Hi there.
Alot of people have been asking this translation, so here's my first try to translate lyrics.
my english skills are not fluent, so i'm very sorry about grammar errors.
As in many finnish songs,especially in hard rock / heavy songs, there is alot of phrases or cruel twists from phrases in them.
Ruoska (whip) - Tuonen viemää (gone with a demise)
Has alot to do with old Nursery rhyme, what are little boys made of? that goes like this:
What are little boys made of?
What are little boys made of?
Slugs and snails
And puppy-dogs' tails,
That's what little boys are made of.
What are little girls made of?
What are little girls made of?
Sugar and spice
And everything nice,
That's what little girls are made of
Feel free to correct me for my mistakes, enjoy.

The previous translation was pretty good. Here is slightly modified and
annotated translation of "Ruoska - Tuonen viemää".
Song: Tuonen viemää
Album: Ruoska - Radium (2005)
The Whip - Taken by Death (1)
What are little boys made of?
From worms, lizards and toxic mushrooms,
spawned in the depths of earth, (2)
from filth churned in a Hiidenkirnu. (3)
What are kind girls made of?
Formed form mud of drying spring,
from rocks on the wide road leading to hell, (4)
from wings ripped from angels.
Taken by Death (x4)
Taken by Death, sired in hate
Taken by Death, thanked with a switch
Taken by Death, cut out from flesh
Taken by Death, baptized in blood
Leather wing, tails, horns,
fangs, flocks of monsters.
On a rickety morgue slab,
playing see-saw at the edge of grave.
From those grow men and women,
nightmares infected with rabies.
Who raging love each others,
and pass their burdens to their children.
Taken by Death (x4)
Taken by Death, sired in hate
Taken by Death, thanked with a switch
Taken by Death, cut out from flesh
Taken by Death, baptized in blood
Sons and daughter from tree roots, (5)
From the rib-bone of the missing link.
It is better to dredge your soul form swamp.
It is better to be humble, better to run.
Taken by Death (x4)
Taken by Death, sired in hate
Taken by Death, thanked with a switch
Taken by Death, cut out from flesh
Taken by Death, baptized in blood

(1) "Tuoni" is old Finnish name for the incarnation of death. "Tuonen
viemää" can be translated as "Taken by Death". Hence the capital letter
in "Death". The name "Tuoni" is used in same way in the song "Tuonen
orjat" ("Slaves of Death") in the album "Ruoska - Amortem (2006)".
(2) The "Satan" here is emphasis for the word "depth". The word "syvästä
maasta" would mean "from deep land", but "saatanan syvästä maasta" means
"from the depths of earth".
(3) "Hiisi" is old Finnish name for a giant troll. Hiidenkirnu is
literally "Giant troll's butter churn". Hiidenkirnu is often been
translated as "Giant's kettle", but this translation misses the original
meaning.
Hiidenkirnu is a large sinkhole in solid rock. They have been formed at
the end of ice age, when glacial melt-waters formed large whirlpools,
and boulder at the bottom of the whirlpool begin to roll around and
grind away the softer rock.
Here is a picture of hiidenkirnu with a grinding stone in the bottom:

A hiidenkirnu is very unusual feature in landscape, and it may look like
it was a deliberately manufactured, so ancestors thought it was a butter
churn made by giant trolls.
Here is a picture of traditional butter-churn, which turns cream into butter:

The movie "Trollhunter (2010)" shows what kind of creatures our
ancestors were thinking of when they were talking about Hiisi.

(4) The "wide road" comes from old moral teachings. "Staying on the
narrow path" means living modest life with no sin or excess, but
"walking on the wide road" means having loose morals and eventually
going to hell. When a un-married girl gets pregnant, it is said that
"she stumbled on a rock on the wide road".
(5) The term "from tree roots" can mean "hardened by difficult life".
