[English]

Before I knew it, the world is filled with wandering corpses

Why is this? The color of loneliness

Forget even dreaming, lost in a virtual reality

What are you searching for with hollow eyes?

It’s a haunted world

It’s a haunted mind

Don’t you realize the feelings that make your heart tremble?

Go on, go on together—won’t leave anyone alone forever

The time and story begin to move, now is the moment to call your name

Reboot—revive, repeat, awaken your spirit

Reboot—choose, decide, and create your own future

A life that belongs to no one—so serious it’s almost laughable, get real, get down

Like a life ending today—Reboot

Like a life you'll meet tomorrow—Reboot, Reboot

We can do it—changing the game, right now, with you—Reboot

[Japanese]

いつの間にか　屍たちが彷徨う世界

どうしてなの？　孤独の色

夢を見ることも忘れ仮想現実の中　

虚ろな目で何を探すのか？

It’s a haunted world

It’s a haunted mind

心が震える想いを　知らないのか？

Go on go on together　ひとりにはしないForever

動き出す時間とStory　今こそCall your name

Reboot　蘇り　繰り返し　呼び覚ます　

Reboot　自分の手で選び決めて創るFuture

誰のものでもない人生 笑っちゃうくらいに本気出せGet down

今日で終わる生命のように　Reboot

明日出会う生命のように　Reboot Reboot

できるはず　Changing the game　君と今　Reboot
