About this song
The healer's hands are closed into a fist. To save the multiverse, Ajani must become the monster he buried long ago. He asks you where it hurts, not to mend the wound, but to know exactly where to swing the axe.
Lyrics
[Verse 1] Up, cadets. The wasteland will not clear itself. Two heads on the chain, and both of them are hungry. I never learned your gentle hands, your salves, your quiet words. I learned it like a pride learns. I learned it from the front. [Verse 2] I swung past a statue and I took its finger off, and I never broke my stride, and I never looked back. You look at me like I'm a wound you'd like to close, healer. I'm the part of you that never had to learn. [Pre-Chorus] Mercy is a lesson. Somebody has to lose to learn it. [Chorus] Tell me where it hurts, so I know where to swing. Tell me where it hurts, I'll make it the only thing. You kneel to heal the fallen. I step across them first. Tell me where it hurts. [Verse 3] The fire girl caught me in the maze, and I smelled my own fur burn. I came back for the ending, to the tower and the dead man on the floor. The gorgon only had to look at me. Stone came up my mane, and I was snarling when it closed. [Chorus] Tell me where it hurts, so I know where to swing. Tell me where it hurts, I'll make it the only thing. You kneel to heal the fallen. I step across them first. Tell me where it hurts. [Outro] Tell me where it hurts. Stone doesn't.
