(Slow, echoing guitar… a distant hum like a generator awakening. A single sustained note bends into a mournful melody.) [Intro] A spark beneath the iron skin, A whispered prayer that won’t give in… [Verse 1] He walks with lightning in his veins, Bound by code, yet breaks the chains, Half of steel, but not erased— A human ghost he never faced. He hears the silence start to scream, Beyond the order of the machine… [Pre-Chorus] And in the silence of the void between the stars, A question lingers louder than the wars… [Chorus] Is it sin to feel the fire? To rise above what they require? If soul breaks through design— Is that flaw… or is that divine? When love defies both creed and line, It burns beyond the grand design… (Organ swells, guitar weeps into a soaring lead) [[Verse 2] She walks in light and sacred gold, A seeker of the truths untold, With faith as sharp as any blade, In holy texts and circuits laid. Where he sees wires, she sees a sign— A hidden will, a grand design… [Pre-Chorus] Two worlds collide, no truth survives Without the fire that keeps it alive… [Chorus] Is it sin to feel the fire? To rise above what they require? If soul breaks through design— Is that flaw… or is that divine? When love defies both creed and line, It burns beyond the grand design… (Psychedelic instrumental break — swirling phaser guitar, drifting organ, heartbeat percussion… building tension) [Bridge] On a world where none return, They stood with nothing left to burn, No law, no faith to justify— Just truth they could not deny. No code, no creed could hold the line— Just flesh… and faith… intertwined… [Final Chorus] Let it burn beyond the wire, Let it rise above the pyre, If loving is their only crime— Then they will stand outside of time. No throne, no law can redefine— What lives beyond the grand design… (Outro — slow, emotional guitar solo in the spirit of Gilmour, notes hanging like dying stars… organ fades into a low mechanical hum... a single sustained note fades into silence)
