no slave.
You took my face in both your hands
And looked me in the eye
And I went down with such a force
That in your grave I lie.

[Chorus:]
I'm gonna raise, raise hell
There's a story no one's telling
You gotta raise, raise hell
Go on and ring that bell
Go on and ring that bell
Go on and ring that bell
Go on and ring that bell

    @Seereene1 Love this! Though The Story still my favorite album (especially songs like Josephine and Cannonball)-.

  25. E.... L....

    She must be a BIG fan of Bonnie Raitte because you sounds/stylized like her

    +Andrew Wilde Because they agree, maybe?

    A.... W....

    hipster.

    A.... W....

    Lepidolite Mica yeah the +1 is probably getting too mainstream for him

  27. S.... ....

    This song could completely describe the whole plot of Supernatural

    S.... ....

    It's kinda like Dean's song, the mark of Kane "I wanna raise hell"

    S.... ....

    Jo or Ellen singing. :)
    Probably Ellen, given the alto.

    S.... ....

    First main verse: Sam
    Second main verse: Castiel
    Last main verse: Dean

    S.... ....

    That's so funny you said that, because the first time I heard this song, I immediately thought of Ellen

    S.... ....

    It's about time mainstream America discovers Brandi. I've been listening to her for years and wondered why more people didn't know about her.

  48. T.... A....

    Another Craig victim. Normally I ignore the music segment, or this genre as a whole... but I don't think anybody can ignore her voice, as if it just went through the fires of hell. What power.

  49. E.... S....

    saw them on craig ferguson also, great roots music

  50. S.... C....

    Great voice & song! Saw her to on the Ferguson show!

  51. h.... ....

    Me too! I saw here on Ferguson and was really taken by Brandi AND her band. Definitely one of my new favorites. Haven't bought a disc in quite a while but I'm about to pick up this one.

  52. L.... W....

    looks like she really got a boost from performing on the late late show lol.. same here saw her on Craig and had to check it out..

  53. e.... ....

    I join those who saw this on Craig Ferguson and yeah I love this song, Tarantino better use this in one of his films, that would be amazing.

  54. v.... ....

    Just saw her on Craig Ferguson, too. Had to check her out. Normally not my kinda music, but it was mesmerizing.

  55. T.... O....

    yea I saw saw them on Graig as well there cool great sound

  56. T.... R....

    I just saw them on Craig...I think I found a new favorite artist.

  57. W.... ....

    I hope everyone buys the cd, and doesn't just take it from the internet. Small label artists need our support, not just our "likes" :D

    I just ordered mine!

  58. L.... ....

  59. B.... W....

    I have been waiting for her to record this song since I seen her sing it in August 2011! Effing amazeballs!
