[Verse 1]
Watch, uh (Hey), I’ma bite back, uh
짙은 어둠이 막아설 땐, uh
한 걸음 앞으로 날아든, it’s bad
사라진 feedback, 시작된 code black, huh
깊어가, 혼란스러운 밤
악몽은 또 짙게 번져가
뭔갈 숨기려고 해, I got it, I got it
혼돈을 타고 덮쳐, killing like—

깨트려 거침없이 done (Go way up, way up)
Full shot, pull it up, Armageddon

겁 없이 누벼
날 이끄는 way-ay-ay-ay

또 어둠을 몰아내고

내 모든 걸 이끌어, do it all myself
완전한 나를 이뤄내, ooh (Drop)
