I think don't really think that their is any signifcance to the age of eight in this song. I think that what the band is trying to get across is that todays society had degraded to the point where Jesus wouldn't even be allowed to live to the age of eight.
The age could reflect king Herod's response to Christ's birth but is unlikely because Herod ordered the death of all boys under the age of two in Bethlehem and surrounding areas.
