Caramon, my brother, someday you will understand

Caramon, my brother, someday you will understand

With all my power I am but a man

I fell prey to my own ambition and wanted so much more

To look down at those who laughed and settle the score

Calling myself a god would have done that for me

Maybe then those who were blind could start to see

I was a frail sickly boy who remained that way

Even after I became the most powerful mage to this day

Their taunts and jeers had hurt me deep inside

Something that I could not make disappear even with my pride

I thought I had found a way to get them back

Teach them the respect that they had lacked

But when I stood at the door to my utmost desire

I found something that I had placed even higher

I had a weak spot, or yes, perhaps two

The beautiful cleric and then there was you

I saw the world how it was going to be

And knew what I wanted could never be

I remember Crysania turning her sightless gaze

And I knew she would forever have a haze

Obscuring her vision for the rest of her time

But I know that her heart will always be mine

I was so foolish, even as I was wise

I considered feelings to be the truest of lies

And though now I am in a world of endless sleep

I realize my mistake and yet I have to keep

Still in this slumber of eternal rest

With only my dreams and unending distress
