=== Japanese ===
<pre>待ったなしのスピードで  やってくる時間に
本当のことを託したら  気づけば後に引けない
ひょっとしたらこれ以上  入り込んでしまう?
まっさらな紙の上で  物語が動き出す
積み重ねた砂の城  何度も壊されて  やっと悟る
心ごと海に溶けて  泡になる
 
それは青く青く  ただよう陽炎
揺れる  揺れる  幻のよう
巡り巡る神秘の扉を  開いたその先へ...
 
それは青く青く  ただよう陽炎
揺れる  揺れる  幻のよう
巡り巡る神秘の扉を  開いて見つけた
 
それを辿る辿る  真理の迷路
揺らぐ  揺らぐ  命の模様
めくりめくる  ページの最後に  刻んで残した
 
それは続く続く  まばゆい継承
宿る  宿る  魂、鼓動
光り光る未来の歴史へ伝える
5つのNeed for the ÆTHER</pre>
 
=== Romaji ===
<pre>matta nashi no SPEED de yattekuru jikan ni

hyottoshitara kore ijou hairikon de shimau?
massarana kami no ue de monogatari ga ugokidasu
