There we are judged by our deeds, by our Book of Life.
The melody has also influences from Creek folk music and I arranged it in Calypso rhythm, so it's real World Music.
I sing (in Finnish) and play the guitars.
I produced this at my home with Band in a Box and Reaper.
Translation:
Some have a lot of money / Hidden in their fat wallet /
But when we once leave to the other world / We have to travel with an empty wallet
Others have fancy clothes / Stylish, like in a fashion catalogue /
But when we once leave to the other world / Even the fanciest clothes are undressed
You can't take your money to the heaven / You have to go that road with empty pockets /
When we once finally reach the gate of heaven /
Our bag of sins is weighed / We are judged by our Book of Life
