I'm not afraid

Description

A picture of Anders from dragon age, inspired by the swedish song "Aldrig mera rädd" by Loke Nyberg.

Took me between 2-3 hours and I used this as a ref for the pose: [link]

Roughly translated lyrics:

I fled like a bird over the streets one night
with a mouth full of blood and saliva.
I fled as I usually do like a rat from a cat;
humbled, humiliated, for my life.

The night was filled with violence and insane screams
from those who chased me with big, heavy steps.
"Better to flee than fence poorly" my mind screamed in panic
while my heart repeated the word "coward".

And with my chicken-hearted speed they came soon after
but through the fear my heart cried like possessed:
That "if you flee this way, it is only right that it is they who put the conditions tonight"

And I do not know what happened, what steered my decision,
because all I saw was rage, violence and blood.
But the moment I was about to manage escaping them at last
I stopped in the step where I stood.

In a second they caught up to me as I slowly turned around.
They came towards me like a flood, like a storm.
And though the night sky was white with their rage when they arrived,
they all wore dark looks and uniform.

And all was still for a second, and I was trembling like a dog.
The heart in my chest seemed to explode with every beat.
They came to me in a circle and I understood nothing,
but the moment that my legs gave in, I heard myself stand and scream:

I. I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid. No, I'm not afraid.
For no matter how hard you can hit I will be harder still,
and the hatred that comes from you, you get back five times.
But I. I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid. No, I'm not afraid.
For each of us that is killed a thousand new will be born
to stand here bloody and burned and singed, destroyed but never scared.

Because I'll be everything you hate. All that you fear the most.
Everything you find unpleasant, abnormal.
I'll spread through the country like a plague, a blight and infect your society completely.
Yes, for you I'll be the nigga, Yugoslavian, Kosovar Albanian.
For you, I am from Uzbekistan.
With hip-hop styled burqa with scimitar, turban.
Your Russian mafia and your Taliban.

I'll consider it a victory if you see me as a negro.
HIV-carrying, Cat-chewing black.
I steal bikes jobs and chicks. I am the Jew amongst Jews.
I am ZOG and I am everywhere, but you do not know where.

You guessed right, yes, of course. Damn right I am your communist.
Stali-Leni-Trotski-Mao-Anarchist.
Perverted satanist. Armed animal rights activist.
And indeed, I will be your castration feminist.

I'm your social parasite. Handicapped transvestite.
I am homeless and drunk and high.
Rastafari and vegan, sex operated lesbian.
Oh my god, I will happily be your fag.

Yes, it's me you will hate. This night on this street.
Just come! I am the enemy of every type and kind.
For if ordinary means to be something of what you are,
and share your ideals then I will never ever be normal! But I.

I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid. No, I'm not afraid.
For no matter how hard you can hit I will be harder still,
and the hatred that comes from you, you get back five times.
But I. I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid. No, I'm not afraid.
For each of us that is killed a thousand new will be born
to stand here bloody and burned and singed, destroyed but never scared.

You can probably guess how it ended, I had no chance.
It became emotional scars and twenty four stitches.
And a siren screaming journey in a hysterical ambulance
and a hospital visit of four days.

But I can hardly remember what happened, I can hardly remember that they beat
or they stomped on the little that remained.
I just remember I lay bleeding and aching and smiling like the sun,
and as the winner that I was.

And with the street to my ear I seemed to hear the pulse of the city and its deep breaths.
Then I heard a song from each port and staircase.
Yes, it was like the ground started rocking and I heard the city singing:

I. I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid. No, I'm not afraid.
For no matter how hard you can hit I will be harder still,
and the hatred that comes from you, you get back five times.
But I. I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid. No, I'm not afraid.
For each of us that is killed a thousand new will be born
to stand here bloody and burned and singed, destroyed but never scared.
