這等於是《Air/まごこる、君に》的劇終主題曲，表達綾波面對自己與真嗣不同的事實，為了將存在於否的抉擇交予真嗣，自身化為莉莉絲。她將未來賜予真嗣時，婉轉悲愁的纏綿之意，蘊含餘音繞樑三日不絕的感情。 一張CD（《THE END OF EVANGELION》）、一張單曲（《THE END OF EVANGELION》）收錄此曲。
原文： Now it's time, I fear to tell. I've been holding it back so long. But something strange deep inside of me is happening. I feel unlike. I've ever felt. And it's makin' me scared. That I may not be what I ( think I am ).
What of us, what do I say. Are we both from a different world. Cause every breath that I take, I breathe it for you. I couldn't face my life without you. And I'm so afraid. There's nothing to comfort us. What am I, if I can't be yours.
I don't sleep, don't feel a thing. And my senses have all but gone. Can't even cry from the pain, can't shed a tear now. I realise. We're not the same. and it's makin' me sad. Cos we can't fulfil our dream ( in this life ).
So I must, let us break free. I can never be what you need. If there was a way, through the hurt. Then I would find it. I'd take the blows. Yes I would fight it. But this is the one. Impossible dream to live. What am I, if I can't be yours.

來吧，甜美的死亡
Komm, süsser Tod
編曲：SHIRO SAGUISU Arranged by : Shiro Saguisu 作詞：庵野秀明（日文）、MIKE WYZGOWSKI（英譯） Songwriter : Mike Wyzgowski ( English ) 作曲：SHIRO SAGUISU Composed by : Shiro Saguisu 主唱：ARIANNE Vocal : Arianne
德文標題，意為“來吧，甜美的死亡”。歌詞原以日文寫出，再譯為英文唱出。這一首歌是配《Air/まごこる、君に》中的第三次衝擊那一段。英文歌詞比較隱晦，日文歌詞則明白顯示這首歌是唱出真嗣的心境：不願再與人心接觸、不願再喜歡任何人、不願再傷害任何人、希望回歸無有…….。因此第三次衝擊發生了，所有的心之壁潰決，不必再去提防任何人、不會再傷害到任何人，不再有生老病死，也沒有時間空間了……。不過後段插入的搖滾現場演唱會般的音效，大大沖淡了應有的悲苦氣氛。收錄的CD和《THANATOS －IF I CAN'T BE YOURS－》相同。 此歌名來自巴赫的一首聲樂作品：Komm, suesser Tod, komm, sel'ge Ruh! BWV.478，不過一般簡稱為“Komm, suesser Tod”。這首“Komm, suesser Tod”曾被斯托科夫斯基改編管弦樂。
原文： I know, I know I've let you down. I've been a fool to myself. I thought that I could live for no one else. But now through all the hurt and pain. It's time for me to respect the ones you love mean more than anything. So with sadness in my heart. ( I ) feel the best thing I could do is end it all and leave forever. what's done is done it feels so bad. what once was happy now is sad. I'll never love again my world is ending.
I wish that I could turn back time cos now the guilt is all mine can't live without the trust from those you love. I know we can't forget the past you can't forget love and pride because of that, it's kill in me inside.
It all returns to nothing, it all comes tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling down. It all returns to nothing, I just keep letting me donw, letting me down, letting me down. In my heart of hearts I know that I called never love again. I've lost everything everything everything that matters to me, matters in this world.
I wish that I could turn back time cos now the guilt is all mine can't live without the trust from those you love. I know we can't forget the past you can't forget love and pride because of that, it's kill in me inside.
It all returns to nothing, it just keeps tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling down. It all returns to nothing, I just keeps letting me down, letting me down, letting me down. It all returns to nothing, it just keeps tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling down. It all returns to nothing, I just keep letting me down, letting me down, letting me down. Ah……Ah……Ah……Ah…… tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling down. Ah……Ah……Ah……Ah…… letting me down, letting me down, letting me down. Ah……Ah……Ah……Ah…… tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling down. Ah……Ah……Ah……Ah…… letting me down, letting me down, letting me down. ……
庵野對這首片尾曲情有獨鐘，共有19種版本，包括無人聲版。電視版的片尾曲並不都是用同一版本的，先後共有高橋洋子、CLAIRE、Rei、Aya Bossa Techno、Aki Jungle主唱版和無人聲版。綾波麗的“月”之形象，也有部分是由此曲而來的吧！ 這首歌原本叫作《In other words》，是首華爾茲舞曲，1954年Bart Howard作，1962年由Joe Hannel改編而大受歡迎，Patty Page的演唱將此曲的名氣大大的提升至經典之作的境界。
原文： Fly me to the moon, and let me play among the stars. Let me see what spring is like on Jupiter and Mars. In other words, hold my hand! In other words, darling kiss me!
Fill my heart with song, and let me sing forever more. You are all I long for all I worship and adore. In other words, please be true! In other words, I love you!

