[Verse 1] Born with thunder in my veins And a blade at my side Every hallway knows my name Every shadow wants a ride I learned to count my scars Like prayers on a string Half a god, half a target That’s the curse I bring [Pre-Chorus] I don’t sleep, I don’t fold I hear the footsteps before they move If they come for my soul They better know what blood can do [Chorus] I’m a half-blood knife Cutting through the night Half in the sky Half with the fight I’m a half-blood knife Try me, I survive (half-blood knife) I was born to bite [Verse 2] I wore a crown of ash On a dead-end road Made a home in the wreckage Where the old gods go Every friend I kept Got a name on their chest So I keep my love in motion And I trust the rest [Pre-Chorus] I don’t beg, I don’t break I read the dark like a map in my hand If the cold ones wake I’ll be the last one standing in the sand [Chorus] I’m a half-blood knife Cutting through the night Half in the sky Half with the fight I’m a half-blood knife Try me, I survive (half-blood knife) I was born to bite [Bridge] If the gods look down Let them see me run With a mortal heart And a stolen sun I don’t want peace I want my name Etched in the smoke And out the flame [Final Chorus] I’m a half-blood knife Cutting through the night Half in the sky Half with the fight I’m a half-blood knife Try me, I survive (half-blood knife) I was born to bite I’m a half-blood knife Still alive tonight (half-blood knife) Still alive tonight
