[English]

Ring the alarm

Can you hear my sound?

Twilight’s prelude, piercing the silence

Release a breath out loud

The vision-stealing blur

Isn’t it now? Come out

Instinct in my blood

On the far side of that moon ratatat

I scream ratatat

Kick the ground and run forth ratatat

From this den

Breaking free now, I dive into the world

Aye, a distant silver lining in view

Shards of light piercing through

Now is the perfect timing

That’s why we go

Can you feel it?

Can’t believe it?

Can you hear it?

That voice is a war cry

Someone’s distant howl

We resonate as one

Form a herd, initiate a challenge

Pounce on

The young me

Cast it aside, confront the world

Aye, a distant silver lining in view

Shards of light piercing through

Now is the perfect timing

That’s why we go

Can you feel it?

Can’t believe it?

Can you hear it?

That voice is a war cry

I heard a distant howling

You were like me

Won’t be tamed any longer

That's why we go

Can you feel it?

Can’t believe it?

Can you hear it?

That voice is a war cry

Can you feel it?

Can’t believe it?

Can you hear it?

That voice is a war cry
