Album Notes[edit]
- Album notes written by Yasunori Mitsuda. No official translation exists.
この曲が流れ始めると、いよいよ重大なイベントが起こる 前触れって感じで、 精神的によろしくない曲ですね。 (笑) でも最初に作ったバージョンはこんなに神秘的では なく、ただただ怖いって感じだったので、それを考え るとだいぶ精神的な負担は少なくなったのかな~と 思います。

Trivia[edit]
- The first four notes of Song of Nephilim are almost identical to the first four notes of the Dies Irae, a Gregorian chant often used as a motif in classical and modern music signifying death. (The Xenosaga II and Xenosaga III versions of this track are even more similar to the chant, with the first four notes being identical to those of the Dies Irae and an added phrase that matches the second phrase of the chant.)
