We speak to you as representatives of the great many who died meaningless deaths
because of their own folly.
You are living in the long period of purification.
But the day shall come when the sea of corruption ceases to be, and a green, pure land is reborn.
The great suffering of the purification is our atonement.
That glorious morning of the day of reconstructions shall surely come.
Children, we gathered all human wisdom and built this crypt in an age of despair and bewilderment
that we might lend a hand in the rebuilding of the world when that morning comes.
Read the words that appear on our body, and pass on the technology you find there.
When the text at long last appears in its entirety, then that day shall come...
...the day the suffering ends.
Children, give us your help, that this light should not go out.
[Nausicaa]
Nay!
You are nothing but shadows!
Why do you not speak the truth!?
The truth about your plan to completely replace the polluted land and all living things!?
Are those shadows we saw the men and women who created the sea of corruption
in order to slowly destroy the old world!?
Do you intend to go on deceiving us until the very day you plan to destroy us!?
Why!? Because no matter how much knowledge and technology you have,
you will still need slaves to do the work for you on the morning you replace the world!?
Our bodies may have been artificially transformed,
but our lives will always be own! Life survives by the power of life.
If such a morning is to come, then we shall live to face that morning!
We are birds who, though we may spit up blood, will go on flying beyond that morning, on and on!!
To live is to change. The ohmu, the mold, the grasses and trees, we human beings...
we will all go on changing, and the sea of corruption will live on with us.
But you cannot change. You have only the plan that was built into you. Because you deny death.
Speak the truth! We have no need for you!
