English
I hear someone's voice from far away

One after another the warriors prepare for battle

On a street that only comes back

Forget about being prepared ARE YOU READY?

My body shivers straight to the core

The energy rings out like violent STOMPING

It CALLS ME, always growing, never dying out

This is an unstoppable comeback STORY

Come on, everybody STAND UP

Stand up, today's your best shot!

No one can catch you SPEED HUNTER

Everyone COME BACK now YEAH!

Come on, everybody HANDS UP

Tomorrow is our HERO'S COME BACK

Raise up your hands and COUNT DOWN

Let's go, 3-2-1 MAKE SOME NOISE!

MAKE SOME NOISE! (8x)

Hey, yo, whoa, you ready to deal with all the risks?

You gotta get back up no matter how many times you fall !

Only a paper-thin truce keeps our bond intact

Those feelings have built up and solidified

The rising tide of cheers will give you courage

You'll suffer now as you stand back up

But I know you'll end up smiling!

Push it all away, and feel the thrill of victory!

Come on, everybody STAND UP

Stand up, today's your best shot!

No one can catch you SPEED HUNTER

Everyone COME BACK now YEAH!

Come on, everybody HANDS UP

Tomorrow is our HERO'S COME BACK

Raise up your hands and COUNT DOWN

Let's go, 3-2-1 MAKE SOME NOISE
