Gilbert, Brantley - Fire & Brimstone Lyrics






Feelin' last night this mornin'
A trainwreck pain in my head
But when I reach for the hair of the dog in the drawer
Found a dusty old Bible instead
Thought I ain't been to service since my granddaddy passed
Finish my cigarette out there on the front steps
And then slipped in the back by myself

You bring on the fire and brimstone
Tell me I'm goin' to hell
Yeah, which one of you will throw the first stone
I guess I'll see you there
You bring on the fire

Yeah, then I heard the reverend
He said "Turn and shake your neighbor's hand"
One by one saw them all turn around just to stare back at me
Like the wretch that I am

You bring on the fire and brimstone
Tell me I'm goin' to hell
And which one of you will throw the first stone
I guess I'll see you there
You bring on the fire
You bring on the fire
Bring it on

Out of spite I went down to the altar
And almost all of them followed me there
It turns out there's only one book and one cover
They were all just glad I was there

And we prayed for grace and forgiveness
About faith, hope and love
And when I make my way to Heaven
Oh, I pray he'll say "well done"

You bring on the fire and brimstone
Tell me I'm goin' to hell
I know he died and rolled away the stone
I guess I'll see him there
You bring on the fire
Bring it on
Bring it on
Bring it on
Yeah, bring it on

There's a chance that when I get to Heaven
Oh, He may not know me at all
If that's the case, man
Then I'll take my judgement
Oh, but it won't be from y'all, naw
You bring on the fire
You bring on the fire
Bring it on, bring it on, bring on the fire

  15. S.... ....

    All who’ve been here already, know you’ve lived...
    Life’s full of highs and lows, it’s been a bumpy ride at times, but it’s all good. Don’t let nothing or no one throw you off, hang on when life’s rough, knowing there’s a valley to rest. Same as church, times sat front and center, others waited to dodge the crowd, blessed and content sliding my rear across that pew in the last row.
    Favorite song on the album. This one is special, a classic hit. Strong vocals and harmonies , together with Jamey Johnson, and Alison Krauss. The vibe, feeling this sure hits home. Hope and faith folks, we’re all human who sin. Keep looking up!!

    Dios te bendiga es la canción más reveladora. Desde barraquilla Colombia un Venezolano. Que llegó a esta canción por medio de los angeles de la música de Jesús. No necesite traducirla a la primera para entender lo que decía. El alma y espíritu traducen cualquier idioma . Dios te bendiga. @enelblog instagram. Winston A Bello Cells

  23. F.... B....

    Wow... everyone should listen to this song at least once...

  24. A.... S....

    I seriously cannot stop listening to this song. It's an instant classic in my book. The heart and soul that was poured into this song is so powerful to the ears. Gives me goosebumps listening to it.

  25. J.... T....

    This is badass hands down Brantley Gilbert is the best in all of music keep going BG the Tingles in Florence Alabama love ya see you in Tuscaloosa April 17th if it be the Lord's will

  26. J.... M....

    First off, Brantley, you are awesome with all of your songs. Songs are made to move the soul. This one along with a few others have nearly driven my soul to tears just because that's the way I felt about my life. I love the Christian elements added to them. It's a Hell of an Amen. Thank you Brantley. You're show in Charlotte was unbelievable.

  27. D.... B....

    Someone help me out... what does the lyric “the hair of a dog in the drawer” mean?? I love the song, rock on BG!!!

    D.... B....

    Hair if the dog that bit you. Aka whiskey, he is waking up from drinking the night before

    D.... B....

    Hair of the dog is a quick fix for hangovers-generally more alcohol but also commonly in the form of a bloody mary or oj in vodka. It's a metaphor for using the curse for the cure

  28. P.... E....

    Love this song Brantley no matter your faith we are the all the same in Christ thanks for putting god in your music keep up the good work

  29. M.... F....

    Fantastic Brantley

  30. K.... E....

    I'm in Love with this song! Jamey Johnson, Alison Krauss, And Brantley Gilbert?! What a great mix Also, it's nice to see a true blue heartfelt country song nowadays.

  31. D.... B....

    Much Love Brother, I'm glad you aren't ashamed of our Father, people with your status are mostly cowardice and afraid to say what they believe.
    What a killer collab, I love it !!!!!!!!
    Again much love and respect man
    God Bless

  32. M.... ....

    Wow! The whole album should be like this... collab with Alison Krauss... wow!

  33. B.... L....

    Absolutely Wonderful

  34. T.... M....

    What does the verse, the hair of the dog in my drawer, suppose to mean?

    T.... M....

    Hair of the dog usually refers to alcohol

  35. M.... C....

    It amazing song beautiful 🤘💖

  36. C.... B....

    I'm a big Brantley Gilbert Fan!. I love BG'S Songs!. Amen!.

    C.... B....

  39. T.... U....

  40. P.... F....

    Brantley beautiful song ❤️ Touching and inspiring 💖

  41. B.... R....

    I love this man he is awesome

  42. T.... C....

    This Song is absolutely amazing I love it Brantley

  43. N.... H....

    In a way this song preached the gospel. Good to know many un-believing sinners know HELL exists. Jesus can save you from there but it ain't a free pass it's baring a cross daily& death to self!

