...otherwise known as Misha's version of Purger. It sounds intense and rather eerie, but then, it's supposed to. Think exorcism, but with a more Shinto flavor. And while I'm no expert on Shinto ritual, I suspect that the lyrics also reflect the mood and intent of such events.
When compared to Aurica's version, this song also demonstrates that a hymmne crystal (not "hymn crystal", as "hymmne" is a Hymmnos word and should be left unmodified) isn't so much a recording of a song as an impression of the associated emotion. Aurica and Misha both download from the same crystal, and while their songs have certain similarities, they're clearly far from identical. Both make great background music for a fight, though.
Misha's Purger has a more archaic feel to the lyrics than Aurica's. I've tried to reflect this in the English.

About 29 seconds of intro. There's definitely Hymmnos in this opening, and a few other places, and plenty of it, but the lyrics aren't recorded. While I have found a Japanese site with several theories on what the words are (also a helpful reference for deciphering the archaic Japanese in this song), none of them quite agree. But why couldn't the Hymmnos lyrics have been published with everything else...? |

Sometimes translated as "shrine maiden", a miko has duties that typically include assisting in religious rituals and performing cerimonial dance. |

The following stanza is sung slowly while the "天清浄 地清浄..." stanza from above is also sung. |

| 尽き世の哀れを 詩に宿すが 我が定め |
Tsuki yo no aware wo Uta ni yadosu ga Waga sadame |
The sorrows of a dead world, Infusing them into verse, It is my fate. |
When used in-game, the song now loops back to about 00:15 and repeats. |
