預言書

萬能俠舊日伴隨自己 屋企通處飛
七歲幾膽敢預言自己 操一艘戰機
但到一定年紀 經不起經濟起飛
放下志氣 喜中帶悲

萬能俠大熱漸成歷史 彷彿一世紀
穿梭機附運舊時夢想 升空中跌死
為了生活而放棄 要奮鬥來贏盡厚利
世界是大人遊戲 那幼稚預言誰謹記

＊時光機 留給你 回憶裡 誰帶路
假使間給你再做 問你又會否寄望更高
傻瓜機 留給你 誰歡笑 誰憤怒
想當初預言無數 世界有太多變數＊

萬能俠昨日熱誠隊友 通通隱了居
新世紀福音熱潮動畫 一早不再追
面對生活流水 天真給幾次榨取
往日戰友 一一退隊

不記得夢幻樂園地址 消失於市區
一箱箱護衛地球漫畫 安息於廢墟
習慣失望和氣餒 有勇氣原來亦有罪
已到達大人年歲 那偉大預言無根據

時光機 留給你 回憶裡 朋友號
只懂得欺騙細路 奉勸別太早仰望太高
傻瓜機 留給你 誰苦戰 誰卻步
青春的預言無數 有那個信守到老

Book of Prophecies

Omnipotent Hero, my childhood companion, flew everywhere in our house
At the tender age of seven, I boldly prophesied that I would pilot a fighter jet
But as the years went by, I couldn't keep up with the economic boom
I put my aspirations aside, a bittersweet compromise

Omnipotent Hero gradually faded into history, as if a century had passed
The space shuttle carrying my childhood dreams crashed and burned
To survive, I gave up my dreams and fought for financial success
The world is a game for adults, who cares about childish prophecies?

＊Time machine, take you back to the memories, who will guide you?
If you were given another chance, would you still aim higher?
Foolish machine, show you who laughed, who was angry
Once, there were countless prophecies, but the world is too unpredictable＊

Omnipotent Hero, my once-inseparable comrade, has disappeared
The new century's Evangelion craze is long gone
Life's challenges have worn me down
My former comrades have retreated one by one

I can't remember the address of the amusement park, it's vanished
Boxes of Earth-defending manga rest in ruins
I'm used to disappointment and discouragement, courage is a crime
I'm an adult now, those grand prophecies were baseless

Time machine, take you back to the memories, Friend Ship
It only deceives children, don't look too high too soon
Foolish machine, show you who endured, who gave up
Countless prophecies of youth, how many have stood the test of time?