  44. J.... S....

    BG again!!! Beautiful song you ain't nothin but hits man keep bringin the fire!!!

  45. K.... P....

    It's not about going to church, it never has been it is about becoming the church through service as the hands and feet of loving stewardship and charity to all as Jesus requested.

  46. M.... ....

    You never disappoint. That's why I love you

  47. C.... R....

    Sounds like Brantley finally caught on to Jamey Johnson

  48. m.... k....

    Who else cant wait for the video to this song?

  49. J.... Y....

    This song hit me right in the chest. I've been that guy. And to hear a song describe it.... absolutely an amazing song. Speak that truth.

  50. K.... S....

    I want to start off by saying that I absolutely love Brantley Gilbert and after hearing that he was doing a song with Alison Krauss, I was very much looking forward to the release. Well, I've heard it, and I'm actually quite disappointed. She was used as a back up vocalist instead of having an actual solo part in this song. Alison Krauss is an extremely talented singer and I was really looking forward to hearing the mesh of Brantley's ruggedness with the sound of her sweet angelic voice. I think that they could have made something pretty amazing together.. but this was definitely not it.

  51. S.... I....

    Acts 17:30
    "The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he *commands* all people everywhere to *repent*

    John 14:6
    "Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

    Jesus Christ is the only way. Repent and trust in his finish work on the cross ✝.

    Soli Deo Gloria

  52. E.... B....

    The part he may not know me at all is that him talking about a person from church he is meeting in Heaven that part confuses me lol and they had judged him on earth

    E.... B....

    He is talking about Jesus. This is a very important song about the current churches. The people cast judgement on those who don't exactly fit the right standards of being a Christian even though Jesus' time on earth was about loving one another including the sinners. When we go to heaven Jesus will know everything we have done and if our life wasn't full of the love of Christ He will reject us. I struggle everyday with my own personal demons but I refuse to allow my struggles turn to hatred so i do my best to love the best way I can.

    E.... B....

    @Mark Abney thank you very much it's one of my favorite songs ever of any genre I'm not a person who cries much but this song brings tears to my eyes and goosebumps. I used to sing in church but I've not been involved in it in a long time I honestly miss it . I struggle as well bro

  53. B.... K....

    Brantley's music saved my life.. I mean this in a literal sense too. I lost someone not too long ago and I was going thru it. I couldn't cope with her death and I was drinking every night, blowing thru my cash on the drink and drugs. I heard "just as I am" and just cried.. it was such a release. It changed my thought process. This man saved my life and I'll never be able to personally thank him for it. Maybe this is the next best thing. Thank you BG. For speaking the words I couldn't and still can't seem to find.

  54. r.... ....

    LOVE THIS SONG!

  55. S.... B....

    Thanks Brantley for another great hit been leaning on this song lately

  56. R.... K....

    Awesome song

  57. E.... T....

    Kinda Needed This. Thanks Brantley!! This Is Why Your The Only Tru Song Writer In Country. Your Still From The Heart.

  58. f.... e....

    Keeping it real country and classy. Way to go Mr. Brantley.

  59. J.... L....

    Stopped believing in God a long time ago. But I love the fact BG shows his faith in his music. His talent is spectacular and faith inspirational. Keep true to what you believe Sir, it's beautiful.

    J.... L....

    @Jenn Larocque explain how it is close minded to recognize truth? Notice that you haven't even ATTEMPTED to refute what i have said.
    Besides, close minded people aren't a problem in your worldview. Explain to me how your worldview allows for moral absolutes please.

    And no. You are extremely self decieved. You aren't turning further away from God because of me, you turned from him because you love your sin and are ENSLAVED to that sin. I'm open minded and welcome discussion on any other worldview up against the Triune God of Scripture. So how is that close minded? And Catholisim? Hate to break it to you but roman Catholisim teaches a false gospel too.

    J.... L....

    @Shane Ingle because I know it is pointless to explain to someone who is set in their belief. You would just throw more words written by man explaining a God that doesn't exist. You are set, you don't believe in science (rules of evolution), ect. You are close minded.
    I hardly live in sin. I live a very good life, giving and helpful. I do it for me, not to live under the fear of having to repent for some mistakes, or be smited.
    I think as long as we live in harmony it shouldn't matter who or what people believe in.

    J.... L....

    @Jenn Larocque   ah yes! This is where the shoes come off. Let me tackle at your ridiculous claims individually.

    *You are set, you don't believe in science (rules of evolution), ect*
    This is great. Because it is YOUR worldview that cannot even ACCOUNT for the successes of science. At the very bottom of science lays the uniformity in nature and the principle of induction. Would you like to justify an appeal that satisfies the uniformity in nature in the principle of induction? How is that possible in your wordview ma'm id really like to know .
    Also, evolution is NOT scientific. It does NOT have the credentials of being scientific AT ALL. It is philosophical at best.

    *You are close minded*
    On the contrary YOU are close minded. Secondly, you believe that we are evolved primordial scum. That our ancestors were fish. Is being close minded objectively wrong? You are borrowing from MY worldview to argue against it.

