If upon that day I die I'm too drunk to walk let alone to drive and I'm kickin' and I'm spittin' like I'm wild and feral won't you take me to heaven in a wheelbarrow.
I'm going to heaven in a wheelbarrow. I'm going to heaven yessir. I'm going to heaven in a wheelbarrow so won't you take me there.
Well I met a woman from the wrong side of town who gets me up when I'm going down. She keeps me in line shootin' straight and narrow now she's taking me to heaven in a wheelbarrow.
I met woman with a cold heart. She tried to take me to heaven in a shopping cart. Woman you're putting my soul in peril I'm going to heaven in a wheelbarrow.
A lot of men don't stand so tall. Most of us you know we gotta fall. Some are lookin' life down a shotgun barrel but I'm going to heaven in a wheelbarrow.

i like this version better than the original. The middle part has that aggression that makes the excellent balance with the beginning and ending of the song. owlobo

This might be my favourite of Heilung. They've improved a bit on their later releases but their debut is still much meaner, and darker. Maria's amazing voice obviously steals the show but I also quite like Kai's too, especially on the live performance. In fact I'd say get LIFA over this IMO.
The spoken word bits are really cool to hear proto-germanic in use but for relistening purposes they are going to be a bit obtrusive. Nevertheless the proper music here is on continual repeat for me. Rabbit
