The ending theme for Ar tonelico II: Melody of Metafalica irrespective of which ending the player has achieved.

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow. (Skip section)

This is the perfect form of Metafalica, the Song of Creation that will bring forth the paradise that the people of Metafalss sought during all their history. Given that this Song fuses the functions and effects of both the EXEC and METHOD parts, this fixes the flaws that EXEC_METAFALICA/. had when executed by itself.

It should also be noted that this Song is a multi-process Hymn, in which the many processes for turning Infel Phira into the Heart of the Land and using it as the basis for the new land are executed and confirmed sequentially. If each process is executed successfully, the Song will continue its execution, but if any process fails, the METHOD part will lose its effects and the EXEC part will have to be executed by itself.[1]

The process structure is shown in the table below:[2]

Process Meaning, Effect Activation Lyrics Main Part
Initialize Announcing that the great Song that will shake the world will be Sung. 天に満てよ 地に降り注げ

ten ni miteyo, chi ni furisosoge

Fill the skies, and descend upon the land

EXEC
Protocol Exchange The [Protocol Exchange], explained in a simple way; is the ceremony where the consciousnesses of both Singers are combined into one. It is the chaining of both the EXEC and METHOD parts. The Protocol Exchange also means that the Singing of the lyrics of both the EXEC and the METHOD parts will be executed at the same time. 幽けき 深淵の底

kasokeki shin'en no soko

Secluded in a deep abyss.

EXEC/METHOD
Recollection of Feelings and Transference of Symphonic Power The feelings of the people are collected for the creation of the Heart of the Land. This process is led by the METHOD part. 愛しき大地 一歩 靭く 踏みしめ

itoshiki daichi ippo tsuyoku fumishime

Take a soft step with this beloved land

METHOD
Signal for Starting the Creation of Metafalica Announcement of the Start of Metafalica Waath!!

Bring it back to life!!

N/A
Defragmentation of Infel Phira This is done to convert Infel Phira into the Heart of the Land for the continent. For that purpose, all the data adresses inside of Infel Phira, such as the Backup Data Memory Banks used by Implanta, are reformatted, and a Memory Remapping is executed. The only data that doesn't get erased by this process are the adresses where the Cosmospheres of the currently living IPDs are located. 謳は胸を溢れて

uta wa mune wo afurete

The Song floods my heart.

METHOD
Creation of the Heart of the Land Using the energy received from the METHOD part (Infel Phira), the EXEC part creates the Heart of the Land. 目眩き 蒼穹の 砕けし欠片

mabayuki soukyuu no kudakeshi kakera

The broken fragments of this dazzling, blue sky

EXEC
Creation of the Land Through the choral Singing of the EXEC and METHOD parts, the land and everything in it are created. Was  遠く 羽を のばして

Was 高く 空に 枝をのばし

Was tooku hane wo nobashite

Was takaku sora ni eda o nobashi

Was Extending faraway wings

Was Extend the branches to the lofty skies.

EXEC/METHOD

As shown in the table, one of the processes executed as part of Metafalica is defragmentation and memory optimization. This deletes any data that doesn't belong to the Cosmospheres of any currently-living IPDs and remaps the addresses in the SH Server so they won't be written to damaged or destroyed sectors of the memory, which completely nullifies any possibility of an IPD Outbreak happening in the future. Likewise, while this Song opens the Boundary Gates and connects the E-Spots of the IPDs during its execution, once the land has been created, the Boundary Gates will be closed permanently and Infel Phira will lose its Mode Shift capabilities.[3][4]

As this Song is the synchronized union of the EXEC and METHOD parts, this also fuses the feelings contained in both of them, forming the complete varda rhaplanca legend, and changing the sorrowful ending that EXEC_METAFALICA/. had into a story filled with hope.[5]

It was Sung in two occasions: one was when Infel and Nenesha tried to create Metafalica 400 years ago. However, due to Infel's heart being rejected by the people, the Song ended in failure. Much later on, it was Sung at the end of the events of the game by Cloche and Luca, and thanks to the efforts of their friends, the people of Metafalss, and Infel's unexpected yet irreplaceable collaboration, Metafalica was finally created. The creation of its Heart of the Land also caused ripples that would greatly change the world come the events of Ar tonelico Qoga: Knell of Ar Ciel.

Feelings Contained in This Song[]

In that land, the rain did not fall.
It was only a stormy land that continued to exist upon the world.
The people lived like if they were slurping the occasional water to which
they tied their lives, and the scarce food they could get.
They were always embraced by despair, that was how they lived their lives
in that land.
And in one of these days, something that could be considered as something
either very big, or very small, happened.
That was something that was overlooked by everyone because of its small size,
and at the same time, something that no one could have overlooked because
of its greatness...

One girl called Rhaplanca, during one night in the wasteland, found a seed.
It was a very, very small seed.
The girl thought: "I want to cultivate this seed. I want to make it grow
into a splendid tree
However, in this land, there wasn't even enough water for me to live."
So Rhaplanca began drinking only half of her own water, and began sharing
the other half with the seed.
The people called Rhaplanca a fool, and spoke ill of her, saying things such as:
"There's no reason to cultivate a tree in a land like this." and
"You're just a stupid fool that wastes our precious water!"
But still, Rhaplanca continued diligently raising the seed.