原文： You were my fantasy. And now you’re reality. You found a way into my life from my dreams. You’re givin’ me everything. I never thought love could bring. You found a way into my heart from my dreams. Before I met you I’d always get by. I never doubted, I was strong insid. I was has happy in my life. Everything was going as I had planned. I always felt I had the upper hand. And I could handle anything.
原文： I never gave a thought to the possibility. That there was something missing. So hung up on make in me priority. I only had to listen to my imaginntion. I wake up in the morning feeling fine. Now you’re the first thing that is on my hand. I feel a change in me. Emotions that I never knew I had. Are pouring out of me ‘cos I’m so glad. Of what you mean to me.

原文： I am just about to forget you Once there was summer of color crimson lake All it took to confess was a word All it took to express is a kiss
When love is young between us I wasn’t too pride to wait for carrousels You whisopered you would make me a day Like no day had been in my life
You let me feel I was turned on You had me feel I was only one You made me feel I was loved by the whole world
I never said I was in love You never held me in your arms Never made love, we never dared to
I am just about to forget you Once there was winter of color horizon blue All I saw, our shawows on the path
I love you so, still I know I do I trust you so, yet I know I do I want you so, true like ice, true like fire
To keep my mind sharp and bright To keep my heart cold and tight To keep my love alone and free I shall leave
譯文： 我打算忘記你 曾經有一個充滿色彩的夏日 它要表達的是一個詞 它要表達的是一個吻
當我們的愛還年輕時 我並不太驕傲要等待空想 你說你會給我一天 在我一生中從沒有過的一天
你讓我覺得我很好 你讓我覺得我只有一個人 你讓我覺得我被整個世界的人愛著
我從不說我墮入愛 你從來就沒有抱我在懷中 從未作愛，我們絕對不敢
我打算忘記你 曾經有一個藍色的冬天 我所知道的是，你在我旁邊 我所見到的是，小路上我們的影子
我如此愛你，我知道我是的 我如此信任你，我知道我是的 我希望你也這樣，信任如冰如火
為了保持聰明與靈活 為了保持心的冷與緊 為了使我的愛孤獨與自由 我要離去
成名單曲
主題歌暨片首曲《殘酷的天使計畫》（The Theses of Cruel Angels/殘酷な天使のテ－ゼ）與片尾曲《帶我飛向月球》（FLY ME TO THE MOON）的單曲CD共三枚，另一張CD名字也是《FLY ME TO THE MOON》，收錄了由各位女性配音演唱及各種不同音樂表現方式的片尾曲。
為什麼用《FLY ME TO THE MOON》當作片尾曲？只因為庵野監督的一句話：“《新世紀福音戰士》的片尾曲想用《FLY ME TO THE MOON》這首歌。”於是一行人遠渡重洋，千里迢迢地跑到倫敦，請到了Claire Littley小姐來唱這首歌（Claire小姐出生於倫敦，為英法混血兒）。這三枚單曲CD在96年售出了大約100萬枚，再加上其它的一些樂曲CD，總數在200萬以上。這個成績打破了17年來由《銀河鐵道999》所保持的紀錄。
