目を醒ませ

僕らの世界が何者かに侵略されてるぞ

作り物のようなこの日々に

僕らのS.O.Sが加速する

何かが違うと知りながら

見慣れた空　同じ景色に今日が流れてく

あの日の誓いってなんだっけ

教室で何を語ってたっけ

このままじゃ約束まで消えてしまう

目を醒ませ

僕らの世界が何者かに侵略されてるぞ

これは訓練でも　リハーサルでもない

覆われた日常というべールを　勢いよく剥がしたら

戦いの鐘が鳴る

それじゃとりあえず同盟を結ぼうか

―　君を“退屈”から救いに来たんだ！

ニセモノみたいな思い出に

「昔は良かった」って指を差す

虚しいだけと知りながら

悟ったフリ　見て見ぬフリで傷を隠してく

ヒーローになれやしないんだって

主人公は誰かやるでしょって

知らぬ間に諦めたりしないでよ

目の前の僕らの世界は何ものにも代えられない世界

それは子供も大人も関係ない

繰り返す日常というルールに　騙されそうになったら

反旗を翻そう

さあ僕たちだけの革命を起こそうか

A wish, A wish come true

夜の星に願いを

君とつなげた夢のUNION

目を醒ませ

僕らの世界が何者かに侵略されてるぞ

これは訓練でも　リハーサルでもない

覆われた日常というべールを　勢いよく剥がしたら

戦いの鐘が鳴る

あの頃のように同盟を結ぼうか

―　君を“退屈”から救いに来たんだ！

Me wo samase

Bokura no sekai ga nanimono ka ni shinryaku sareteruzo

Tsukurimono no you na kono hibi ni

Bokura no S.O.S ga kasoku suru

Nanika ga chigau to shiri nagara

Minareta sora onaji keshiki ni kyou ga nagareteku

Ano hi no chikai tte nan dakke

Kyoushitsu de nani wo katattetakke

Kono mama ja yakusoku made kiete shimau

Me wo samase

Bokura no sekai ga nanimono ka ni shinryaku sareteruzo

Kore wa kunren demo RIHAASARU demo nai

Ouwareta nichijou to iu BEERU wo ikioi yoku hagashitara

Tatakai no kane ga naru

Sore ja toriaezu doumei wo musubou ka

― Kimi wo "taikutsu" kara sukui ni kita'n da!

Nisemono mitai na omoide ni

"Mukashi wa yokatta" tte yubi wo sasu

Munashii dake to shirinagara

Satotta furi mite minu furi de kizu wo kakushiteku

HIIROO ni nare ya shinai'n datte

Shujinkou wa dareka yaru desho tte

Shiranu ma ni akirametari shinaide yo

Me no mae no bokura no sekai wa nanimono ni mo kaerarenai sekai

Sore wa kodomo mo otona mo kankeinai

Kurikaesu nichijou to iu RUURU ni damasare sou ni nattara

Hanki wo hirugaesou

Saa boku-tachi dake no kakumei wo okosou ka

A wish, A wish come true

Yoru no hoshi ni negai wo

Kimi to tsunageta yume no UNION

Me wo samase

Bokura no sekai ga nanimono ka ni shinryaku sareteruzo

Kore wa kunren demo RIHAASARU demo nai

Ouwareta nichijou to iu BEERU wo ikioi yoku hagashitara

Tatakai no kane ga naru

Ano koro no you ni doumei wo musubou ka

― Kimi wo "taikutsu" kara sukui ni kita'n da!

Open your eyes

Our world is being invaded by something!

On these fabricated-like days,

Our S.O.S. signals are being sent rapidly

Knowing that there is something different

About the familiar sky...the usual scenery...the passing day.

What was the promise that day?

What did you talk about in the classroom?

As it is, that promise will end up disappearing!

Open your eyes

Our world is being invaded by something!

This is neither a training nor a rehearsal!

The covered daily life, if you peel it off vigorously

The bell that signals the fight rings!

Well then, for now, let us become one alliance!

I came to save you from "boredom"!

To these fake-like memories,

"Things were better in the past" - pointing out with your finger

Knowing how vain my action is,

I still pretend not to see those scars you hide behind the facade.

I did not want to be a hero,

The protagonist should have been someone else!

Don't just unknowingly give up!

Within our views, is our world that cannot be replaced by anything!

It does not matter if children or adults are involved

That day-repeating rule! If you are going to be deceived by it

Let's raise the flag of resistance!

Let's make our own revolution happen!

A wish, a wish come true I wish upon a star at night

UNION of a dream connected with you

Open your eyes

Our world is being invaded by something!

This is neither a training nor a rehearsal!

The covered daily life, if you peel it off vigorously

The bell that signals the fight rings!

Just like back then, let us become one alliance!

I came to save you from "boredom"!

## Making of Union

    Three months after the anime's end, a DVD/Blu Ray disc was released including the song's music video plus a behind-the-scenes featurette. In addition to the performance, the music video also contains a newly-filmed live-action drama part, planned and cooperated by SSSS.GRIDMAN director Akira Amamiya, and a tokusatsu part featuring the collaboration between the heroes from SSSS.GRIDMAN and Denkou Choujin Gridman.
