That wouldn't count as back seat modding, you backwards little girl. 
The Epitaph could be either a riddle or just a song, depending on how deep of a meaning you believe it has. In olden times, Vikings and what-not wrotes songs to either tell a story or hide a code which could be easily discovered by those for whom it was meant.
At least I think it was Vikings.
Anyways, if you look at anything, you could come to view a deeper meaning or code-- it's just an insight and theory you could have, but no one really knows... it's the same as reading To Kill a Mocking Bird and then having to explain what indepth message it brings; completely useless, but gives you the skills to see past words.

I cast FAIL on those who mock my old signature.

well, anyway, the epitaph is mainly about a group of people trying to find (and defeat?) the twilight dragon; that party consisting of Helba:the queen of dark, and Aperion: the king of light who band against it.....and something about "the wave." (excuse me if im wrong; Im a bit rusty on my .hack analogy ._.;;)
aaaaaaaaaaaand (well, I guess I should use a spoiler tag)
[spoiler]Its supposed to mirror how lios and helba band together against morgana. How lios relates to the king of light is that his adminstrator password is "aperion".[/spoiler]

why are there boyscouts in pakistan? I dont know!)
This is the epitaph of the twilight, I am not sure if it is in the right order or not, I just got it from Wiki. It is a poem that Emma Weilant wrote. I think its what 'The World' is based on. I'm not entirely sure wether it should be a spoiler or not, so it will have a spoiler tag.
[spoiler]
Yet to return, the shadowed one.
Who quests for the Twilight Dragon
Rumbles the Dark Hearth,
And Helba, Queen of the Dark,
has raised finally her army.
Apeiron, King of Light beckons.
At the base of the rainbow they meet
Against the abominable Wave,
together they fight.
Alba's lake boils.
Light's great tree doth fall.
Power- now all to droplets turned
in the temple of Arche Koeln.
Returns to nothing,
this world of shadowless ones.
Never to return, the shadowed one,
Who quests for the Twilight Dragon.
Unknown where the Cursed Wave was born…
After the stars doth cross the heavens,
The sky in the East doth darken and air doth fill with mourning.
From the chosen land beyond the forest, a sign of the wave comes.
Riding the Wave is Skeith, the Shadow of Death, to drown all that stands.
Mirage of Deceit, Innis, Betray all with the flawed image, and did aid the Wave.
And by the Power of Magus, a drop from the Wave doth reach the heavens, and creates a new Wave.
With the Wave, Fidchell, the power to tell the dark future, hope darkens, sadness and despair rule.
Gorre schemes when swallowed by the Cursed Wave.
Macha seduces with the sweet trap.
Wave reaches the Pinnacle, and escape none can. Tarvos still remains with more cruelty to punish and destroy.
And with the turbulent destruction after the Wave. Only a void remains. From deep within the void arrives Corbenik.
Perhaps then the Wave is just a beginning as well.
Like a frenzied horse that is driven.
An unseen wind of plague shrieks across the border.
Pandemonium, wailing, and the stench of carnage fills the air.
There is no place to run. No hope of escape.
Those who are mourned will never return.
The hands of time cannot be turned back.
Shunning the field broken by Wave.
The shadowed girl whispers,
"Surely, I will return."
Alas, the truth unbeknownst.
Awaiting her at journey's end;
Eternal mourning for her land.
When the finger points to the
yonder moon,
The fool will not look at the fingertip.
The whole cannot be changed.
We have already lost that chance.
Because the time left to us was short,
We were mistaken in our path.
But now do we realize,
We should change not the whole,
But the parts.
Wave soars and shrouds the eyes.
No means to fight an omnipresent force,
The shadowless ones just grieve.
Why must it be a Wave?
Divide, if it would just...
Then retaliate, we may
Over the Keel Mountains,
Meets an ape with human speech.
The ape asks,
"What clings to you?
Bear it - you cannot.
Accept it - you cannot.
But hidden - it is from you.
Recite its name."
“Mia’s Words�
Plaird of the Seven Sisters
Falling in love with a human,
Became a Shadowed One and
was exiled from the Dark.
Hence, her name came to be
called Plaird the Fallen.
At her wanderings' end,
she settled in seclusion
in Arche Haokar.
However, Those days
may not last.
A reunion may come, or
may not. Plaird's form
vanishes at the coming of the
harbinger of the Wave.

Life was created on this planet and countless species have appeared and disappeared. Even if humans eventually become extinct the earth will continue to journey across the galaxy without a second thought.

I wasn't sure if it was part of the epitaph or not. Mia says it in ...I think volume three of the game
