English Translation
[Intro] (Transmit sequence data, manipulate frequency controller, damage alert) [Valeo voice] Black out!

(Takashi. FC3S. Savannah RX7. Disconnect. Black out.) (Black. Black. Black. Black)

(Black out. Black out)

[Verse 1] With your cool experience, don't lose control. Keep your eyes on the simulated street.

[Pre-Chorus] I am the only one who makes the dying rules. What kind of logic smashes all of our souls?

[Chorus] Feel the Black Out, Black Out! Into the ice and the burning flames Black Out, Black Out! Finishing up, iceman's drivin' Black Out, Black Out! Only spirit will win this fight Black Out, Black Out! Proof of the hero's death

[Verse 2] While practicing isolation, don't lose control. Initialize even the most useless things.

[Pre-Chorus 2] Making ideas at a moment's notice, shooting star. Only a white miracle can save us now.

[Chorus 2] Feel the Black Out, Black Out! Into the ice and burning flames Black Out, Black Out! In this city, iceman's drivin' Black Out, Black Out! Only the streets will give a response Black Out, Black Out! Proof of the hero's death
