EXEC_Z/.
A Song heard during Phase 4 of Ar tonelico Qoga: Knell of Ar Ciel.
This Song is the culmination of the Human Evolution Project, and it serves to finally carry it out. It was created as the second step proper in the project under the name of Project Z,[1] and generally speaking, it's a multi-process Hymn that executes the following functions:
1) Make a list of all the Soulspace Address that currently have an owner, regardless of being alive or dead.
2) Link human natures to all of them.
3) Sever the link between the body and the SH Server that most of the Reyvateils have, instantly killing them.
4) Maximize the output of the XP Shell's antenna, and link the unawakened Reyvateil genes of the humans to all the Soulspace Address that were stripped away from the Reyvateils.
5) Establish a link to the Cosmography of Ar Ru that was stored in Tyria's SH Server.
6) From Ar Ru's Cosmography, copy the physical composition part (the one that rules the composition and creation of physical bodies) over to the SH Server.
7) Force the humans to awaken, transforming them into Reyvaroids.[2]
However, EXEC_Z/. operates by executing all of those processes upon the conclusion of the song like all other normal Hymmnos Extracts do. In comparison, the much more complex EXEC_with.METHOD_METAFALICA/. executes its multiple processes through an execution style called the Divided-Type Processing, in which the processes are executed sequentially during the singing, with confirmation being performed immediately after each process has been completed. This is because Metafalica makes use of Infel Phira, and Divided-Type Processing is the specialty of the Hymmnos dialect it uses, the New Testament of Pastalie, while the Hymmnos dialects grouped under the umbrella of Standard Hymmnos can't divide the execution of their processes to such a detailed level.
Additionally, this Song must be Sung by a Reyvateil who has her Cosmosphere residing within Harvestasha's β-6D Server, as if the singer has her Cosmosphere residing within Tyria's Binary Field, EXEC_Z/. won't have any effects.[1]
Richaryosha was forced to Sing this song by Raphael in exchange for being allowed to live. While this Song serves as an ark of sorts for humanity, Richa didn't feel any of these feelings and instead she was filled with sadness, fear and despair. It should also be said that this Song feels different from all the other Hymmnos in the series when it comes to sound and overall tone because it doesn't reflect the feelings of a Reyvateil, and instead reflects the darker feelings of the humans.[3]
Fortunately, this Song was never Sung to the end because Aoto and his friends interrupted it after a grueling battle against Richa and the Guardians that Raphael sent.

Lyrics
Rrha ki gagis exec gyen hymmnos Z.
Rrha ki gagis exec gyen hymmnos Z.
I'll craft and execute the Hymmnos EXEC_Z/.
Rrha quel ra clemezen en manafeeze... Ha---!
Rrha quel ra clemezen en manafeeze... Ha---!
Because I wish to live and so I don't lose my place in the world, I'll fall into madness... Ha-!
起動 (はじ) まる ここから
帰らない もう戻らない 旅路を
全てに背を向け ひたすら 実行 (すすん) で行く
hajimaru koko kara
kaeranai mou modoranai tabiji o
subete ni se o muke hitasura susunde iku
The activation (beginning) begins now,
Turning my back on everything, I'll just go (execute),
on a journey from which I can never return or go back.
Rrha ki gagis exec gyen hymmnos Z.
Rrha ki gagis exec gyen hymmnos Z.
I'll craft and execute the Hymmnos EXEC_Z/.
Rrha quel ra clemezen en manafeeze...
Rrha quel ra clemezen en manafeeze...
Because I wish to live and so I don't lose my place in the world, I'll fall into madness...
全てが"嘘"の様 絡まるその場所で
《心の動きが高まる》 それだけが
この胸 癒していた...
subete ga "uso" no you karamaru sono basho de
<kokoro no ugoki ga takamaru> sore dake ga
kono mune iyashiteita...
In that place where everything seemed to be a mix of "lies"
Only the accelerating heartbeats
ever healed my heart...
宿命の羽だけ纏い
昨日悩んでいた私を超えて行く
shukumei no hane dake matoi
kinou nayandeita watashi o koeteiku
Covering myself in just the wings of fate,
I'll fly over the me who worried about the yesterday.
