Vise Versa
the song of gods
The song
Vise Versa is an ancient lore of the Shrine Maiden. The song describes the way to Eden and every maiden instinctively knows the song and dance that opens the gate to heaven. Initium. Finis.
Even though the song is sung in an unknown language, in the anime the lyrics are translated like this:
Atop the lattice stage, dance, oh shrine maiden.
Far across the waves, the maid slumbers.
What came before is southern snow, in the hour of cold flame.
Dark blue water, white storm clouds.
The journey to the end, the stone that shows the way.
What lies ahead is the sun setting in the east.
Now is the time to run, beyond the ark.
As the song's name suggests, you have to look backwards at the lyrics to decipher the road to Eden.
