[Intro - Spoken] Footsteps in the dark Blood in the brickwork I know that scent Been a long time Kid [Verse 1 - Spoken] We built you in alleys On cracked stone floors You Me Those two disasters Laughing through the smoke You learned fast Steel in your small hands I kept the shadows gentle Or tried to [Pre-Chorus - Vocal] But the world dragged me under Turned my name into a snarl You vanished into fire and shrapnel I learned to live with the scars [Chorus - Vocal] Welcome to the roster Welcome to the cage I’ve got claws You’ve got chaos We’re the teeth of this stage You bring the blaze I bring the hunger Let them run Let them choke on fear Welcome to the roster Blade Dancer You’re mine to guard again Right here [Verse 2 - Spoken] Look at you now Sword humming at your side Pockets rattling with trouble Heat flickering in your eyes You move like a memory Of every fight I broke up Every cut I bandaged Before I became the cut [Pre-Chorus - Vocal] They turned me into a monster Fine Monsters make good shields Come stand behind the jaws Boy See what breaks on us [Chorus - Vocal] Welcome to the roster Welcome to the cage I’ve got claws You’ve got chaos We’re the teeth of this stage You bring the blaze I bring the hunger Let them run Let them choke on fear Welcome to the roster Blade Dancer You’re mine to guard again Right here [Bridge - Spoken] I remember you sleeping Back to back with those two One dreaming of straight lines One dreaming of explosions I remember swearing No one would touch you Funny thing Oaths don’t die They mutate [Bridge - Vocal] So light the fuse Kid I’ll hold the line If they want your fire They bleed through mine [Chorus - Vocal] Welcome to the roster Welcome to the cage I’ve got claws You’ve got chaos We’re the teeth of this stage You bring the blaze I bring the hunger Let them run Let them choke on fear Welcome to the roster Blade Dancer I lost you once I won’t lose you here [Outro - Spoken] Stay close Kid Let them come You burn I tear And they learn what family means
