Itachi’s Sacrifice

Lyrics

[Intro] Self sacrifice A true shinobi does not set out to seek glory They protect from the shadows, that is the mark of a true ninja [Verse 1] As a child that saw men have died And their death on the line as I question why But then I find that I'll sever ties Jealous guys, never friends of mine In disguise, never meant to cry See the crows fly, 'cause I'm dead inside Yes, I lied with regret in mind Said it once when I said goodbye Made them pledge you'd be left alive Or my Tsukoyomi gonna petrify Intentions, unidentified Let you despise with the reddest eyes Sacrifice, so I rectify So you don't have to end the life Of a loved one to prevent strife Sorry, Sasuke Maybe next time [Hook] He asked "why, Itachi?" And I lied through my teeth 'Cause Sasuke I'm watching From behind Akatsuki So just mind Kakashi And no one could stop me From what's right for my team This whole time, you taught me The truth sets you all free And Shisui, I'm sorry But your eyes will guide me In this life I'm fighting [Itachi] To live life being hated, that's one life for a ninja I'll always be there, like a wall you need to climb over Even if it means being hated That's what big brothers are for [Verse 2] Show me all the hatred I brought you I'm fanning all the flames with the Amaterasu You thinking I'm insane, but it's only a costume Like Izanami pain when you learnin' the hard truth Is it real or fake? A genjutsu, you got fooled Your curse, I'll take from Orochimaru Living to die by my brother Show me why you had struggled If you want to fight, my rebuttal Is a cycle of torture for your mind, no recover But your lightning is coming from behind So I'm summoning the fire as a punishinment for crimes to our mother I was blind to your troubles, so I'm dying A Susano'o against your attacks Your chakra's low, you stepping back While the blood flows from my weapon rack My Mangekyo will then collapse But before I go, I'll set a trap when he says the facts [Itachi] Forgive me, Sasuke But this is it [Hook] He asked "why, Itachi?" And I lied through my teeth 'Cause Sasuke I'm watching From behind the false screen Now go back to Hidden Leaf And no one could stop me From what's right for my team This whole time, you taught me The truth sets you all free And Shisui, I'm sorry But your eyes will guide him In this life, he's fighting [Itachi] I wanted you to grow up and judge me I deserve to be dealt with only by another Uchiha And so, I took advantage of the hatred inside you That's why I failed [Verse 3] I'ma show you one last time Before my soul goes back to paradise 'Cause Kabuto is actin' out of line So help me close this shadow in the light Vowed to hold Leaf Village up high And that's including you, so don't deny War broke out despite how hard I tried But you're all right no matter what the plight I know that I failed to keep you by my side But what is a village, only you can decide What is a village, only you can decide [Hook] He asked "why, Itachi?" As I float from body 'Cause Sasuke I'm watching From behind the pure land So go back to your team And no one could stop me From what's right for Hidden Leaf This whole time, you taught me The truth sets you all free [Outro] And whatever you do from here on out, know this: No matter what, I will love you always
