05 - FIRE IN THE COURTYARD (B)

[Intro – Low Female Voice] Bring it out. Do not hide it. [Percussion Build] [Verse 1] No walls around the rhythm. No lock around the sound. Every step becomes an answer. Every pulse shakes the ground. [Pre-Hook] Do not hold it. Do not name it. Let the heat move through the room. [Hook] Bring the fire into the open. Bring the fire into the light. Step into the circle. Leave the shadow for the night. Bring the fire into the open. Let the rhythm take its place. No wall between the bodies. No distance in this space. [Extended Peak Groove] [Spoken Commands] Step in. Stay close. No fear. No walls. Hold the rhythm. Drop the weight. Enter slowly. Do not wait. [Verse 2] The stone is warm beneath our footsteps. The air is moving through the flame. Nobody asks where we are going. Nobody needs to know a name. [Pre-Hook] No shadow without heat. No rhythm without feet. [Hook] Bring the fire into the open. Bring the fire into the light. Step into the circle. Leave the shadow for the night. Bring the fire into the open. Let the rhythm take its place. No wall between the bodies. No distance in this space. [Percussion Break] [Female – Spoken] No walls. No borders. No silence between the drums. Bring what you carried through the darkness. Bring what you are. Bring what you have become. [Final Hook – Repeated] Bring the fire into the open. Bring the fire into the light. Bring the fire into the open. We are ready for the night. [Outro] Into the open. Into the open. Into the night.
