BURN IT UP!
TAKE YOUR SOUL!
MAJIN GO!
終焉の審判はくだされた
暗黒の軍団が押し寄せる
空を覆う炎 紅く紅く燃えるBurning!
一筋の雷光に照らされて
鋼鉄の番人がそびえ立つ
God's on the ground! 奇跡を身にまとい
今世界は 闇に抱かれ
その「力」を 待ち続ける
おまえとなら感じてKnight
おまえならばできるRock me
BURN IT UP!
TAKE YOUR SOUL!
MAJIN GO!
運命(さだめ)から逃げ出せる術は無い
悲しみを振り切って 突き進め
燃えたぎる怒りに 熱く熱く吠えろ Saver!
襲い来る暗雲を切り裂いて
渾身の一撃で打ち砕け
Now, Break the wall! 未来を解き放て!
人は誰も 愛を求め
その「光」を 追い続ける
おまえとなら感じてKnight
おまえならばできるRock me
おまえだけが最強のKnight
おまえならばできるRock me
おまえとなら感じてKnight
おまえならばできるRock me
おまえだけが最強のKnight
おまえならばできるRock me

The final judgment has been passed
Darkness’ army surges forward
The flame covering the sky burns red, red, burning!
Illuminated by a single flash of lightning
Metal guards loom
God’s on the ground. Embodying miracles
Now the world is wrapped in darkness
Waiting for that “power”
If it’s with you, feel it, Knight
If it’s you it’s possible, rock me
There’s no art of escaping from destiny
Shake off your sorrow and push forward
Howl passionately with burning anger, saver (savior?)!
Cleave the onslaught of dark clouds
Shatter them with a powerful hit
Now, break the wall! Release the future!
Every person seeks love
Chasing that “light”
If it’s with you, feel it, Knight
If it’s you it’s possible, rock me
If it’s with you, feel it, Knight
If it’s you it’s possible, rock me
If it’s with you, feel it, Knight
If it’s you it’s possible, rock me
If it’s with you, feel it, Knight
If it’s you it’s possible, rock me
