[English]

You fool

Fake

Blocks the train from forging new tracks

Bad guy

Bonds relationships

New lie detector: who uses status to control

High and low, strength limits

Trap in the staircase

Challenge and pressure

Not kneeling before heaven, trusting faith to hold strong

Hard to make it a habit, like a chess piece

Hold back actions

Stand tall, turn criticism into courage

Confidently face the future, even if it’s not what I expected

At worst, I’ll die

And I won’t hide

Thought power can be a weapon

Sweat can be a weapon

New voices, attacked fiercely, already prepared

Bravely welcoming another new century

The more chaotic, the more hope there is

Silence only brings loneliness, no surprises

Using mental power, even ordinary people can fly

Break down barriers, face more weirdos

Embrace him

With new blood, nourish this world

I hold tight, with unique spirit, driven by rhythm

Diffuse confusion, ignore oppression

Focus on forging armor, attack the tower

Destroy outdated rules, one by one, with full force

Using sweat and blood as stakes, fearlessly risking everything

New genes, new skin colors, before the tide rises

(Don’t sell old software, don’t show off old classics)

New rules, new things, conducting experiments

(Experiment rockets, one by one)

Members haven’t quit, letting the darkness grow

Success and failure, both faces of the same coin

Shining light across the Earth in the battle

Prophecies through megaphone, a decade forecasted

Take a risk once

Send an electric shock

The more fixed, the more we have to change; the more limited, the more to change

Superluminal Mars trajectory faster than lightning

Bravely welcoming another new century

The more chaotic, the more hope there is

Silence only brings loneliness, no surprises

Using mental power, even ordinary people can fly

Break down barriers

Face more weirdos

Embrace him, with new blood, nourish this world

Never give up

Never give up

Never give up

I got it, I’ve got a warrior heart

Never give up

Never give up

Never give up

I got it, I’ve got a warrior heart

Closed attitude

I draw a line

Create a new world, a chosen bunch of kids

No arrogance, no pride, constantly changing and evolving, sparking storms

Signal received, setting off on a great journey

New standards, new trials

Motor with new batteries

Old parts, lots of issues

Pause and restart

New monuments, epic stories, no boundaries

Restless, a new batch of young ones is coming

Bravely welcoming another new century

The more chaotic, the more hope there is

Silence only brings loneliness, no surprises

Gather mental power, even ordinary people can fly

Courage only gets started

Believe, we can fly

A new century

I ask you to be prepared

Never give up

Never give up

Never give up

I got it, I’ve got a warrior heart

Never give up

Never give up

Never give up

I got it, I’ve got a warrior heart

[Chinese]

笨蛋

虛偽

阻擋火車衝不出新路軌

壞蛋

拉關係

新推出測謊機 誰用地位關掣

高級的 低質的 力量範圍

困住了階梯

給挑剔 給威迫

未下跪天規靠信仰打低

難成為習慣做一隻棋

行動都顧忌

挺起腰骨被負評練勇氣

挺起胸襟任未來不似預期

大不了死

亦不會避

念力能做武器

滴汗能做武器

新聲音慘遭攻擊有了準備

浩浩蕩蕩迎來另一新世紀

越鬧越熱鬧是轉機

越靜默越寂寞難有驚喜

運用念力凡人亦都可以飛

拆去幾多關卡 多了幾多怪咖

擁抱他

以新血灌溉天地

我捉緊 獨有氣魄 靠節拍

吹散困惑 無視踐踏

專注鑄 造盔甲 出發 攻塔

將陳舊規格遂一遂一 遂一擊殺

用汗與血作抵押無懼孤注一擲

新基因 新膚色 後浪面前

（別販賣著舊軟件 別賣弄著舊日經典）

新規則 新東西 做實驗

（實驗一支一支一支火箭）

成員未退出讓陰暗面

成敗都正面

以閃光燈在地球大作戰

以咪高風大預言一個十年

冒一次險

發一次電

越定型越要變 越技窮越要變

超光速火星軌跡快過閃電

浩浩蕩蕩迎來另一新世紀

越鬧越熱鬧是轉機

越靜默越寂寞難有驚喜

運用念力凡人亦都可以飛

拆去幾多關卡

多了幾多怪咖

擁抱他 以新血灌溉天地

never give up

never give up

never give up

I got it I’ve got a warrior heart

never give up

never give up

never give up

I got it I’ve got a warrior heart

封閉嘅態度

我畫上句號

新世界創造 一班被選中嘅細路

不驕 不傲 不斷變化再進化 引發 連場風暴

訊號 收到 出發偉大航道

標準有新嘗試

摩打有新電池

殘舊配件很有事

 停頓再開始

新的古蹟新的史詩不設定義

輾轉反側即將湧出新一批幼齒

浩浩蕩蕩迎來另一新世紀

越鬧越熱鬧是轉機

越靜默越寂寞難有驚喜

聚集念力凡人亦都可以飛

勇氣只可開機

相信總可以飛

新世紀

我請你要有準備

never give up

never give up

never give up

I got it I’ve got a warrior heart

never give up

never give up

never give up

I got it I’ve got a warrior heart
