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

Listen to my HYPER-BEAT in 1998
強いー筋の光線が
闇を裂いて  誘うままに走った  Be Rock U

    この魂を 解き放った ・・・・・・

    自由なのか? 孤独なのか?

Yes! I can get the HYPER-BEAT in 2003
強いー筋の光線が
今  新たな  進化型を導き出している ・・・・・・

Romaji

Listen to my HYPER-BEAT in 1998

shougeki no nami ga oshiyose
nemuru kodou yobisamashita
modorenai Be Rock U

Listen to my HYPER-BEAT in 1998
tsuyoii suji no hikari ga
yami wo saite izanau mama ni hashitta Be Rock U

    kono kokoro wo tokihanatta......

    jiyuuna no ka? kodokuna no ka?

Yes! I can get the HYPER-BEAT in 2003
tsuyoii suji no hikari ga
ima aratana shinkakei wo michibikidashite iru......
