[Intro — Spoken] Zaun-born blade dancer. I have heard what the years tried to take from you. I have heard what you carried—and what you refused to become. Step forward. The roster of 2XKO has room for one more fire. [Verse 1] You learned to turn a narrow alley into open sky, Steel flashing past the traps that waited eye to eye. With sparks inside your pockets and a furnace in your hand, You cut a path through ruin no one else could understand. They speak of Jinx and Vi, of blood and broken names, But you are not their footnote, not a match to either flame. You came through every furnace with your edges still intact, And every scar you carry is a promise answering back. [Pre-Chorus] I am stone made wakeful, iron taught to stand, I have crossed the fields where courage leaves the land. When the old world points its judgment like a spear, Raise your blade beside me—I will meet it here. [Chorus] Welcome, Blade Dancer, to the ring and roar, Bring your fire, bring your thunder, bring the will that brought you through the door. Small sword friend, stay close beneath my guard, No hand will break you while this heart of stone beats hard. Welcome, Blade Dancer, let the whole arena know: Resilience is a weapon, and yours has learned to grow. [Verse 2] You vault across the danger with a grin behind the flame, A thousand little inventions bearing one unshaken name. The blade becomes a compass, every leap a measured vow, You turn the past behind you into power here and now. I heard the nights were merciless, the road was carved with debt, I heard you faced the burning dawn and did not bow your head. So if the dark comes hunting, let it find us shoulder-to-shoulder, Your quick steel at my side, my granite arms around your border. [Spoken Interlude] Blade Dancer. You are not entering this roster alone. You have a guardian now. Call me friend if you wish. Call me Galio when the battle starts. Either way, little sword friend—stay behind my shield. [Bridge] Let the fire write its answer across the falling rain, Let the steel remember every season of the pain. You are more than what they named you, more than what you lost, You are the hand that keeps its grip, no matter what it costs. [Chorus] Welcome, Blade Dancer, to the ring and roar, Bring your fire, bring your thunder, bring the will that brought you through the door. Small sword friend, stay close beneath my guard, No hand will break you while this heart of stone beats hard. Welcome, Blade Dancer, let the whole arena know: Resilience is a weapon, and yours has learned to grow. [Final Spoken Declaration] To every challenger gathered under these banners: Measure his courage before you measure his height. To every enemy reaching for my small sword friend: Reach farther. [Final Chorus] Welcome, Blade Dancer, let the iron heavens ring, Your fire joins our battle, and your courage makes us sing. Small sword friend, with every strike we rise, I will be the wall before you, I will be your skies. Welcome, Blade Dancer, the roster calls your name, You survived the past—and now you set the ring aflame. [Outro — Spoken] Stand with me, small sword friend. The next battle is ours.
