I apologize for all the speaking parts because I did those by ear.
For those who don't understand: DON'T BE THROWN OFF BY THE DOLL; SHE'S NOT A DOLL IN THE SONG. This thief has a daugther who's sick and about to die. For her birthday she asks for a picture book so he goes off to rob someone for the money to buy it. {In the concert he kills a groom and is stabbed by the bride afterwards} He gets fatally wounded and is crawling home through the snow. Meanwhile, the little girl, El, is dying and is fading in and out of hallucinations. She asks her father, in her dreams, all these questions about Paradise. They both die, the man is forever doomed to wander looking for his daughter, while El is sent to Paradise. Thus for the rest of the concert/CD, this 'masked man', the thief, is trying to find his daughter and shows up at the end of Ark, Baroque, Yield, Sacrifice and Stardust, hoping they are his daughter, then taking them with him to his 'eternal underworld Paradise'.
