Josh Abbott Band - Hell's Gates On Fire Lyrics






Hell’s gates on fire
Two million acres gone
But when the going gets tough
The tough get moving on

Morning noon or night
The fighters take chances
If grit was worth its weight in water
There’s no way the fire advances

Keep your spirits up
Don’t let your heads down
Unless you’re praying for the flames to drown
The wind’s not letting up
And the situation is dire
We need more angels
Hell’s gates on fire

Smoke fills the air
It’s getting harder to breathe
No matter how hard we try
We can’t match her speed

Ashes falling down on us
We need divine intervention
To baptize this land
God we need your attention

Keep your spirits up
Don’t let your heads down
Unless you’re praying for the flames to drown
The wind’s not letting up
And the situation is dire
We need more angels
Hell’s gates on fire

And keep your spirits up
Don’t let your heads down
Unless you’re praying for the flames to drown
The wind’s not letting up
And the situation is dire
We need more angels
Hell’s gates on fire

We need more angels
Hell’s gates on fire.

  1. A.... ....

    I was lucky enough not to lose my house but there's nothing left but a foundation at my neighbors house. But now they use it to tailgate. Always find the bright side!

  2. z.... T....

    Lost my deer lease at the time to this fire. Its nothing compared to what the families that were devastated by this. God Bless them all. #RebuildEvenStronger   #NothingCantBreakUSa  

  3. A.... S....

    My grandparents lost their house in this fire. They lost a lot of money. And a lot of photos… 

  4. a.... c....

    it doesn't feel like this was 2 years ago

  5. G.... B....

    It was a tragic time. My house was so close to getting burned, but thank goodness it didn't. My friend's house was burned and there was nothing i could have done to prevent it. 2 people died and so did the lost pines.

  6. t.... ....

    I remember that was bad fire.

  7. r.... m....

    i know whats this talking about i had a freind who was the frist responders to this fire in basdrop texas

  8. B.... F....

    god works in some mysterious ways

  9. M.... P....

    A beautiful song and a moving tribute to the heros who risk their lives to "dance with the devil". God bless you.

  10. S.... H....

    The one dislike dosnt deserve help from first responders if it is ever needed

  11. J.... ....

    i love this song i fought the pk complex and and the 101 ranch fire and this song is just awesome

  12. K.... L....

    Great video! but the song is about the wildfire at Possum Kindom's Hells gate. And you didnt even show pictures of it PK or hells gate.

  13. x.... ....

    Thank God for bringing the rains to stop Texas from burning down and for all the corageous men and women who helped put a stop to these fires. GOD BLESS TEXAS!

  14. K.... B....

    love it
    all should donate

  15. f.... ....

    @nanamels I searched for the song title and josh abbott and got the band website..and they have it available for a minimum donation of $1, but you can pay more. I added a just wee bit extra for wildfire victims, so including the out of print CDs I've tracked down and paid beaucoup dollars for, this is now the most expensive song I've added to my collection :)

  16. C.... M....

    The is a awesome song... That is a very touching video and song.. God help us all in Texas.. We have had fires all around us thank god we have not been burned out... And my heart goes out to those that have lost everything... We pray for rain we need it so bad hoped for it off the hurricane and all we got was lots of wind, it fueled out wild fires and caused more with downed trees on power lines..

  17. R.... G....

    Any way you could make a video with all the pictures I have from the Magnolia fire to go with this song?

  18. B.... B....

    i just love the song.. it goes pretty well with my emotions

  19. A.... ....

    That was perfect.
    I hope anyone watching this WILL donate (what they CAN) to Cen Tex WIldfire Relief. And, please do PASS THIS ON!

    Am FEATURING- hope many more will, also!!

  20. c.... ....
