[Spoken Intro] Come closer, little legend. I have a place saved for you. They call you Blade Dancer—brother to Jinx and Vi, straight from Zaun, carrying more sorrow than any child should know. But Annie heard the rest of the story. [Verse 1] I heard you turn a rooftop into ribbons, A silver flash, then gone before they stare. You tumble through the smoke with sparks for pockets, And leave a laughing fire dancing there. [Pre-Chorus] They say your past is full of broken pieces, Names and faces time could never mend. So bring your brave, impossible inventions— Tonight, a brand-new chapter starts, my friend. [Chorus] Welcome, Blade Dancer, step inside the tale, Spin your sword and let the candle flames grow tall. If you can make the embers chase the ceiling, I want to see you show us all. Welcome, Blade Dancer, clever, quick, and bright, Zaun-born wonder with a dangerous grin. I can wield a little fire myself, you know— So come on, let the games begin! [Spoken Interlude] I saved you the seat beside Tibbers. He looks grumpy, but that is only because he has not seen your gadgets yet. Do they explode on purpose? Excellent. [Verse 2] You fight with every trick the dark can teach you, A feint, a kick, a coin beneath the sleeve. Then acrobatics carry you above them, While tiny thunderclaps make rivals leave. [Pre-Chorus] And though the old world tried to name your damage, You stitched your courage underneath the scars. Now every blade becomes a flying comet, And every spark can point you toward the stars. [Chorus] Welcome, Blade Dancer, step inside the tale, Spin your sword and let the candle flames grow tall. If you can make the embers chase the ceiling, I want to see you show us all. Welcome, Blade Dancer, clever, quick, and bright, Zaun-born wonder with a dangerous grin. I can wield a little fire myself, you know— So come on, let the games begin! [Bridge] [Spoken] Ready? One step for the sorrow. Two steps for the trouble. Three steps— [Sung] —and up you fly like sparks from a match, With a wicked little flourish and a lightning-fast slash. No rulebook can contain you, no cage can hold you still, You turn the whole battlefield into a daring window sill. [Spoken] That was amazing. Please do it again, but farther away from my teddy bear. [Final Chorus] Welcome, Blade Dancer, your chapter has begun, Bring your fire, your bright devices, every dangerous one. From Zaun’s tangled alleys to this storybook hall, I have heard you are absolutely awesome, after all. Welcome, Blade Dancer, let the old bells ring, With your sister’s legends trailing on the wind. You have lost so much, but here you are still standing— Come show us what a fire-hearted fighter brings! [Outro] [Spoken] There you are. A little dangerous, a little dazzling, and exactly the sort of friend I was hoping would arrive. [Sung] Close the book, but leave the candle bright, Blade Dancer, welcome to the night.
