[English]

In an instant, seize it. Are you ready?

<Are you lazy?>

A new history begins right there. Feel it! Feel it!

<Crazy baby!>

Accelerate fueled by the light of bonds

Keep shouting out loud! Shout it out!

Let's move forward now

Even on days of confusion, repeatedly knock on tomorrow’s door

Beyond the moment I’ve been staring at

Jump in and see what happens

Believe yourself!!

Now, Over “Quartzer” Through the rain of time, slip through together

You, Over “Quartzer” Let’s go beyond the future

The will of the past can’t be fooled by lies

Feel it—Yes, Nexus Future

Now, Over “Quartzer” Show me the dazzling world

Experience is asking—Are you “Breaker”?

<Are you “Brighter”?>

No time to doubt—beat it! Beat it!

<Driving baby!>

Loneliness is just a solo game

Keep shooting out! Shooting out!

Let’s raise our wishes high

There’s no single right answer. Listen closely in the dark

Feel that heartbeat you’ve found

Let it resonate

Believe yourself!!

Even if we are far apart

We’re bound to meet again—through the pain we shared

Etched into our vows

The star’s trail we chase

On this endless journey

Now, Over “Quartzer” Through the rain of time, slip through together

You, Over “Quartzer” Let’s go beyond the future

The will of the past can’t be fooled by lies

Feel it—Yes, Nexus Future

Now, Over “Quartzer” Show me the dazzling world

Until the very last second

<Now, Over “Quartzer”>

Run at the greatest speed

<Over “Quartzer”>

Surpassing everything that blocks your way

Yes My Lord! Yes My Lord!

Yes My Lord! Yes My Lord!

You’re my KING!

見つめたその先に

飛び込んでみたら

Believe yourself!!

Now, Over “Quartzer” 時の雨 擦り抜けて 共に

You, Over “Quartzer” 未来を超えよう

疑う暇がないほどに Beat it! Beat it!

＜Driving baby!＞

孤独なんて ヒトリヨガリさ

このまま Shoot it out ! Shoot it out!

願い掲げよう

正解は1つじゃない 闇夜に耳澄ませ

見つけたその鼓動

響かせてみたら

Believe yourself!!

たとえ遠く 離れていても

出会うはずさ 重ねたその痛み

刻んだ誓いと

流星(ほし)追う軌跡と

果てなき旅路で

Now, Over “Quartzer” 時の雨 擦り抜けて 共に

You, Over “Quartzer” 未来を超えよう

過去の意思は 嘘では欺けない

感じろ そう Nexus Future

Now, Over “Quartzer” 目映い世界 魅せて

最後の1秒までも

＜Now, Over “Quartzer”＞

最大の加速で駆けろ

＜Over “Quartzer”＞

遮るすべてを超えて

Yes My Lord! Yes My Lord!

Yes My Lord! Yes My Lord!

You’re my KING!
