===Original Japanese===
世界の終わりを誰も信じない 
轟く旋律サディスティックなメロディー 
闇が生まれ闇が巣食い闇が征服する 
絶望がはびこる世界を狂気の愛で満たせ 

''Before time began,'' 
''there was the All spark'' 
''Like all great power,'' 
''someone wanted it for good,'' 
''others for evil.'' 
''And so began the war.''

:PRAISE BE TO DECEPTICON
:今こそ蘇れ血塗られた罪と呼ばれた欲望よ
:PRAISE BE TO DECEPTICON
:永遠の命をその手に掴めいま

心の影に誰も気付かない 
心の叫びは誰にも聞こえない 
虚言にまみれ虚言を操り虚言がまかり通る 
偽善者だらけの世の中を腐敗の夢で満たせ

''And the All spark was lost to the far reaches to the space'' 
''Searching for every star, every world,'' 
''Drew us to an unknown planet called…''

:PRAISE BE TO DECEPTICON
:今こそ覚醒を仕組まれた悪にうごめく本能よ
:PRAISE BE TO DECEPTICON
:運命に従い賛美の歌を聴け

''Before time began,'' 
''there was the All spark'' 
''Like all great power,'' 
''someone wanted it for good,'' 
''others for evil.'' 
''And so began the war.''

===English translation===
Nobody believes in the end of the world 
A sadistic melody thunders through the air 
Darkness was born, Darkness haunts, and Darkness rules 
Fill this world rampant with despair with an insane love 

''Before time began,'' 
''there was the All spark'' 
''Like all great power,'' 
''someone wanted it for good,'' 
''others for evil.'' 
''And so began the war.''

:PRAISE BE TO DECEPTICON
:Now is the time to resurrect, a bloody desire called sin
:PRAISE BE TO DECEPTICON
:Grasp eternal life with those hands

Nobody notices the darkness in hearts 
Nobody can hear the screams from the heart 
Covered in lies, controlling lies, and lies are allowed 
Fill this society filled with hypocrites with rotten dreams 

''And the All spark was lost to the far reaches to the space'' 
''Searching for every star, every world,'' 
''Drew us to an unknown planet called…''

:PRAISE BE TO DECEPTICON
:Now is the time for an instinct writhing of evil set up to awaken
:PRAISE BE TO DECEPTICON
:Follow destiny and listen to the songs of praise

''Before time began,'' 
''there was the All spark'' 
''Like all great power,'' 
''someone wanted it for good,'' 
''others for evil.'' 
''And so began the war.''

:PRAISE BE TO DECEPTICON
:Now is the time to resurrect, a bloody desire called sin
:PRAISE BE TO DECEPTICON
:Grasp eternal life with those hands

==Notes==
*The spoken parts of the song (presented here in italics) are paraphrased from [[Transformers (2007)#Quotes|the opening monologue]] from the 2007 live-action movie.
*While the printed lyrics mistake the usual saying of ''"Some wanted it for good, others for evil"'' into ''"someone wanted it for good, others for evil"'', the actual lyrics as sung use the proper term.

We reconstruct our minds

Clench your fists strongly 
Believe in the bonds between us 
And fight!

===Album releases===
This song has yet to be released on any soundtrack albums.

==Notes==
*For some reason, the on-screen subs for the cartoon's opening transliterates all the English words into katakana while the CD's lyric sheet uses a mix of Japanese and English text. Since these are both official media, that's also what we've done here.
*This [[title sequence#Japanese version|title sequence]] uses completely original animation and features no recycled footage from the show.
**To say that this intro has little to do with the actual show would be an understatement. [[Ironhide (Animated)|Some]] [[Arcee (Animated)|characters]] with small roles within the series as a whole get [[To sell toys|lots of exposure]] in the video, while more [[Jazz (Animated)|prominent]] [[Lugnut (Animated)|ones]] are only briefly seen, and [[Sari Sumdac|one]] particularly important character is completely absent. Rather than focusing on [[Detroit]], the intro seems to jump all over the globe, such as [[Ratchet (Animated)|Ratchet]], [[Prowl (Animated)|Prowl]] and [[Bumblebee (Animated)|Bumblebee]] in front of the Flatiron Building in [[New York City]], [[Bulkhead (Animated)|Bulkhead]] on the Great Wall of [[China]], [[Blitzwing (Animated)|Blitzwing]] in [[Egypt]], Ironhide in [[Australia|Sydney]], [[Starscream (Animated)|Starscream]] and [[Bumblebee (Animated)|Bumblebee]] fighting at Paris, [[Lockdown (Animated)|Lockdown]] fighting [[Prowl (Animated)|Prowl]] in Osaka, [[Japan]], [[Lugnut (Animated)|Lugnut]] wrecking havoc at Moscow, and [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]] appearing in [[Washington, D.C.]]
**[[Optimus Prime (Animated)|Optimus Prime]] seems to power up with [[burning justice]], and for some reason, a [[Cloaked mystery villain|strange, evil character]] appears at the beginning the video.
**For those who have not seen the show, the intro spoils a '''lot''' of things, including [[Blackarachnia (Animated)|Blackarachnia]]'s relation to Elita-1, [[Starscream (Animated)|Starscream]]'s embedded [[AllSpark#Animated|AllSpark]] shard, [[Starscream clone (Animated)|his clones]], [[Omega Supreme (Animated)|Omega Supreme]]'s appearance, Blackarachnia's control of the [[Dinobot (Animated)|Dinobots]] and even [[Shockwave (Animated)|Longarm]]'s betrayal, as [[Ratchet (Animated)|Ratchet]] fights him rather than Shockwave.
*During the bridge after the phrase 'Get and Go', a chant going "Defeat Decepticon!" can be heard.
*A second and slightly modified version of the [[title sequence#Animated|title sequence]] debuts in the episode "[[The Return of the Headmaster|Headmaster, Once Again!]]" using the second half of the song.
*In the final episode "[[Endgame, Part II|The Final Decisive Battle! Suppress Megatron]]", the dubbing cast sings over the first version.

'''JAM Project''' ("JAM" meaning Japanese Animationsong Makers) is a Japanese supergroup composed of numerous singers who found their niche in performing anime theme songs. The group was founded in 2000 to counter the growing presence of random J-Pop themes being used for anime music. Since its formation, the group has performed the themes for countless animes, video games (including the majority of theme songs from the ''Super Robot Wars'' franchise) and even wrestling events. The current lineup consists of [[Hironobu Kageyama]], [[Hiroshi Kitadani]], Masaaki Endoh, Masami Okui and Yoshiki Fukuyama. [[Ichirō Mizuki]] founded the band, but left the group in 2002 and is only considered a "part-timer". Ricardo Cruz, a Brazilian vocalist, is also a part-time member and acts as the band's translator during tours in Latin America.

Their music is filled with [[Burning Justice]], including "[[Transformers Evo.|TRANSFORMERS EVO.]]", the opening song for the Japanese dub of [[Transformers Animated (cartoon)|''Transformers Animated'']].

==Notes==
*It is unknown if [[Hot Shot (Armada)|Hot Shot]] listens to them.
