Story
Creation
Miltian Conflict
Episode I
Margulis and Pellegri speak to each other about the possibility of using the Song of Nephilim and it appears later in the game, attracting a large amount of Gnosis to the Kukai Foundation. When Albedo kidnaps MOMO he brings her here. While it is initially invisible, KOS-MOS fires a phase transfer cannon at it that enables everyone to see it. The Elsa heads close in order for the party to rescue MOMO. When it flies over the top, Shion recognizes having seen it when she was a child in Old Miltia. The party heads through the Song of Nephilim, eventually confronting Albedo and recovering MOMO. Albedo escapes and the party fights the Blue Testament, then depart themselves as it stops functioning. The Kukai Foundation attempts to destroy it, but the lasers just reflect off of it. The Song of Nephilim starts absorbing the nearby Gnosis and it descends into the recently revealed Proto Merkabah.

Database
Episode I
Song of Nephilim System
One of several giant machines created by Joachim Mizrahi.
It emits a song-like frequency that only certain individuals can hear, but the actual purpose of this device is yet unknown.
It does, however, curiously reappear throughout the story, be it in the meaning behind the word "madness" uttered by Jr. and Margulis, or the appearance of a girl with the same name. The fact that Shion saw this device on Miltia as a little girl, only furthers the mystery.
Episode III
Song of Nephilim
One of the devices made to control the Zohar.
One of the devices made by the late Joachim Mizrahi to control the Zohar. It is
shaped like a giant inverted pyramid.
It was once stored within Labyrinthos, headquarters of the U-TIC Organization.
Shion saw its shape from her mother's hospital room.
As the name implies, the Song of Nephilim plays a song (a wavelength) which
cannot be heard by normal human ears. The song is said to attract the Gnosis.
The Song of Nephilim are the words of God that were recorded in the Y-Data--one
of the relics. A man named Grimoire Verum analyzed these words to create the
program known as Lemegeton.
Joachim reconstructed fragmented version of this program as part of the U-DO
system. The wavelength it emitted included the word "Nephilim" in its
human-audible range, so he named the system the Song of Nephilim.
The Song of Nephilim was used in the Miltian Conflict 15 years ago; however, as
it had not been tuned by Joachim, its power was insufficient to bring the Zohar
into operation.
The Song itself does not have the power to summon the Gnosis. The Gnosis appear simply because a door has been opened onto imaginary space as the result of U-DO activating in response to the people who have made fragmentary contact with it through the Song. In fact, the Gnosis that appeared around Miltia were actually caused by a fearful and isolated young Shion linking with U-DO and bringing the Zohar into operation.

14年前のミルチア紛争でも使用され、人間の精神にも異常を及ぼし、かつ、グノーシスも呼び寄せたとされるが、詳細は不明。
ネピリムの歌声 その3
14年前に、セラーズの指示でキルシュヴァッサーがミルチアから離昇させ、軌道上の天の車と合体した。
その後、公にはアビスに封じられたとされていたが、オルムスの画策により隠匿されていた。
