Didn't want to post my super huge description of the opening in here, so here's a shortened version:

Decipherable Lyrics:

Back to a fairytale, back to the show / Back to the world and there's nowhere to go / Hopeless and desperate, <???> / Things looking bleak and they're bound to get worse

There were a few other things here and there but nothing that could form complete sentences. Those 4 lines are the first 4 lines in the opening.

The opening goes as follows:

- Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang are shown by themselves. After the show title appears, the first three grab their weapons while Yang rides into the camera on Bumblebee.

- Ren, Ruby, and Jaune sit on a couch in Mistral. Nora swings into view upside-down, booping Qrow, who is behind the camera. He glances over to Oscar, who is holding Ozpin's Cane. Oscar flips it around and readies it like one would a two-handed sword. The camera tilts and pans in on the gears of the cane, where Lionheart's desk appears, with six "rope darts" hovering menacingly around him and Watts looking down at him in the background.

- Adam (new outfit confirmed) and Hazel appear to be at the White Fang.

- Blake and Sun are at what looks like a fishing pier, leaning against the rope rails and looking out to the ocean.

- Cinder, smirking, faces a new character, a young woman with short brown hair, a ripped vest, a brown sleeveless jacket, and a bird tattoo on her left bicep.

- Raven and Yang appear, back-to-back. They both glance at each other over their shoulders, Raven looking smug while Yang looks sad.

- Ilia stands in a red, candlelit room. Her mask sits on a table to her left. A door behind the camera opens and she turns to face it.

- The Albain Brothers are shown. They glance at each other before nodding decisively.

- Weiss summons the Arma Gigas. It should be noted that it appears to be much bigger than it did in Volume 4 - much closer to the size it was in the White Trailer

- Nora and Ren fight Hazel. Nora attempts to attack him, but he grabs her hammer by the handle and flings her to the side. Ren slashes at him with Storm Flower, but he seems to block the strikes with his bare forearms

- Blake encounters Ilia, who attacks her with her electric whip sword. Blake dodges two strikes and moves forward to counter.

- Yang runs into frame, using her metal arm and her remaining Ember Celica to fire at Mercury. It appears that her metal arm has a gun in it, as the "shooting a gun" effects appeared when she punched forward with it, but this is not confirmed.

- The four girls appear: Ruby slashes Crescent Rose, Weiss rides on the sword of her summoned Arma Gigas, Blake propels herself across the shot using Gambol Shroud, and Yang surges across the ground using the shots from Ember Celica and presumably her arm.

- Ruby runs forward, ready to fight. The rest of Team RWBY appear beside her. They encounter Salem, who sweeps up from the ground and towers above them, gigantic. Looking determined, they leap forward to attack and the screen fades to white.
