[Verse 1] I have named worlds to ash I have watched empires kneel And still you reach my orbit With a wound they cannot heal Zaun-born blade in motion Laughing at the knife Two broken sisters in your shadow And yet you drag fire into life [Spoken] Come closer, little catastrophe. [Pre-Chorus] I knew you for a rumor A spark beneath the grime Then I heard the street call your name Like a bell made out of time If laughter leaves your throat, mortal Then the stars should learn to run For something wakes in your furnace When your cruel work is done [Chorus] Welcome to the roster Burning Blade of Zaun Welcome to the roster Where the dead still echo sound Laugh while you can, now Laugh while the world holds still If you ever stop, I fear Zaun’s Inferno will [Verse 2] You spin through steel and smoke A dancer made of scars Flip through alleys, kick their teeth in Break their pride, then break the bars Gadgets bloom in your palm Like curses with a fuse Fire blooms around your knuckles And you fight like you’ve got nothing left to lose I see the dirt in your hands The grief behind your grin That kind of haunted violence Is how monsters learn to win [Spoken] Yes... I see the brother, the blade, the bruise. I see the thing that keeps you laughing. [Pre-Chorus] You were forged in bad luck In alleys wet with pain But every cruel hand that shaped you Only sharpened up the flame So wear your damage proudly Wear it like a crown The cosmos loves a survivor Who can burn the hunting hounds down [Chorus] Welcome to the roster Burning Blade of Zaun Welcome to the roster Where the dead still echo sound Laugh while you can, now Laugh while the world holds still If you ever stop, I fear Zaun’s Inferno will [Bridge] If I were cruel, I’d call you small A mortal flicker, brief and thin But rumors ride the broken gutters And even gods should heed what lives within For if that laughter dies And your mouth goes quiet at last I will know the streets have opened And the inferno has risen fast [Final Chorus] Welcome to the roster Burning Blade of Zaun Welcome to the roster With your savage, crooked crown Laugh while you can, now Laugh while the heavens bend If you ever stop, I know Zaun’s Inferno’s at the end [Outro] So spin, little terror Star-kissed and scarred by war The roster takes the reckless And the world will beg for more
