The meaning of the lyrics is just secondary. This is just a parody of all those I-make-fake-artistic-lyrics-to-make-me-look-smart bands. Maybe I'll write rough translation here:

Herkkusieni - Mankind


Silent wave of silent mind
Stinging air of rising storm
Salty stream of devil
I don't want anything I don't hear
I journey towards cleansing
I look for acception from a corner of a round room.

(bridge)
I'm like a wolf in sheep's clothes
Waiting for your shield to become brittle
One more round of vicious circle
before the end of mankind

Dead valley of gray wind
clear shape of death's figure
With insolent gestures the time is stolen
I don't have time to fall asleep or love
The time for sowing the seeds has gone
Like a hourglass the sand of time spills into the space

(bridge)

(chorus)
Mankind, different kind
The demand of existence
The function of a gloomy mind
The solution of a human child
Bright flame, cry for help
A man drowns in space
Unconscious riddle
Opening cradle of emptiness

I don't talk because I'm not heard
I don't see because my awareness cries in pain
Like a song of sirens, floating attractively
I reach for past, I collapse, I experience
Me, the incarnation of decay
Flesh and blood, bad spirit, me myself

(bridge)

(chorus x 3)

Is there reason to live without time?
Is there reason to live without time?
There's no reason to live without time.
