"A sangre y fuego" is an idiom that means with violence, destroying everything and killing all people. I think that you say "by fire and sword"
It can be used to emphatize a concept: "Tengo grabadas a sangre y fuego sus palabras en mi cabeza." similar to "I have a strong presence of his words in my head."

"Grabado a fuego" yes. In English would be: "etched in my mind". Not "sangre y fuego" together. - 00483d91, Sep 19, 2013
You are right, the correct expression is "grabado a fuego", my mistake, but many people uses it with sangre because they mix both idioms. - caiser, Sep 19, 2013
