I loved this song from the first moment I heard it. C'est une chanson magnifique enchanteresse. As it stands, usual disclaimer: I speak Hymmnos, but not Japanese.
Well, after weeks of dilly-dallying and a single afternoon of actually getting stuff done, I have a fully-functioning lyric video. Not many people might be interested, but then again I do this for the fun of it.
This song was sung SPOILERS by Aurica by force; she was lied to into believing it was to receive Tilia, which is why I used the word 'metempsychosis'. That's also the reason behind the Hymmnos text at the bottom; it's a warning about the intended and actual target differing.
Raw lyrics and basis of translation:

Translated by me.
I took quite a bit of inspiration from T96able's translation; while unpolished, it shines through brilliantly at moments and I must thank him for having it up. I stand now upon the shoulders of giants.
To me this one of Haruka's best Hymn's i mean Luca's were good but Aurica's just seem to deliver more impact to me.

Thank you for the video and the translation. I appreciate how much time you put into making this video, it looks amazing :)

Ah. Thanks for that, I've amended the description to include that and a description of the Hymmnos text.
