Song Acording to Portnoy's answer to a question in his website FAQ: "(...)Basically, I took a lot of personal incidents, like losing my mother and a couple of things that happened in my life, and I wrote them into the lyrics. Like, on a smaller scale, I wouldn't try to compare it with this, but when I listen to Pink Floyd's the Wall, there are a lot of emotions there- just a lot of frustrations and anger. He goes full circle, the character. He has a child and just as he's about to pass on and die, now his son is going to have to live the life he did and go through those same experiences."[1]
The Crimson Sunrise
An instrumental part, which acts like an "Overture" to the suite. It is related to fall, in which we can find those "crimson" colors; specially in sunrises and sunsets, themes treated in the song. An instrumental is, in contrast to a song, a musical composition or recording without lyrics or any other sort of vocal music; all of the music is produced by musical instruments. ...

Innocence First part with vocals, the character refers to his life and how it has changed. In the beggining, the narrator explain that he had the need for searching in new places for other chances in life, but "those days are gone now".
The character feels very lonely and depressed, and also he express that his ending is near, and there's no life to live for him.
Carpe Diem In this part, the character explains how all those words he heard before made him wiser about life, and how to live. He (supposing the character is a man) taught his son how to "seize the day", a phrase that he was taught by a male role model in his own life. He thinks it is one way to make a change in his life, and approach the opportunity of living. The he explains again that days like "those are gone", that expecting a better future is possible, but there is no chance to know if there's going to be any.
At the end of the lyrics, the character explains how was the passionate departure of a woman.
The Darkest of the Winters Instrumental. An instrumental is, in contrast to a song, a musical composition or recording without lyrics or any other sort of vocal music; all of the music is produced by musical instruments. ...
Another World The character is placed in spring, he feels very far from the past, so many things have happened; he feels the need to give up in life, alone, and says that he had an idea of how would he like life to be, but this dream only caused him suffering, when he found out that it is impossible to have it.
Near to the end an angrier and stronger character is found, in lyrics talking about hypocrisy, life changes, and rejection. This part seems to be a parallel of sorts to the crucifixion of Christ looking at how even those closest to you can turn against you.
The Inevitable Summer Instrumental. An instrumental is, in contrast to a song, a musical composition or recording without lyrics or any other sort of vocal music; all of the music is produced by musical instruments. ...
The Crimson Sunset The character is placed watching the sunset with his son. The Character looks upon all the bad and good experiences in his life and how they equipped him for struggles later in life. The Character then says good-bye to his son, and tells him he is going to die at that moment, but he will still be with him.
