My Own Legend

Modern hard rock, heavy bass, powerful electric guitars, defiant female vocals

V5.5

[Intro]
[building synth pad, lone clean guitar, distant drums]

[Verse 1]
[restrained male vocal, intimate]
They handed me a blueprint, said "color in the lines"
A factory of copies all marching into time
But something in my chest beat a rhythm of its own
A spark that wouldn't settle for a life already known

[Pre-Chorus]
[drums tighten, energy lifts]
So I tore up all the pages, let 'em scatter in the wind
This is where the story of a different life begins

[Chorus]
[full band, anthemic, soaring lead vocal, gang vocal backing]
This is my own legend, gonna carve it into stone
Burn a light out of the fire that is mine and mine alone
Not a shadow, not a copy 
I am going to be bold
This is my own legend, and I'm breaking from the mold

[Verse 2]
[full energy, confident vocal]
Every hand I lift another, every wall I help to fall
I'm not chasing fame or fortune, I just want to give my all
There's a million ways to matter that a crowd will never see
So I plant the kind of garden that outlives the likes of me

[Pre-Chorus]
[building intensity]
And I won't ask for permission, won't apologize for fire
I was never built for average
I was built to climb up higher

[Bridge]
[strip back, vocal-forward, swelling underneath]
No one walks the road I'm walking, no one sings the song I sing
Every scar became a story, every doubt became a wing
I don't need the world to crown me, I don't need them to believe
The legend isn't handed down 
It's something you achieve

[Guitar solo]

[Final Chorus]
[key change up, gang vocals, biggest moment, powerful belt]
This is my own legend, gonna carve it into stone
Burn a light out of the fire that is mine and mine alone
Not a shadow, not a copy 
I am going to be bold
This is my own legend, and I'm breaking from the mold

[Outro]
[anthem fades, final ringing guitar]
This is my own legend... 
Yeah, my own legend.
