[Intro] [speaking] Step closer. I know your name by the smoke you drag. Blade Dancer... Welcome to 2XKO. [Verse 1] I saw your blades in the dark, spinning like prayers with teeth. Gadgets on your hips, little suns in your sleeves. You dance through fire, laughing at broken glass, and every step says, "I was built to outlast." [Pre-Chorus] Tell me what you are, when the sparks go blind. Tell me what you are, when the grin won't die. I can hear Zaun in the iron of your breath, I can taste the storm in the way you threaten death. [Chorus] Welcome to 2XKO, burn, Blade Dancer, burn. Welcome to 2XKO, let the ruin learn. If you stand beside me, we make a fresh inferno. If you stand against me, I will drag it from your soul. (Welcome to 2XKO) (Burn! Burn, Blade Dancer, burn) [Verse 2] I could make you holy, or hollow you to bone. A friend with a match, a foe turned into stone. We'd carve the halls red, leave halos in the smoke, two laughing monsters with the same cruel joke. [speaking] They said, if the Burning Blade of Zaun ever stops laughing... even Aurelion Sol should fear the coming inferno. [Pre-Chorus] So laugh for me now, let it crack your chest. Dance for me now, show me your worst and best. I can turn your rage into a choir of flame, or rip the light from your eyes and teach your fear my name. [Chorus] Welcome to 2XKO, burn, Blade Dancer, burn. Welcome to 2XKO, let the ruin learn. If you stand beside me, we make a fresh inferno. If you stand against me, I will drag it from your soul. (Welcome to 2XKO) (Burn, Blade Dancer, burn) [Bridge] [sung/spoken, ethereal] (Ooooh) I could crown you in cinders... (Ooooh) I could chain you to the blaze... (Ooooh) One laugh becomes a warning... (Ooooh) One cut becomes a grave... [Breakdown] [speaking] Choose, then. Ally... or offering. [Final Chorus] Welcome to 2XKO, burn, Blade Dancer, burn. Welcome to 2XKO, let the ruin learn. If you stand beside me, we make a fresh inferno. If you stand against me, I will drag it from your soul. (Welcome to 2XKO) (Burn, Blade Dancer, burn)
