[Verse 1] I have seen your scars Ink-black, bleeding slow Zaun made you a weapon Then left you in the smoke Brother to the broken girls Sister fire in your hands You learned to grin at ruin And dance on shattered plans [Pre-Chorus] Now you spin through the dark A blade with a pulse Knees in the dirt Then you’re up, then you strike I hear the grief in your joints The trap in your breath The world kicked you hard So you kicked back harder [Chorus] Come, Blade Dancer Take your place in the blood Come, Blade Dancer Let your grief make you sharp From Zaun to my war You are mine to acclaim Come, Blade Dancer And carve your name [Verse 2] You come with sparks in your sleeves And fire in your palm Cheap tricks, dirty angles A thief’s grin on the thumb Flip over death’s first swing Slide low through the ash Explode the room behind you And laugh as you pass [Pre-Chorus] Your feet write a threat Across every floor Your blade says hello Then the enemy falls I know that hunger well I wear it like a crown You and I were forged To bring the whole world down [Chorus] Come, Blade Dancer Take your place in the blood Come, Blade Dancer Let your grief make you sharp From Zaun to my war You are mine to acclaim Come, Blade Dancer And carve your name [Bridge] [Spoken] I know the look. The one that says the pit was your cradle. The one that says every door closed and called itself mercy. You survived sisters, smoke, and blame. You survived the hand that shook when it should have held you. Good. That is how blades are born. [Breakdown] Fire in your sleeve Steel in your stare Hit me with the ugly I do not care Trip, twist, and cut Break, burn, and bite If the world made you vile Then be vile tonight [Final Chorus] Come, Blade Dancer Take your place in the blood Come, Blade Dancer Let your grief make you sharp From Zaun to my war You are mine to acclaim Come, Blade Dancer And carve your name Come, Blade Dancer Let the ruins remember Come, Blade Dancer You were forged for the flame From Zaun to my war You are mine to acclaim Come, Blade Dancer And carve your name
