It seems to be talking about the human race in the beginning:
"Like maggots, they breed with headlines, dining the wounds in breathless cadavers."
Shows how we, as humans, are so inclined to start wars and kill each other.
"Mirror blind and aimed for gold. Now watch a terror turn on its own."
Perhaps the first sentence refers to the greed of humans, and the "terror" turning on its own...I think that refers to the whole killing thing again.
"They race. And they race to the carcass rot to feed.
And just past decay, this design delivers life, but they prefer to play cancer."
I think the third sentence of this line is saying that if we stop wars and killing, we could find ways to live longer and better, but we'd "prefer to play cancer", or let diseases go without curing them...something along those lines anyway.
"In chase for the sky, towers uprise. In fear, the earth quakes for what's forgot."
Saying how we build such grand buildings, etc. I think the second sentence is kinda the turning point in the song...from there on out it seems to be referring, basically, to the tribulation period. I bet a lot of these lines refer to things in the book of Revelations in the Bible, but researching it all out would take time.
"One day the reaping will return, and we'll be butchers no more.
Bring this slaughter home, and send everything above."
Perhaps referring to the rapture, sending "everything above" to heaven.

Does anyone understand "24 teeth in each of the 3 makes 72 white knives your new ending"?

-The father, son, and holy spirit coming to end the maggots. The 3 different aspects are given human chatacteristics so the 6 eyes, and their combined 72 teeth are white knives coming to destroy the old and evil. and then BRING YOUR KINGDOM HOME!

This is just my take on the song...line by line
