The lyrics for “Ashes”, the closing track, were written by Kiko Loureiro and use the last act of the play, in which Prospero reflects on what he has done and forgives everyone on the island . He realizes that his behavior and way of thinking would not be a peaceful way to live and that forgiveness would be the only way. He then leaves his magic books behind and starts a new life. The lyrics end with the last sentence of the play:

“We are made of the same essence as our dreams”.