舞い降りた《真実》は 強いられた革命に
背中押され闇の中へと
...はら
...はら
消えた
世界がこんな風に 原色だと
忘れていたの
しばらく添った夢の近くは眩しすぎた
もう迷わないから...
maiorita <shinjitsu> wa shiirareta kakumei ni
senaka osare yami no naka e to
...hara
...hara
kieta
sekai ga konna fuu ni genshoku da to
wasureteita no
shibaraku sotta yume no chikaku wa mabushisugita
mou mayowanai kara...
The descended <truth> has forced me into a revolution,
and pushes me from behind into the darkness.
...my feelings
...my feelings
are gone.
Have you forgotten that the world's true colors
were like this?
I was dazzled from being so close to that dream for such a short time.
I won't hesitate anymore, so...
Rrha ki gagis exec gyen hymmnos Z.
Rrha ki gagis exec gyen hymmnos Z.
I'll craft and execute the Hymmnos EXEC_Z/.
Rrha quel ra clemezen en manafeeze...
Rrha quel ra clemezen en manafeeze...
Because I wish to live and so I don't lose my place in the world, I'll fall into madness...
起動 (はじ) まる これから
帰らない もう戻らない 旅路を
心の動きが消え去る さようなら ヒトリきり...
hajimaru kore kara
kaeranai mou modoranai tabiji o
kokoro no ugoki ga kiesaru sayounara HITORIkiri...
The activation (beginning) begins now,
My heartbeats fade away in
this journey from which I can never return or go back. Goodbye, loneliness...
運命の香りを嗅いで
少し血迷っていただけの 思い出
unmei no kaori o kaide
sukoshi chimayotteita dake no omoide
Smelling the aroma of fate,
I only have a few memories of falling into madness.
本当の現実は 最初から変わらずに
越えられない壁として ただ
存在していた
視界があんなふうに幻想など
観ないでいたら
剥がれた時 生じる傷は カケラだった
もう迷えないから...
hontou no genjitsu wa saisho kara kawarazu ni
koerarenai kabe toshite tada
sonzaishiteita
shikai ga anna fuu ni gensou nado
minaide itara
hagareta toki shoujiru kizu wa KAKERA datta
mou mayoenai kara....
The real truth has been unchangeable from the start,
like an impassable wall, it just
has continued existing
I wish I never had seen illusions or similar things coming
into my field of vision like that
Because they only were fragments that produced wounds once they vanished
I won't hesitate anymore, so...

Feelings Contained in This Song
The city was controlled by a powerful authority
Those in positions of power saw the people only as trash, and repeated their daily cruel acts of massacre.
There were people who stood up against that.
They were a revolutionary group called "Z".
All of those in Z had their family members killed by those in power.
However, there were a few special cases.
One of them was a girl called Kanon, whose lover was killed by the authorities.
However, she was one of the high-ranking officials who once ruled the city with the authorities.
Of course, she couldn't possibly reveal that fact about herself, so Kanon kept silent.
On a certain day, Z invaded the stronghold of the authorities, and searched for a way to capture it.
And they found something terrible.
Medicine designed to strengthen bodies.
Z thought that the authorities wanted to use this medicine to further their oppression of the people.
They stole the medicine and brought it back.
The next day, pretty much everyone in Z headed towards the fortress.
On that day, Kanon arrived at Z's base a bit late, and heard
That they were going to strengthen their bodies with the medicine that the authorities have come up with, and strike back at them.
Kanon's face paled, and she hurried to the fortress.
However, she was too late, and all members of Z turned into monsters.
Kanon stepped into the scene.
One monster appeared there.
He seemed very happy.
No, not only him - all members seemed very happy.
And they went to capture the fortress in high spirits.
Later, the fortress was silent, and the people were freed from the reign of terror.
The Z monsters that defeated the authorities slowly had their identity eroded bit by bit, and began to attack humans.
The people then had no choice but to defeat them with respect.
All of the soldiers that took them down said that the Z heroes wore happy expressions even before their death.
A face that told of fulfilled vows and satisfied hearts.
