That's very nice, but Z no Theme is the song in the middle, not the op. The op and ed were actually pretty nicely done, aside from a couple of typos. Here are the lyrics to Theme of Z:

人の命は尽きるとも
Hito no inochi wa tsukiru tomo
Even if people's lives come to an end

不滅の力 マジンガーZ
Fumetsu no chikara, Mazinger Z
The indestructable power, Mazinger Z

争い絶えないこの世の中に
Arasoi taenai kono yo no naka ni
In this world of endless conflict

幸せ求めて悪を撃つ
Shiawase motomete aku o utsu
Seeking happiness, it beats Evil

人の頭脳を加えたときに
Hito no zunou o kuwaeta toki ni
When combined with a person's brain

マジンガーZ マジンガーZ
Mazinger Z, Mazinger Z

お前こそ 未来をもたらす
Omae koso mirai o motarasu
You will bring about our future!

I got those from spending 5 minutes doing a Yahoo search for the official lyrics, then another 15 minutes romanizing them and putting them in English. This is not a Herculean endeavor.

And for future reference, "Tekkamen butai" is "Iron mask brigade", not two-faced man. EEGE is the Japanese way of writing Aegan. These are fairly common terms in the series, which is why I point them out.
