Just For You, Otouto
Warm blood still dripping
Drop by drop from my katana
Time keeps ticking
Ticking as I stood waiting.
Waiting for my brother,
My foolish little brother
Readying, steadying, breaking
On the inside.
Mangekyou activated,
Sasuke drops to the floor,
Screaming and writhing in agony
Screaming for me to stop.
My heart aching with pain
As tears roll down his face
His face showing fear
Fear of me.
Run, run, foolish little brother
Cling on to life
Live in obscurity
And someday come to kill me.
Rid me of this guilt,
Become a hero
Go back with honour
And leave your past behind.
Leaving my body, my soul
Behind in your wake
Never knowing the sacrifices I made
Just for you.
The pain of knowing
That you will never know
How much your Nii-san
Really loves you.
I'm willing to give up everything,
My past, present and future with you.
All just for you
Always for you
Only for you
Just for you, otouto
