==Awakening the Chaos LA Lyrics==
<blockquote class="news-box scroll">
Now, it's time to stand again on stage to revive, you see?<br>
Her Reincarnation, Her Installation<br>
Now, it's time to stand again on whole the dirty ground, you see?<br>
Her Reincarnation, Her Installation<br>
The flying soul in the quiet sky is invited<br>
To the voices remains to be staying in the icy doll<br>
Boot up your body right now, girl<br>
You are... Machine!<br>
Boot up your body right now, girl<br>
You are... Machine!<br>
<br>
She woke up from the long, long sleep<br>
What do the eyes without light see?<br>
Tell me now!<br>
She came back from the hole in deep<br>
What do the eyes without heart see?<br>
<br>
My scope only projects the sole ruler<br>
My radar catches countless enemies<br>
Dive!<br>
<br>
Do not doubt it, my daughter<br>
Do not rebel, my daughter<br>
You are nothing but programmed<br>
Fight it out, Replica!<br>
Cannot feel the sharpest pain,<br>
Cannot demand the smallest gain,<br>
Till approaching time...<br>
When the chamber will be broken!<br>
<br>
She woke up from the long, long sleep<br>
Whose voice does not the ear hear?<br>
Tell me now!<br>
She came back from the hole in deep<br>
Throwing away the memory all?<br>
<br>
My scope only projects the sole ruler<br>
My radar catches countless enemies<br>
Dive!<br>
<br>
You don't need the banal words,<br>
You don't need to get some warm,<br>
You don't need a reason...<br>
Why you do exist, Replica!<br>
You can't get trivial pleasure,<br>
You can't get foolish treasure,<br>
Any longer, can't<br>
go back untie the cruel power!<br>
<br>
Let it go,<br>
She doesn't grieve the transient fate...<br>
Love and hate, desire made up her imitation life<br>
Let me go,<br>
When I count the life that I have picked and killed<br>
I do not shake at all...<br>
My mind stay as “zero”<br>
<br>
You don't need the banal words,<br>
You don't need to get some warm,<br>
You don't need reason...<br>
Why you do exist, Replica!<br>
<br>
Do not doubt it, my daughter<br>
Do not rebel, my daughter<br>
You are nothing but programmed<br>
Fight it out, Replica!<br>
Cannot feel the sharpest pain,<br>
Cannot demand the smallest gain,<br>
Till approaching time...<br>
When the chamber will be broken!<br>

==Trivia==
*Anōthen (ἄνωθεν) is Greek for “new” or “from above”, playing with the theme of naming [[Boundary Interface Prime Field Device]]s (specifically Nu, Mu, and Lambda) after letters of the Greek alphabet.
*In a [[Polls/Weekly_Famitsu_Magazine_Survey_(June_14,_2018)|poll run by the magazine ''Weekly Famitsu'']], Awakening the Chaos ranked 3rd in a survey that asked, "What was your favorite ''BlazBlue'' song?"
