===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

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

==Notes==

* This song could be seen as the spiritual successor to "[[Destron Sanka]]" ("Destron Song of Praise") from waaaaaaay back in the [[The Headmasters (cartoon)|Headmasters]] anime in 1987. Wow. The 'cons have really gotten a lot of mileage out of that first theme song.

* Fittingly enough, the "Destron Song of Praise" was also written by [[Hironobu Kageyama]], who is the leader and main lyricist for JAM Project.

* Also fittingly enough, "PRAISE BE TO DECEPTICON" can be best described as death metal.

* 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 within the song use the proper term.
