[Intro] (Bright, driving acoustic guitar picking with a warm, pulsing retro 80s synth) [Verse 1] [Single female vocal] A ring of stones on the mountain side Where we buried the secrets we tried to hide We built a fortress to keep out the cold But safety gets heavy when you’re growing old [Verse 2] [Dual female harmonies enter] The wind is howling through the valley floor And I can’t keep living behind this door We swore an oath under a crescent moon But the winter came early, way too soon [Pre-Chorus] [Building tempo and tension] Oh, the shadows are whispering, calling my name But I’m so tired of playing this waiting game (Harmonies layering up) It's time to break what we held so tight [Chorus] [Explosive driving beat] [Soaring female duo harmonies] Step out of the circle, step into the wild The Cerchio Sacro Challenge of a restless child! We run through the fire, we shatter the stone Into the beautiful, blinding unknown! (Driving rhythmic acoustic guitar) [Verse 3] [Single female vocal with acoustic guitar strum] The golden threads that used to bind our hands Are unraveling now into the shifting sands I hear the echo of a distant drum Asking who on earth we have become [Chorus] [Soaring female duo harmonies] Step out of the circle, step into the wild The Cerchio Sacro Challenge of a restless child! We run through the fire, we shatter the stone Into the beautiful, blinding unknown! [Bridge] [Music strips back, soft piano and deep cello focus] [Whispered duo harmonies] We built the cage, we held the key... Now we challenge the sacred just to set us free. (Beat drops back in, heavy building synths and acoustic strums) Yeah, we challenge it all to set us free! [Chorus] [Maximum energy] [Soaring female duo harmonies] Step out of the circle, step into the wild The Cerchio Sacro Challenge of a restless child! We run through the fire, we shatter the stone Into the beautiful, blinding unknown! [Outro] [Acoustic guitar and lush vocal harmonies fading] Out of the circle... Lord, take me home... Into the unknown... [End]
