[Verse 1] I kept a candle by the stair And listened for a stranger's name Zaun sent you through the cracks Wrapped in soot and old rain They said your hands were quick with steel That grief had carved your shadow deep That you could grin at broken doors And dance where hungry fires leap [Pre-Chorus] So I peeked through the curtain lace And saw the sparks around your heel If hurt made you into a blade Then show me how you made it real [Chorus] Blade Dancer, welcome in Blade Dancer, let the game begin I heard you burn, I heard you swing I wanna see what trouble brings Blade Dancer, take my hand Blade Dancer, from Zaun's rough land If you can play with fire too Then maybe, maybe I can do that too [Spoken] Oh? You came all the way here for the roster? That's so brave. And a little bit sad. But mostly brave. [Verse 2] They told me you had sisters once And stories sharp enough to split You learned to laugh inside the storm Then patched your heart with grit I like the way you turn and twist Like circus tricks and razor snow Like every fight is one big dare And nobody tells you no [Pre-Chorus] I know the ache can bite so hard It teaches monsters how to bloom But in this castle full of names I think there's room for you [Chorus] Blade Dancer, welcome in Blade Dancer, let the game begin I heard you burn, I heard you swing I wanna see what trouble brings Blade Dancer, take my hand Blade Dancer, from Zaun's rough land If you can play with fire too Then maybe, maybe I can do that too [Bridge] [Whispered] Show me the blast in your sleeve Show me the trick in your palm Show me how you keep on smiling When the world goes wrong and calm I don't mind the scars you wear I don't mind the smoke you leave If you can leap through every night Then maybe you can teach me [Final Chorus] Blade Dancer, welcome in Blade Dancer, let the game begin I heard you burn, I heard you swing I wanna see what trouble brings Blade Dancer, take my hand Blade Dancer, from Zaun's rough land If you can play with fire too Then maybe, maybe I can do that too [Outro] Come sit close Tell me more I think you're awesome And I want to see what you can do
