@antialles I'm pretty sure Frances is the protagonist, Vismund Cygnus is the father, Miranda is the mother, and L'Via is the sister.
Basically, he states that his life and his voyage to find his biological family are both meaningless which is basically what antialles said. Also, "Lachrymal cloud" is an uber-fancy way of saying "rain".
Sarcophagi is my favorite part of FTM, partly musically, but also because of how it bookends the album and what it means in terms of the story. I'm pretty sure it's a way of stating how the story is cyclical and has no true end. However, sometimes I think that the story does end, albeit a sad ending and that the opening Sarcophagi is a foreshadowing of the end. After all, it's played so quietly and abruptly transitions into the major part of Cygnus.
