Black Clouds & Silver Linings. Portnoy considers the track as the Suite's "grand finale" and "knew it would really be made up of all the musical and lyrical references from the past, and bring them all together to wrap it all up." Before starting to write the track, the band listened to all four of the previous tracks in the Suite, making notes on the progressions of the parts and the melodies they wanted to reprise.
