Raise Hell Lyrics - Bear Creek - Brandi Carlile

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 don came to me 

and kissed me in my sleep, 

and I'll be singing like and 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 across 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 

Photos 

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 lay. 

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
