Looks right, though I think the second line would be better as "Let's bring an end to the ghostly system." Also, 'gefrassigen mauler' is a bit crasser than just 'hungry mouths'. Perhaps 'ravenous maws' (as far as I can guess off hand, gefrassig is derived ultimately from fressen, which means to eat, but only if you're an animal. Maul refers largely to animal mouths, though it's sometimes used (impolitely) to refer to people).
More on 'gefrässig'. My dictionary says that it means "immoderate, insatiable with respect to eating; full of the desire to eat (essgier).
Incidentally, if you're just looking up one word, leo.de is much better than babelfish, since it has a much larger dictionary, and it will give you a range of words instead of just one.
