[English]

Say goodbye to ordinary days

Overturn the common sense up to today

With cold eyes, what can you do?

Come on, come on, take action now

Destiny shaped and confined

Even if you reach it, in the end, it's meaningless

If it's the path, I’ll create it here

Let's go, toward the unseen horizon

There's no need to fear the darkness

A new Sun will be rising, you don't know

Running on, running on, aiming for the top

Running on, running on, light the fire

Running on, running on, never stopping

Delivering 100 degrees

Running on, running on, if you agree

Running on, running on, reach out your hand

Running on, running on, higher and higher

Delivering 100 degrees

Breaking through any thick wall

Run without brakes, no, we can't stop

The limiter's already overheating

Come on, come on, to the next stage

Always move, not just words

Don't stop, involve others

Rewrite the life you've lived so far

Drop the old shell off

There's no such thing as a risk-free choice

So today, we gamble everything, we're burning

Running on, running on, aiming for the top

Running on, running on, light the fire

Running on, running on, never stopping

Delivering 100 degrees

Running on, running on, if you agree

Running on, running on, reach out your hand

Running on, running on, higher and higher

Delivering 100 degrees

Adrenaline keeps rising

Burn until you're scalded, heat it up

Until we turn to ash, we're on fire

Break free, 100 degrees

Create a new wave, break the rules

If you're tired of jealousy, just go away now

Under pressure, turn up the heat in this game

Backfire, use adversity as fuel to gain

Higher and higher, no matter the ceiling

Everyday, every night, sharpening my skill

Move out of the way, I’m on my own path

Even if I try to stop, it’s the hard way

There's no need to fear the darkness

[Japanese]
