Virtual Star Embryology
Translation from Nozomi
        DVD Release (2011)
Ancient times. Perfection. Isolation in the desert.
Atmosphere. Atom. Causality star.
Yes, a child of earth is
conceived.
The embryo of philosophy.
Egg. Perfection. The origin in the nest.
Stamen. Pistil. A single seed.
Yes, a child of earth
grows.
The child of philosophy.
And then
lunar heaven! Mercurian heaven. Venusian heaven.
Solar heaven. Martian heaven. Jovian heaven.
Saturnian heaven. Stellar heaven. Motive heaven.
And then... The endless surface of the torus.
A single organic mechanism.
A single perpetual motion machine.
Ah, it is empty movement.
Just empty movement. Empty...
(Last four stanzas repeated for full length
ending theme version.)

Virtual Star Embryology
Translation by allegoriest
 
Antiquity, completion, solitude in the desert
air, atoms, planet of causation
Yes, the child of this land is
conceived
The foetus of philosophy
Egg, completion, origin in the nest
Stamen, pistil, a small seed
Yes, the child of this land
grows
The children of philosophy
And 
Sphere of the Moon, Sphere of Mercury, Sphere of Venus
Sphere of the Sun, Sphere of Mars, Sphere of Jupiter
Sphere of Saturn, Sphere of Fixed Stars, Sphere of Primum Mobile
And further, an endless infinite torus
One organic mechanism
One perpetual motion machine
Ah, it’s empty movement
That’s an empty movement
And
Sphere of the Moon, Sphere of Mercury, Sphere of Venus
Sphere of the Sun, Sphere of Mars, Sphere of Jupiter
Sphere of Saturn, Sphere of Fixed Stars, Sphere of Primum Mobile
And further, an endless infinite torus
One organic mechanism
One perpetual motion machine
Ah, it’s empty movement
That’s an empty movement, it is

Antiquity, perfection, alone in the desert
Atmosphere, atom, a star of causality
Yes, the child of earth
Is conceived
The embryo of philosophy
Egg, perfection, an origin in a nest
Stamen, pistil, a single seed
Yes, the child of earth
Grows up
The child of philosophy
And then
The sphere of the moon, the sphere of Mercury, the sphere of Venus
The sphere of the sun, the sphere of Mars, the sphere of Jupiter
The sphere of Saturn, the sphere of fixed stars, the sphere of mobile stars
The torus continues into eternity, endlessly
A single organic engine
A single perpetual motion device
Ah, it is empty motion
Yes, it is empty motion
And then
The sphere of the moon, the sphere of Mercury, the sphere of Venus
The sphere of the sun, the sphere of Mars, the sphere of Jupiter
The sphere of Saturn, the sphere of fixed stars, the sphere of mobile stars
The torus continues into eternity, endlessly
A single organic engine
A single perpetual motion device
Ah, it is empty motion
Yes, it is empty motion, motion

Translation Notes From allegoriest:

air, atoms, planet of causation
Causation is the law of cause and effect. I think both sound stupid, but hey.

And further, an endless infinite torus
A torus is a fancy mathematical doughnut. I will sit here for hours looking up what some ancient god of toothpicks was to tell you about it but fuck if I care about mathematical doughnuts.

Sphere of the Moon, Sphere of Mercury, Sphere of Venus, etc
The different spheres of heaven in the chorus are the celestial spheres of heaven in Dante’s Paradise. The last is the Empyrean where God lives, but that doesn’t happen here. Unless it’s in the fancy mathematical doughnut. Which as previously stated, I don’t care about. They literally say like, Lunar Heaven, but it is very clearly supposed to be Paradiso, it’s in the same order and written the way Japan chose to translate it.

Ah, it’s empty movement
Empty Movement could be plenty of things. Hollow motion, lost movement. This is like the Unconditional Fate Revelation, I’m not fighting this and I won’t be burnt at the stake today. Tomorrow, maybe. But not today.
