Text reads:
I grew up a woods guide surrounded by my family / I grew up as the feared heir, surrounded by ill prophecy
I am Panis Rahl's son
I chose to take up the Sword of Truth and stand against Rahl / I chose to protect myself by strengthening my empire
What else should I have done?
I long to be surrounded by love, part of a family once more / I long to be safe and loved, finally part of a family
Is that so much to ask?
I am the Seeker / I am the Tyrant
What choice did I have?
