[Spoken Intro] Blade Dancer of Zaun... I know what a child learns when the room goes quiet. How to smile with a wound beneath it. How to turn the spark into a weapon before anyone asks who lit the fire. Welcome to 2XKO. [Verse 1] They say you came up where the pipes ran hot With a pocket full of tricks and a heart tied in knots A sword flashing bright through the factory rain Little brother, big flame, laughing over the pain Jinx has her thunder, Vi has her scars You made a second language out of broken parts Fire on your fingers, steel in your hand Still searching for a place where a hurt kid can stand [Pre-Chorus] I can hear the years behind that grin The locked-room thunder underneath your skin You don't have to name the thing that stayed I have carried darkness too; I won't turn away [Chorus] Come in, Burning Blade, set your burden down No crown, no judgment waiting in this town If we cross as allies, I will guard your side If we meet as enemies, I won't let you hide And if your laughter ever leaves the flame Even distant heavens will remember your name But before the inferno takes everything you knew Take my hand, let me walk a little way with you [Verse 2] You vault through danger like the floor gave birth Gadgets bloom sparks from the dust and dirt A dancer's balance, a chem-fire kiss Every bright little blast says, "Don't look at this" They whisper that the dragon in the sky should pray If your laugh goes still and the color drains away But I know the boy beneath the legend they made Who learned to burn first, so he wouldn't be afraid [Spoken Interlude] Listen to me. You are not the worst thing that happened to you. Not the smoke, not the blade, not the laugh you use to keep the silence back. You can stand beside us, or stand across from us. Either way, I will see you clearly. And if the fire gets too high, reach for me. I will not promise an easy road. I will promise I won't leave you alone on it. [Bridge] No one gets to choose the scars we inherit No one gets to call a child's survival a sin Let the old ghosts knock till their knuckles are red There is still a living heart beneath what they said [Chorus] Come in, Burning Blade, set your burden down No crown, no judgment waiting in this town If we cross as allies, I will guard your side If we meet as enemies, I won't let you hide And if your laughter ever leaves the flame Even distant heavens will remember your name But before the inferno takes everything you knew Take my hand, let me walk a little way with you [Outro] Blade Dancer... Keep the sword if you need it. Keep the fire if it keeps you standing. Just don't mistake the burning for being alone. Welcome to the roster. You are seen.
