The song I chose was Time of Dying but I kind of bent the meaning of the song to better fit the picture.
Anyways, the most inspirational part of the song for this piece was "I will not die, I will survive". Akaya has been ambushed by a larger stray catching him by surprise. He nearly meets his fate lying "motionless in pain" and bleeding out. A fire in him burns "I will not die, I will survive" as he gains consciousness and rage carries his will to live and fight back.
"On the ground I lay motionless in pain
I can see my life flashing before my eyes
Did I fall asleep, is this all a dream
Wake me up, I'm living a nightmare
I will not die
(I will not die)
I will survive
I will not die, I'll wait here for you
I feel alive, when you're beside me
I will not die, I'll wait here for you
In my time of dying
On this bed I lay, losing everything
I can see my life passing me by
Was it all too much or just not enough
Wake me up, I'm living a nightmare
I will not die
(I will not die)
I will survive
I will not die, I'll wait here for you
I feel alive, when you're beside me
I will not die, I'll wait here for you
In my time of dying
I will not die, I'll wait here for you
I feel alive, when you're beside me
I will not die, I'll wait here for you
In my time of dying
I will not die, I'll wait here for you
I will not die, when you're beside me
I will not die, I'll wait here for you
In my time of dying"
