From the Land of Light for the sake of us, Here he comes, our hero Ultraman. The capsule in his hand sparkles and flashes, The radiance of a million watts. From the Land of Light for the sake of righteousness, Here he comes, our hero Ultraman. The gun in his hand buzzes out "za-zap", He is an expert at monster extermination. From the Land of Light for the sake of the Earth, Here he comes, our hero Ultraman.
