I wanna face my destiny head on and see for myself Why was destiny given to me Shrouded in such mystery (Wake up) Unleash a force yet undiscovered I can hear a mysterious voice in the dark Calling out to me Telling me the follow the melody Into the depths of time Perhaps this is my destiny Which I can't escape, and neither should I Destiny's play is about to begin If you choose the same path you had taken You'll end up in the same spot as well Step forward into another direction To see sights you have never seen thus far DASH! I'm just keeping my sights set ahead And what do you know, Destiny is pushing me along I wanna know the truth (Wake up) Rouse your tough spirit from its slumber Awaken your spirit as you fight Reaching past the barriers of time, someday I shall find it Follow these links Into the world of mystery Perhaps that is my destiny Am I scared to find out? No way Destiny's play, make the connections Just like how the music each one of us makes is unique We each have our own destinies Only I will map out my own destiny Unleash a force yet undiscovered I can hear a mysterious voice in the dark Calling out to me Telling me the follow the melody Into the abyss of time Perhaps this is my destiny Which I can't escape, and neither should I Destiny's play is about to begin Am I scared to find out? No way Destiny's play, connect to destiny A voice calls out to me in the darkness Wake up Destiny's Play A world of mysteries draws me into itself Wake up Destiny's Play

Notes

• In the show itself, "Destiny's Play" is an original song by Kengo, played on his electric guitar on several occasions including a small concert featuring Wataru on vocals (whose actor is the vocalist for the actual song), Megumi on bass, and Shizuka on drums in episode 12.
• Unlike Kamen Rider Den-O, Kiva did not have a different ending arrangement of Destiny's Play for each of Kiva's form changes.
