I'll stay with my theory.
Beyond the Veil is a story, a concept album if you like.
The story starts with a girl not seeing the purpose of life, and commits suicide.
She drifts trough the underworld in the Styx(it all seems to be based on Greek myth).
The monotone grey agony of the river doesn't suit her, and she somehow is granted rebirth by braking from the stream and drifting into the Lethean river.
She forgets her past live, and is given a new one.
However, she once again endures life as a painful and uninteresting thing.
Not sure how, but she dies again, wether by her own doing or of old age.
This time, as this song indicates, she is send to paradise: the last relieving reward of death.
The last two songs are kind of obscure in this concept.
It would seam that she taunts the gods, and then wakes from the nightmare, which could be a metaphor for her life, or indicate that the previous songs were all a fictional story.
