Lyric discussion by JoNNieS K 

"Repugnant is a creature who would squander the ability to live tonight in heaven, conscious of his fleeting time here."

Seriously, how beautiful and poignant is that.

I believe that is incorrect. My interpretation is as follows:

Repugnant is a creature who would squander the ability to lift a light to heaven, conscious of his fleeting time here.

Basically I interpret this as giving acknowledgment to our creator.

My interpretation for this part is that we already live in heaven, (Earth = Eden) and refusing to see that is just ignorance/close mindedness. By attaching ourselves to stupid mundane things invented by us with no use whatsoever, we have blinded ourselves and forgot that this planet already provides us with everything we will ever need. Yet we still fight and destroy each other for the most ridiculous things.

'Don't these talking monkeys know that Eden has enough to go around? Plenty in this holy garden, silly old monkeys,'
