Lyrics

Japanese

Listen to my HYPER-BEAT in 1998

衝撃の波が押し寄せ
眠る鼓動 呼び覚ました
戻れない Be Rock U (Go Go Go Come on!)
1998
(Go Go)

Listen to my HYPER-BEAT in 1998

強い一筋の光線(ひかり)が
闇を裂いて 誘うままに走った Be Rock U
1998
(Go Go Go Go Go Go Go Go Go Go Go Come on!)


 この魂(こころ)を 解き放った……
 自由なのか? 孤独なのか?

Yes! I can get the HYPER-BEAT in 2003

強い一筋の光線(ひかり)が
今 新たな 進化型を導き出している……
