This is the point where the protagonist sits in the cell after facing his brother. He carves his story on the wall. The only thing that comforts him is the ghost of his dead sister Jolee, the Angel of Afterlife, which appears several times during his imprisonment and sings for him.
I think that after this song the album begins to retell the story from the beginning, starting with Ashes to Ashes, which is about the family slowly falling apart after the death of Jolee. But I don't know when the circle is complete yet, but I think it could be on "My Confession", since its lyrics are nearly identical with the spoken word passage on "Manus Dei". But if that is the case I don't know what happens in the following songs (Silverthorn - Prodigal Son).
I think I figured it out - "My Confession" is the confession he makes at the cathedral. Silverthorn is the moment he and Robert meet again. "Falling Like the Fahrenheit" is Robert seeing his evil plans completed. After that, the story's gone full-cycle: The protagonist is in prison, while Robert is free but still suffers - that's what "Solitaire" is about. After that, "Prodigal Son" is a conclusion: "Given love or given hate determines everybody's fate in life - be careful what you give."
