The singer is scared about the world and all the evil there's outside the door, and that they would even get violent to protect themselves (using a "little pistol").
The brimstone and fire (on the roses) may represent god's fury, and they say they found Jesus, a liar, which may mean that they were christian, but they are starting to rethink their religion and trying to make God angry.
At the end of the song, they finally find what they wanted, and what was best for them, so that they don't need to harm others anymore to feel safe.
