G G/F# Em G Em G


                Em
Hell’s gates on fire
                  G
Two million acres gone
         D                                          Am
But when the going gets tough the tough gets moving on
        Em
Morning noon or night
                  G
The fighters take chances
            D                                                    Am
If grit was worth its weight in water, there’s no way the fire advances


Chorus:
          C                       Em
Keep your spirits up and lay your heads down
              C       C/B     Am     G  F     D
Unless you’re praying for the flames to drown
                      C                  Em
The winds not letting up and the situation is dire 
             C      D               Em
We need more angels, Hells 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 intervention
Baptize this land, God we need your attention

Chorus

Chorus

We need more angels
Hell’s gates on fire
