A music video utilizing Time of Dying by Three Days Grace.
- As requested by: Lance1nf, archie mills and Malik Parks.

This one concentrates on a quote from Halo Legends Prototype:
"I need you to be strong...Strong enough to do something you've never done in your life...Can you be strong enough to allow yourself to be - Can you just be human?!"

While the quote is not directly tied to the song's meaning, I felt that it fits well enough with the lyrics. Rather than describing the quote, I believe it's describing the storyline of Prototype.

"On the ground I lay, motionless in pain.", that's the beginning. Then "I will not die", when "Ghost" survives against wave after wave of Covenant. Then he dies, which is his "time of dying". I like to think that the rest of the lyrics are his thoughts during the battle.

====================================
LYRICS:
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
