Need some lyrical help on a new TOOL song

[Mr. Flopnuts]

On the song Right in Two, the lyrics leading up say "Silly monkey give them thumbs, they make a club and beat their brother down. How they survive so misguided is a mystery. If ever there was a creature who could squander the ability to ??????????????" Help TOOL fans.




Edit: It sounds like I hear the words lift, light, heaven, and conscious, but I just can't make it out.

[DMAC]

Squander the ability to lift an eye to heaven,
Conscious of his fleeting time here.

[Mr. Flopnuts]

Rep for that. Thanks for your help.
