[English]

Like a thin thread

I saw a single ray of light

In the darkness as black as pitch

I'm wandering in search of the end

Like the beautiful eternity

A dream stretching far out

Time is freakin’ running out

I gotta dash

Break up the way

I’m in my devil

Don’t make me mad

I gotta dash

Break up the way

I’m in my devil

Don’t make me mad

I fly for peace

Never lose in this place

No hesitation in sight at all

Ma prime series

New chapter let's get it

Don’t slow down

Never repeat it

Don’t stop for life

Give me Give me that

Oh, we’ll rock!

The question is where you at now

Take it easy now

Anyway, there's no set answer, so keep it up

Wake me up

Like a nightmare

A dream covered in total darkness

Time is freakin’ running out

I gotta dash

Break up the way

I’m in my devil

Don’t make me mad

I gotta dash

Break up the way

I’m in my devil

Don’t make me mad

The ending flipped again

Lies in your choice

The breath of the day we promised

I gotta dash

Break up the way

I’m in my devil

(The revolution has begun)

Don’t make me mad (Rise, glory is ours)

I gotta dash

Break up the way

I’m in my devil

(The revolution has begun)

Don’t make me mad (Rise, glory is ours)

[Korean]

실낱같았던

한 줄기의 빛을 봤어

칠흑 같은 어둠 속에

끝을 헤매고 있어

아름답던 영원처럼

아득히 펼쳐진 꿈

Time is freakin’ running out

I gotta dash

Break up the way

I’m in my devil

Don’t make me mad

I gotta dash

Break up the way

I’m in my devil

Don’t make me mad

I fly for peace

Never lose in this place

거침 따위 전혀 보이지 않지

악몽처럼

다시 뒤바뀌는 결말은

네 선택에 놓여

약속했던 그날의 숨결
