My Origin Story

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Ha

Verse 1

Born beneath a winter moon

When the frost adorned the pane

My mother's voice a trembling tune

She named me through the falling rain

The candlelight it flickered low

Across the faces drawn and grey

A stranger's hand the cord did sever

I entered worlds of night and day

Pre-Chorus

Oh the paths I did not choose

Oh the roads that made me

Every wound and every bruise

Carved the man you see

Chorus

This is my origin story

Written in my bones and breath

From the ash of childhood glory

Risen from the depths of death

This is my origin story

Echoed through the halls of time

Every scar a testament

Every note a mountain climb

Verse 2

My father's hands were rough with toil

He taught me how to hold the plough

But whispered secrets of the soil

And songs that only old men know

I left that valley young and blind

With nothing but a tattered coat

The city streets were cruel and kind

I sold my voice to stay afloat

Pre-Chorus

Oh the hunger in my chest

Oh the fire in my veins

I built my castle from the rest

And fortified through pains

Chorus

This is my origin story

Written in my bones and breath

From the ash of childhood glory

Risen from the depths of death

This is my origin story

Echoed through the halls of time

Every scar a testament

Every note a mountain climb

Bridge

And when the final curtain falls

When silence takes the empty halls

I'll stand upon my highest height

And sing my name into the night

For I am not the man they made

Not the broken nor the frayed

I am the chorus and the choir

I am the ember and the fire

Of every voice that came before

Of every shut and beaten door

I rise I rise I rise again

The author of my own Amen

Chorus

This is my origin story

Written in my bones and breath

From the ash of childhood glory

Risen from the depths of death

This is my origin story

Echoed through the halls of time

Every scar a testament

Every note a mountain climb

Mm

Ah

Ah

Verse 3

From the ashes I have gathered gold

From the wreckage I have learned to sing

Every story that my fathers told

Rings within the chapel of my being

I crossed the mountains and the seas

I wore the scars of every fight

But in the silence, on my knees

I found the truth beyond the night

Pre-Chorus

Oh the glory and the grief

Oh the triumph and the loss

Every thorn became a leaf

Every wave became a cross

Chorus

This is my origin story

Written in my bones and breath

From the ash of childhood glory

Risen from the depths of death

This is my origin story

Echoed through the halls of time

Every scar a testament

Every note a mountain climb

Verse 4

A kingdom built on borrowed stone

Can crumble in a single hour

But what I carry is my own

A heart distilled by sacred power

I sang for kings in marble halls

I wept for peasants in the mud

But every time the curtain falls

I rise again through fire and flood

Pre-Chorus

Oh the mercy and the might

Oh the burden and the bloom

I have walked through endless night

And found the sun inside the tomb

Chorus

This is my origin story

Written in my bones and breath

From the ash of childhood glory

Risen from the depths of death

This is my origin story

Echoed through the halls of time

Every scar a testament

Every note a mountain climb

Bridge

And should they ask me who I am

I'll tell them of the wandering lamb

Who found his way through crooked roads

And carried heaven's heaviest loads

I am the pilgrim and the priest

I am the banquet and the feast

I am the sword and I am the shield

I am the truth the ages yield

Final Chorus

This is my origin story

Written in my bones and breath

From the ash of childhood glory

Risen from the depths of death

This is my origin story

Echoed through the halls of time

Every scar a testament

Every note a mountain climb
