Lyrics
(Guitar solo)

Initialize

Initialize

Initialize...

D!

Start your engines

Drive with the vengeance

Gasoline dreams

We're the true kings of tension

Not to mention

Suspense and speed

Full throttle to the next turn

Drift, take the lead

Cos the NightKids always the first to push the limit

Now it's my time

Redline to the finish

It's clash of the titans

Adrenaline rush

On the streets where you can't trust

Something you can't touch

Lightspeed: You can't see it

But you know it's there

We can feel it all around us in the midnight air

Never scared cos I'm out for the title

Initialize! Now we count down to the battle!

(Initialize)

Initial D

See me roll through these curves like a wrecking ball

Just a test where the fast stand tall

And the rest just fall

Don't get twisted in the mix

You blink and then you miss it

One bad move

Now you can't fix the distance

You risk it

Everything can change in an instant

Dawning of the Red Sun rising every minute

86 custom fine tuned and tinted

Speed Stars blasting off the line

They can win it!

Lightspeed: You can't see it

But you know it's there

We can feel it all around us in the midnight air

Never second got my foot to the pedal

Initialize! Now we count down to the battle!
