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......