    *I hardly live in sin. I live a very good life, giving and helpful.*
    No, you live in sin everyday, because you reject your creator every day. It is a sin to reject the God that you have absolutely no rational grounds for denying. And you live a very good life? How do you know that it is "good"? What standard of "Good and bad" are you appealing to too judge anything as being good or bad?

    Please actually ATTEMPT to answer these questions, because it is YOUR worldview that is at odds with science and morality, not mine.

    J.... L....

    @Shane Ingle you are a Christian that gives Jesus a bad name. You are judging this lady even though you dont know her. You are supposed to be sharing the word of GOD not condemning someone that believes differently than you.

    J.... L....

    @debbie reinhardt Ok so absolutely nothing you said is biblical. Yes I am judging this lady because Christians are SUPPOSESD to judge righteously, which was the teachings of Jesus, so how is that giving Jesus a bad name? Was the apostle Paul giving Jesus a bad name when he was judging and CONDEMNING the religious philosophers of his day on Mars hill? I suggest you read the book of acts. Or was he giving Jesus a bad name when he was writing to the galtians when he told them he wishes they would masculate themselves when practicing circumcision to keep the law? I say this with respect but it seems as if you don't know what the name of Jesus is and how we are supposed to defend his name. And you have created a false dichotomy between sharing the word of GOD and "condemning" people. Does the word of God NOT *specifically* say, AND condemn, those who are not in Christ and does the Bible NOT make clear that those people will spend an eternity in everlasting torment? I believe it does. And if you are going to ignore that aspect of scripture then it is YOU who gives Jesus and Christianity a bad name, not me. All i have done is said that all worldviews apart from the biblical worldview is ultimately reduced to absurdity, and that if one does not put their faith in Jesus since he IS the ONLY WAY, then you cannot see the kingdom of heaven. That is what I have preached. But guess what? The Bible describes the gospel as being the stinch of death to unbelievers, so we are to EXPECT some sort of retaliation when preaching the gospel IF done correctly. The burden of proof is on you to show what I have said to be wrong from a biblical perspective. God bless :)

  60. c.... b....

    We are we choose to be how ever we chose to be and if music is what it takes us to be a better person then gosh dang it I feel purty good right now

  61. N.... E....

    Damn I wish he would do his whole albums in this type of stuff. Still not bad songs but some of his stuff is just too rap country. This is the type of song I love from him. Give me that pure emotion and real music in here

    N.... E....

    I agree

    N.... E....

    Look up how he started. You'll understand him as an artist more.

    N.... E....

    Alex Larson that’s why I said what I said. I know he has put out whole albums in this. Have listened to every album and every song. These type of ones are his best

  62. L.... D....

    🖤🗣👑

  63. s.... ....

    This is why I love Brantley so much, all of his songs have so much emotion, so much feeling... the stories told... incredible. Love him!

  64. S.... B....

    When I reached for the hair of the dog in the drawer? What does that even mean

    S.... B....

    Whiskey in the drawer of his nightstand... Hair of the dog is an old country phrase for drinking a little after a hangover to sober yourself up... It doesn't work, it just means your an alcoholic. 😐

    S.... B....

    @Janson Gander oh okay thanks I never heard that phrase before.

    S.... B....

    Hair of the dog is just half the phrase. It's "A lil hair of the dog that bit" him.

  65. K.... B....

    You're exactly right Brantley. We have no right judging each other. Only ONE can do that and that's Almighty God. Great tune. God bless you.

    K.... B....

    with much do respect that isn't true. As Christians we are told to Judge righteously, just not hypocritically. I would much rather have a fellow brother judge me and keep me accountable than for God to Judge me on judgement day. It's a fearful thing to fall in the hands of the living God.

  66. a.... h....

    Damn good song #bgnation

  67. C.... ....

    Although Brantley is die hard Baptist and I'm a Catholic, I couldn't imagine finding a more passionate brother in Christ and a more humble sinner.

    C.... ....

    CassCountyCountry we must still continue to pray for all those who aren’t members of the one true Church.

    C.... ....

    @Ian Hernandez amen

    C.... ....

    We may be a million different denominations but at the end of the day we are all christians.

    C.... ....

    im Pentecostal and we are all gods children no matter what.

    C.... ....

    @jessica chubet yes we are all God's children but you can simply go to Heaven with salvation if you accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Can I get an amen?

  68. G.... H....

    You have to see it and live it to write it, great song, thank you, Brantley, Jamey and Allison.

  69. E.... R....

    As a new born Christan..this bought tears to my eyes. I love you Brantley thank you for my new favorite song.

    E.... R....

    Please don't lose that feeling little sister...AMEN TO WHAT YOU SAID, GOD BLESS & HANG IN THEIR.

    Salvation awaits anyone’s who ready to come to Jesus and it is his name and no other name who you which you can be saved 🙏

  73. d.... j....

    if u live for the lord and obey him, HE WILL KNOW YOU AND ACCEPT YOU. I love the song, but I HATE THE PART that says "theres a chance he wont know me". Dont live wayward. Life is short, live it for the God who created you, JESUS. Love you brantley!
