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(うそ)にまみれ 虚言(うそ)を操り 虚言(うそ)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 speak 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. 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

Notes

• This song could be seen as the spiritual successor to "Destron Sanka" ("Destron Song of Praise") from waaaaaaay back in the 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.
