[Intro] [Spoken] They tell me You walked the same dirty paths As the sisters who shake that broken city Steel in your hands Smoke on your breath And somehow You’re still standing [Verse 1] I have walked with ghosts on my shoulder Rain in my cup, and ash in my lungs Your story rides the whisper of the taverns A child of depth and danger, still young You learned to live where the air cuts Where a heartbeat can cost you the day Now you carry heat in your left hand Steel in your right And you don’t look away [Chorus] Welcome, Blade Dancer To this crossing of worlds Let your fire chase my wind ’Til the sky starts to swirl When your sparks meet my storm Let the ground know our name We will carve new scars in the air With blades of wind and flame [Spoken Break] [Spoken] They say you grew up Beside fists that never stayed still And laughter that sounded like shattering glass If you survived that You’re already my kind of trouble (heh) [Verse 2] I see the soot on your stories Burnt fingerprints on every win You speak in sudden footsteps You answer in that sideways grin Your tricks smell like danger and promise A flash, then the world rearranged I’ve bled for every cut that I carry You’ve burned for every breath you’ve changed [Chorus] Welcome, Blade Dancer To this crossing of worlds Let your fire chase my wind ’Til the sky starts to swirl When your sparks meet my storm Let the ground know our name We will carve new scars in the air With blades of wind and flame [Bridge] [Spoken] When the bell rings And this new arena wakes Show me how far a child of the depths Can push a tired wanderer Bring your heat to my storm Make my old regrets Sweat [Chorus] Welcome, Blade Dancer Step beside me, not behind Let your fire chase my wind Let our cuts share a line When your sparks meet my storm Let the crowd feel the same We will write a new war in the sky With blades of wind and flame [Outro] [Spoken] Come, then Let your edge speak I’ll answer Stroke for stroke
