| Yeah, if you have My Arms Your Hearse, you see they wrote lyrics for Prologue, Madrigal, and Epilogue. None of the lyrics were used, though. Personally, I think the song is the most beautiful piece of music Opeth has ever done, and the lyrics basically double that. Hell, my computer background at university has those lyrics on it, heh. | |

| well this is the ending of the story, the ghost finally has peace with the fact that he is dead and can't stay with the she-person. he is at peace now and goes to heaven or the afterlife or whatever you want to call it | |

| I think the first part is about the ghost realizing his destiny no longer involves him actively being a part of her life, but also realizing that he will never completely fade away from her memory, so he's saying farewell as the sun rises. | |

| it is an instrumental. They just put lyrics in to finish off the story. They aren't actually sung. Same goes for Prologue. | |
