It sounds like multiple samples of a child saying "ya", among other short words that sound like replies.
The first half of the song is an adult speaking rambling nonsense. We no longer accept it. It makes to no sense to us. We accept our inner child, instead.
I suspect those samples of a kid is meant to be our own inner child in the second half. We can hear it again, which means we can listen to it again. After the war, the process of what happened allowed us to find it again. The crowned and conquering child is the child within. The gorgeous piano melody is not meant to just be melancholic, but bring a great sense of inner peace, comfort, and fulfillment in finding that child again after all this time and struggle. Now you can finally be free of all this mind-control nonsense and power hunger found in the religions of the modern world. Since you can hear and listen to it again, You can Retreat in Time and Space and restore yourself to the core values you have in your inner child. Something closer to personal innocence and purity and apparently involves a kick-ass baseline.
I think the whole album describes an inner struggle involving the nature of reality. The whole thing comes to a resolution of ridding oneself of the twisted ideas presented by the religions of the modern world and finding and following the inner child again. Inferno means permanently destroying the harsh hold the world has on you so you can gain your own grip on it. Then you can eventually make your way towards nothingness like everything else, but on your own terms.
