We were born into this cursed clan

To be blind was determined as our fate

You were blinded by right deeds, brother

I was blinded by love and hate


For once why did you not tell me,

The turmoil you lived through

Was I too weak, too soft, and too young?

For you to share the pain you knew


The pain that left us orphaned,

The pain that made you choose one-

Our wretched home or our family,

The pain whose wounds cant be undone


For my safety you turned to darkness

Not that you didn't love the village, you loved me more

You become a criminal to make me a hero

And restore through me the clan's respect you bore


My life is carved by you brother

I live all these years at your whim

I grew on distrust, on the ruins of your words

Knowing the outcome would be grim


But why did you make me hate

The only one I love, I pride?

Those hands which longed to ruffle my hair

Are the reasons my wounds wept and cried


These eyes of mine were your pedestal

I used them today to have you slain

Even the last time, you touched my forehead

I couldn't see the redemption or the riddance of that pain


They say I'm a goal-less avenger

But your sacrifices I cannot let go waste

You lived knowing your brother despised you

Yet your thoughts so pure, your intentions so chaste


I cannot follow your footsteps Itachi

They sold you and on your grave they stay so calm

Though I'm the messenger of your death, they caused it

I will tear those cowards' souls, the ones who caused you harm


I know my life seeks no redemption

I will be strong as you pleased me to be

Should it lead to my death, should it burn my priciest bonds

They are nothing compared to what you mean to me


They made you cry and your tears alone

Can stir in me the anger of hell

Watch me Itachi avenge you, erase your hurt

"I'm with you" that's all I want you to tell

Farewell my brother, farewell…