And during a certain day...
   From the faraway, faraway distance, a boy came to this land.
   And in this land, the boy met the girl that was struggling so much to cultivate a
   seed, Rhaplanca.
   The boy asked Rhaplanca: "Why do you struggle so much to cultivate that
   seed?"
   Rhaplanca replied to the boy:
   "Because if this became a tree that gave fruits, the people of this land could live
   in abundance,
   If it gave fruits, wouldn't it appease the thirst of the people that live here?"
   The boy then began helping Rhaplanca. And he told her that his name was
   Maoh.
the seed finally sprouted.
Raplanca was overjoyed. "If this sapling becomes bigger..." she thought.
However, it seemed like the sapling now needed even more water than when
it was a seed.
And if the sapling did not have enough water, it would lose its life.

   Maoh then said: "We don't have enough water. We should ask the people to
   give us just a little of water.
   Even if it's just a little, if all the people here gave that little of water, it would be
   enough to cultivate the tree."
   He decided to ask the people to give them just a little of a water.
Everyone that Rhaplanca talked to treated her as a fool.
   But no matter who he asked, they always ended kicking or punching Maoh.
And that was because all of them thought alike...
   They were people to which even just one droplet of water was extremely    
   valuable, while Maoh and Rhaplanca weren't anything but futile dream chasers
   to them.
During one day, they stole the water that she was going to give to the tree.
   They told him: "Why we should give the water we need to drink just for
   something like a tree that'll never grow around here!?"
During other day, they stepped over the sapling of the tree.
   "It's because of that tree that you have these foolish hopes. Because of that,
   you don't have anything to drink..."
Since then, Raplanca always stood beside her tree.
Just to protect the tree, and continue giving it water.
And thus, she continued cultivating the sapling.
   Maoh had his doubts about this occasionally.
   However, he still believed on Rhaplanca, and continued giving his water to the
   tree.

Rhaplanca went everyday to give to it the blessing of the water.
   Maoh then asked Rhaplanca about what they should do to get more water.
   The world simply wasn't kind enough to give them water.
   And to get more water, they tried many things. Such as doing hard works, or
   carrying heavy baggage for the people.
   And in exchange for these, they gave them a little of water.
Sometimes, they even gave their own water to children that were about to
die..
And the only thing they got from their mothers afterwards were just words
of gratitude.
The eyes of Rhaplanca, which at first were the eyes of a dreamer, slowly
became the eyes of someone overcame by despair.
   The eyes of Maoh, which were so filled with hope at first, slowly began losing  
   their vigor.
She was pondering, "I did the right thing with my actions...?"
   "Did I made a mistake when I took this decision...?"
   Still, Maoh was cheered whenever he saw Rhaplanca or her wishes.

And thus, Rhaplanca collapsed.
   During a specially bright day, Rhaplanca, who did not drink anything for three
   days, collapsed.
   Maoh held her in his arms, crying.
Why the people of this world have lost hope to that extent?
   "I want to walk alongside Rhaplanca, forever.
   Even if it's just me, I want to be her friend."
The girl was stricken by the [Despair] of the world.
   Maoh thought about Rhaplanca, and cried.
While she stared dazed at her sapling...
   "Ah, so our feelings only went so far. It never gave any fruit."
   These tears then moistened the sapling, and it got a little more vigorous.


   And at that time, someone began giving water to the sapling.
   And these were the children to which Maoh had given water in the past.
   And from that day on, the children began coming to give water to the tree
   everyday.
   Then, their mothers began coming to give water to the tree. And then, their
   fathers.
   These were the parents for which Rhaplanca and Maoh had carried the
   baggage before, and they came to give water to the tree.
   And then, unknown people began watering it.
   Everyone, even if they only gave water of the size of a teardrop, it was a great
   quantity when all of these droplets moistened the sapling.
   And the tree was being slowly cultivated.
   When it became a great tree, many people began coming to water it.
   And when it finally became big enough to reach the skies, it began bearing
   many great fruits.
   The people were overjoyed, and gave their gratitude to Maoh and Rhaplanca.

   In that land, the rain did not fall.
   It was only a stormy land that continued to exist upon the world.
   However, in that land, there was a great tree.
   Its fruits quenched the thirst of many people, and filled the land with life as the  
   Tree of Life.
   That tree was called "Implanta" by them.
   And the feelings of just one girl reached all the people,
   and all of the people then slowly began helping them to cultivate that tree,
   Implanta.
   This great Tree of Life lived thanks to the feelings of all the people that lived in
   this land.
   Yes, the feelings of all and each one of the people thinking about each other
   were what made their hearts be embraced by hope,
   and also were what cultivated this tree until it reached the skies.

Spoilers end here.

Trivia[]

  • In the lyrics of the Song, there is section in which both Singers say Hymmnos words at the start of a Japanese sentence. These words form the following sentence when joined: "Was yea ra wael (Was yea ra wael)", which means With great happiness.
