It's about how mankind has fucked up the world so bad and will continue to do so until it destroys itself ("The city will reap what its sewn", "Only after the last tree is cut/And the last river poisoned/Only after the last fish is caught/Will you find that money cannot be eaten").
Also, most of these lyrics are wrong anyway.
Real lyrics:
"Humanity's a failed experiment
Walking the path to extinction
Spinning his wheels endlessly
Grease it with oil and uranium
The earth will shake
And the waters will rise
The elements reclaim what was taken
What was taken...
The skyline is set ablaze with regret
Ashes cover a falling silhouette
The city will reap what its sewn and ignite
Watching as the city burns tonight
Blindly consuming mass manufactured faith
Mankind is a festering parasite
Relentlessly draining its host dry
Nailing belief to a cross of genocide
The elements reclaim what was taken
What was taken...
The skyline is set ablaze with regret
Ashes cover a falling silhouette
The city will reap what its sewn and ignite
Watching as the city burns tonight
Only after the last tree is cut
And the last river poisoned
Only after the last fish is caught
Will you find that money cannot be eaten
When everything becomes irrelevant
When the sky tears open
Fire rains down, fair rains down
The fourth world comes to an end
Push the button, light the match
Feel the fault lines detach
Cross hairs in an evening light
I sit and watch the city burn tonight
The city burns tonight
The city is set ablaze with regret
Ashes cover a falling silhouette
The city will reap what it sews and ignite
Watching as the city burns tonight
