At about the 7:00 mark this song gets insanely beautiful. The first seven minutes is all about creating a mysterious atmosphere for song to evolve through. I love how eclectic Geinoh Yamashirogumi's music is. It's experimental, but never boring.
The track is divided into three sections. The polyphony, the pledge and suisei. I could only find the Pledge lyrics and translated with google (not the best i know) but for the sake of archiving it here it is and please, if someone has suisei pleaseee post it. Gaia, old mother, Through the universe, we have only now come to know your greatness, You have given birth to all our lives, You have gently raised us for 3.5 billion years, old mother Gaia. Gaia, old mother, Now, we know your existence as an old man along with all life. Gaia, mother earth. From now on, it is our turn to nourish you, Live well, Our cosmos, (x2) Towards our new future. *Romaji* Gaia yo, toshioita hahayo uchū o kaishite, ima wa hajimete, watashitachi wa anata no idai-sa o shitta anata wa, watashitachi subete no seimei o umi san jū go oku-nen mo watashitachi o yasashiku sodatete kureta toshioita hahayo, Gaia yo Gaia yo, toshioita hahayo ima, watashitachi wa (?) subete no seimei to tomoni toshioita anata no sonzai o shitta Gaia yo, hahanaru chikyū yo korekara wa, watashitachi ga anata o yashinau banda sukoyaka ni ikite kure watashitachi no kosumosu (x2) watashitachi no atarashī mirainimukatte *Original* ガイアよ、年老いた母よ 宇宙を介して、今は初めて、私たちはあなたの偉大さを知った あなたは、私たちすべての生命をうみ 三十五億年も私たちをやさしく育ててくれた、年老いた母よ、ガイアよ ガイアよ、年老いた母よ 今、私たちはすべての生命とともに年老いたあなたの存在を知った ガイアよ、母なる地球よ これからは、私たちがあなたを養う番だ 健やかに生きてくれ 私たちのコスモス (x2) 私たちの新しい未来に向かって I got it from this reviewer who posted the lyrics of the other tracks too music.douban.com/review/9127616/
He's from America. He's named after a character from Appleseed, or from a Buddhist temple meaning Mother Earth, depending on which you prefer. So the word has religious meaning which is probably why it's the name of this piece.

Gaia, old mother,
Through the universe, we have only now come to know your greatness,
You have given birth to all our lives,
You have gently raised us for 3.5 billion years, old mother Gaia.
Gaia, old mother,
Now, we know your existence as an old man along with all life.
Gaia, mother earth.
From now on, it is our turn to nourish you,
Live well,
Our cosmos, (x2)
Towards our new future.

ガイアよ、年老いた母よ
宇宙を介して、今は初めて、私たちはあなたの偉大さを知った
あなたは、私たちすべての生命をうみ
三十五億年も私たちをやさしく育ててくれた、年老いた母よ、ガイアよ
ガイアよ、年老いた母よ
今、私たちはすべての生命とともに年老いたあなたの存在を知った
ガイアよ、母なる地球よ
これからは、私たちがあなたを養う番だ
健やかに生きてくれ
私たちのコスモス (x2)
私たちの新しい未来に向かって

good to know that people are still listening to this.
At the very beginning it is the same sound as in "dolls polyphony"
it is similar
This is so gorgeous...
Amazing song
