[Spoken Intro] Blade Dancer—come closer. Cassiopeia welcomes you to 2XKO. I have heard of Zaun’s sharpest brother, of Jinx and Vi, of sparks and scars. Show me what your hands can do. [Verse 1] Silk at my ankles, dust on my skin, I coil where the tournament drums begin. You cut through smoke with a dancer’s grace, Small bright charges blooming in your wake. Your fire writes warnings across the floor, Your steel keeps asking for something more. I taste the question behind your grin: How much of the beast will you let me see within? [Pre-Chorus] Do not mistake my welcome for surrender, Do not mistake your blaze for a crown. Bring every trick you hid in the alleys— I want to watch you bring them down. [Chorus] Welcome, Blade Dancer, step into my ring, Show me the trouble your bright blades bring. I will meet your fire with a serpent’s poise, And answer your thunder with a quieter voice. Call me no monster for the face I wear, I will call you no monster for the power you bear. If the world wants legends sharpened by fear, We will leave them our names, clean and clear. [Spoken Verse] You are not Jinx’s shadow. You are not Vi’s unfinished warning. And I am not a lesson for frightened eyes. Tonight, we decide what survives the story. [Verse 2] You vault over traps like a thrown silver coin, A blade in each hand, every nerve in the join. Zaun in your heartbeat, fire in your breath, You turn a narrow escape into a dare against death. I know what they whisper when beauty turns strange, How quickly a body becomes something blamed. So circle me, swordsman; let the old judges stare. I have no use for their names in the air. [Bridge] One step—your spark. Two steps—my tail. Steel rings bright where the bravest fail. No cage, no curse, no borrowed disguise; Meet me awake, with your eyes on mine. [Chorus] Welcome, Blade Dancer, step into my ring, Show me the trouble your bright blades bring. I will meet your fire with a serpent’s poise, And answer your thunder with a quieter voice. Call me no monster for the face I wear, I will call you no monster for the power you bear. If the world wants legends sharpened by fear, We will leave them our names, clean and clear. [Spoken Outro] Bring the gadgets. Bring the fire. Bring every story they used to make you smaller. I am interested in the challenge, Blade Dancer. Welcome to 2XKO.
