Lilium is the title of a song sung by Kumiko Noma for the intro and throughout the anime Elfen Lied. It's an exceptionally good song and a remake of an original version which is awful.

It's also a Lily...

I've never seen 'Elfen Lied' before (though I want to-what could be better than cute girls dismembering people?), but I love the song Lilium! It's so pretty, and the singer is really good. Also, the opening animation, based on the paintings of Gustav Klimt, is really unique and a little trippy:)

When I heard this song in a preview I watched for Elfen Lied, I was totally frozen. This song definetly is a good choice for the show, and for some reason made me think of Japan.

Great song. I listen to it all the time. It's Latin, I think, but I heard the original version was in German (this thread doesn't really concern the original version tho).
