The voice-over at the end of "Repentance", presumably done by Portnoy himself, is the following text:
"If we are painstaking about this phase of our development, we will be amazed before we are half way through.
We are going to know a new freedom and a new happiness.
We will not regret the past nor wish to shut the door on it.
We will comprehend the word serenity and we will know peace.
No matter how far down the scale we have gone, we will see how our experience can benefit others.
That feeling of uselessness and self pity will disappear.
We will lose interest in selfish things and gain interest in our fellows.
Self-seeking will slip away.
Our whole attitude and outlook upon life will change.
Fear of people and of economic insecurity will leave us.
We will intuitively know how to handle situations which used to baffle us.
We will suddenly realize that God is doing for us what we could not do for ourselves.
Are these extravagant promises? We think not. They are being fulfilled among us—sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly. They will always materialize if we work for them."

Scroll half-way down the page. It's that text, word-for-word.
Also, for "Repentance", I can clearly hear Neal Morse's voice, coming in at 6:52 saying "I'm sorry for what I did...". Can anyone else confirm that?
The ending also has the following:
"You're only as sick as your secrets, but the truth shall set you free."
"The truth is the truth, it's all you can do is live with it."
