In a Prison of Peace and Regret (called Cage of Remorse and Relief on the Revival disc, sometimes unofficially referred to as Ship Of Regret And Sleep) is Disc 2, Track 1 on the Xenogears Original Soundtrack and track 27 on the Xenogears Original Soundtrack Revival Disc -the first and the last-. A vocal remix of the track, The End of Childhood (Revival Version), was made for the Revival disc, and was also performed at the Xenogears 20th Anniversary Concert -The Beginning and the End- and is the 14th track on the associated Blu-Ray disc. It is one of the tracks playable in the Nortune jukebox, under the option 'The World'.
It plays as the area music in the Ethos Headquarters, and in all cutscenes when the party enters there for the first time. It also plays in the following cutscenes:
- The party asks Billy if the Ethos can treat the unconscious Fei.
- The Shevat officials decide to freeze Fei in carbonite.
- Ramsus attacks Nisan and Elly, looking for Fei.
- Elly fights Krelian's guard at Golgoda.
- Citan narrates the rise of Merkava and the Seraph Angels.
- Krelian tells the party of his era how Sophia was the only one unafraid of him (flashback).
- Lacan and Sophia tell each other their feelings in the hospital (flashback).
- Krelian resolves to create God with his own hands (flashback).

Album notes[edit]
原曲はバロック調の楽曲でしたが、今回はブルガリアンヴォ
イスとストリングスという組み合わせでアレンジをしてみまし
た。一人の嘆きが波紋のようにどんどん広がってゆくイメー
ジです。 本来ブルガリアンヴォイスは主旋律と並行する副旋
律と音程が動かない通奏音 (ドローン)で構成するのです
が、コーラスアレンジはあえてクラシカルな手法を取ってみま
した。非常に面白い効果が出たと思います。
Although this piece was originally in a Baroque style, here I
tried giving it a "Bulgarian voices and strings" sort of
arrangement. The image I had in mind is of a lone person's grief
spreading out like successive ripples. Typically, the structure
of Bulgarian voices is of a main melody accompanied by a
supporting melody and a constant tone at a fixed pitch (a drone),
but I purposefully tried taking a classical approach for the
choral arrangement. I feel this produced quite an interesting
effect.
