Tuonen viemää [English translation]

From what have little boys been made?

Worms, lizards and poisonous mushrooms

Breed from Satan's deep land

Churned in a pothole1, filth

From what have kind girls been made?

Molded from silt, the fountain dries up

From the stones of Hell's wide roads

Wings ripped from angels

Taken by death (x4)

Taken by death

Inseminated in hate

Taken by death

Thanked with a rod

Taken by death

Mined from flesh

Tkaen by death

Wetted in blood

Leather wings, tails, horns

Eyetooths, monster flocks

On top of an unsteady ruumislauta2

Swingplay on the edge of a grave

From them grow men, women

Rabid nightmares

Love ragingly each other

Rise their burden(s) to their children's shoulders

Taken by death (x4)

Taken by death

Inseminated in hate

Taken by death

Thanked with a rod

Taken by death

Mined from flesh

Tkaen by death

Wetted in blood

Boys, daughters, from a rootstock tree

From a missing wheel's rib

It's the best to fish from3 soul's swamp

It's the wisest to humble, wiser to run

Taken by death (x4)

Taken by death

Inseminated in hate

Taken by death

Thanked with a rod

Taken by death

Mined from flesh

Tkaen by death

Wetted in blood
