I think it's about a young boy asking his mother how he should live his life....if he is meant for "Hell" he'll live recklessly...if he's meant for "Heaven" he seems no reason to ponder on the passing of the years since something better awaits him after. She answers him by saying that there are no rules, in short there is no God or Heaven or Hell.
The rest of the song i'm unsure about...who exactly she is meant to be or what her lifestyle is meant to imply...but perhaps the fact that she is a learned person who is making these old statues "pretty" might be a way of changing how we look at history in light of modern thinking and scientific fact.
