Lyric discussion by mhorton 

I agree, except I think this is written from the point of view of someone living a decade or two from now if we continue our present course. When the wonton deforestation, polution, etc, has brought the world to the point where it can no longer support us and humans will be on the endangered list... (We’re the last of our kind) Then we will at last put aside the greed that has brought us there and make an attempt to stop it, but it is too little, too late. The effects of our pollution continue long after they are released, stopping the production when we're on the brink won't be enough. (As the sea started rising, The land that we’d conquered just washed away.) Global warming melting the icecaps, rising the sea levels... We conquer the land rather than living with it. (Though balance is something fragile) The ecosystem is a fragile balance that we are tipping. (The sacrifice was much too high) The sacrifice is the destruction of our world in exchange for the profit we make in the process. (Today is the end of tomorrow) This is the best line. Usually it is flipped around "The death of today is only the birth of tomorrow", a cliche of optimism. Here is is the opposite. What we do today is destroying tomorrow.

(Today is the end of tomorrow) i really like these words i mean they really have a place in my life cuz i was forced to make a decision in my life so every time i hear these words it really makes me remeber the past.
