[Spoken Intro] Blade Dancer of Zaun… Come closer. You don’t have to lower your guard. I know what the dark keeps asking from a child. [Verse 1] They taught your hands to make a weapon Before they taught your heart to rest A spark inside a broken workshop A grin stitched over all the wreckage You learned to leap across the danger With burning steel and pocket bombs While every laugh concealed a chamber Where something frightened stayed alone [Pre-Chorus] I have carried ghosts through daylight I have watched them call it strength So if your fire turns against you Let me stand beside the flame [Chorus] Welcome to the ring, Blade Dancer Bring the scars you never name Ally, enemy, it doesn’t matter I will reach you through the blaze If the laughter ever leaves you If the silence takes its place Even heaven ought to tremble When Zaun’s inferno wakes [Verse 2] Jinx and Vi are in your bloodline Two cracked mirrors, two different storms You made a kingdom out of motion So no one sees what keeps you torn Acrobat above the razors Swordsman spinning through the smoke Fire magic in your fingers Every joke a private oath [Pre-Chorus] I won’t ask you to be harmless I won’t dress your wounds in blame When the child beneath the armor Calls for help, I’ll know the name [Chorus] Welcome to the ring, Blade Dancer Bring the scars you never name Ally, enemy, it doesn’t matter I will reach you through the blaze If the laughter ever leaves you If the silence takes its place Even heaven ought to tremble When Zaun’s inferno wakes [Spoken Bridge] Listen to me. You are not only the hand that strikes. You are not only the fuse, the blade, the joke nobody can survive. If you fight beside me, I’ll cover your back. If you stand against me, I’ll still remember what made you burn. And if one day you stop laughing… I will come find you before the world mistakes your pain for a prophecy. [Final Chorus] Welcome to the ring, Blade Dancer You can set the night ablaze Take my hand or raise your weapon I will meet you either way You have carried too much darkness Since the cradle, since the cage Let me help you hold the fire Without letting it erase [Outro] [Spoken] Stay laughing if you can. And when you can’t… call my name.
