Epilogue
The memory remains

In this memory, the man's mother dies in solitude after being abandoned by her husband - his father. Guilt-ridden because he had been too busy to take care of her, the man seeks comfort by repressing his emotions and engaging in a ruthless struggle for material success.

Think hard, you're lying here in a hospital bed
Disregard the emotions inside your head
Concentrate on the real world beyond your mind
It's not too late to leave your burdens behind

We won't let you go
Take you down below
Dark crypts of your soul
Locked inside your head...
You're better off dead!

Locked away, she lives in isolation
It's been that way since he has gone
She's been through a life of deprivation
She depends on you, her only son

She won't let you go
Keep you down below
Dark crypts of your soul
Locked inside your head
You're better off dead!

Where are you, can't you hear her calling?
Nothing you can do, you have no time
There's no one there to catch her now she's falling
Why should you care, you're doing fine

She won't let you go
Keep you down below
Dark crypts of your soul
Locked inside your head
You're better off dead!

Now she's at rest, she finally found her peace
There's no need to blame yourself
You must let go or the pain will never cease
It's time to crawl out of your shell

Your mother died, the day your father left
A part of you died as well
Feelings of guilt will haunt you 'til the end
You must fight hard to break this spell

But it hurts...

You hear her voice, from beyond her grave
"Where were you, son, when I needed you
Is this your thanks for all the warmth I gave
Did you forget what I've been through?"

Then you hear his voice, cold and merciless
"You worthless fool, you let her die!"
And deep within yourself you must confess
Your ways cannot be justified

By now you realise you have to be relentless to survive
Repress your memories, bury your emotions and thrive!
It's your life!

Now she's at rest, she found her peace
You hear her voice from her grave
You must let go or the pain won't cease
"Is this your thanks for all I gave"
A part of you died as well
"You worthless fool, you let her die!"
It's time to crawl out of your shell
Your ways cannot be justified

By now you realise you have to be relentless to survive
Repress your memories, bury your emotions and thrive!
It's your life!
