[Intro – Calm, almost whispering] I’m not your enemy, Itachi. Not here to fight you. Just here to speak the things you wouldn’t. [Verse 1 – Empathetic, subtle tone] You moved through shadows, called it grace, Never let truth show its face. A hero’s burden, behind the scenes— But silence poisoned all your means. Killed your clan, said it was love, Left your brother the blade and shove. A boy with grief stitched into skin— All for peace… that never begins. [Mini-Chorus – Light but cutting] You saved a war, sure… but shattered a name. You wore the mask. He bore the flame. [Verse 2 – Slightly firmer, still calm] You gave him pain, called it strength, Let him chase you full life’s length. You could’ve stayed, said one word— Instead you vanished, unheard. He thought you a monster, because you let him. He lived in revenge, because you fed him. You feared the truth… more than the sword. So you wrote a myth—and called it yours. [Mini-Chorus – Light but cutting] You saved a war, sure… but shattered a name. You wore the mask. He bore the flame. [Chorus – Exposing but poetic] Itachi the ghost, Itachi the saint, But truth don’t care ‘bout your noble paint. You made a deal with the devil in leaf, And fed your brother a life of grief. You were the storm before the calm, But you taught revenge with an open palm. You call it duty, call it fate— I call it silence… that sealed his hate. [Mini-Chorus – Light but cutting] “You chose alone…” “You wore the mask…” “You left the boy…” “He bore the task…” “You said it’s love… you said he’s strong…” “But all this time… you got it wrong.” [Verse – Light but cutting] You weren’t the martyr. Just afraid. Of what Sasuke might do if the truth stayed. You loved him, sure. But love’s not lies— And you watched him break while wearing disguise. You had time. You had a choice. But left him chasing a hollow voice. Now I clean up the blood you left behind— And still… you think it was kind? [Mini-Chorus – Light but cutting] You saved a war, sure… but shattered a name. You wore the mask. He bore the flame. [Final Chorus – Calm but full of weight] Itachi the wise, Itachi the gray, But wisdom don’t make the pain go away. You wrote the script, then played the ghost, While your brother burned for what hurt most. You were the silence before the scream, The nightmare dressed like a dream. Call it sacrifice, call it brave— But Sasuke still visits your empty grave. [Hook– Light but cutting] You saved a war, sure… but shattered a name. You wore the mask. He bore the flame. [Outro– Light but cutting] “You chose alone…” “You wore the mask…” “You left the boy…” “He bore the task…” “You said it’s love… you said he’s strong…” “But all this time… you got it wrong.” [Mini-Chorus – Light but cutting] You saved a war, sure… but shattered a name. You wore the mask. He bore the flame. You had the time, You had a choice, You were the storm before the calm. But truth is clear, regards the means. [Chorus – Exposing but poetic] Itachi the ghost, Itachi the saint, But truth don’t care ‘bout your noble paint. You made a deal with the devil in leaf, And fed your brother a life of grief. You were the storm before the calm, But you taught revenge with an open palm. You call it duty, call it fate— I call it silence… that sealed his hate. [Mini-Chorus – Light but cutting] “You chose alone…” “You wore the mask…” “You left the boy…” “He bore the task…” “You said it’s love… you said he’s strong…” “But all this time… you got it wrong.” [Verse – Light but cutting] You weren’t the martyr.
