Intro
(Soft, haunting guitar)
In the dark… I carry the sin,
So you can live… and grow again.
Verse 1
Born beneath the Uchiha flame,
A prodigy cursed with a knowing brain,
While others dreamed of pride and war,
I saw the blood that was coming ashore.
Brother’s laugh in the fading light,
Small hand gripping mine so tight,
If innocence could stop the blade,
I would’ve burned the world to keep you safe.
Pre-Chorus
I learned too young what peace would cost,
A future saved, a soul long lost,
So I chose the path no one could see,
And carved my name in infamy.
Chorus
I became the villain so you could live,
Bore every sin the world could give,
Sasuke, my brother, my final prayer,
Was that you’d grow strong not knowing why I cared.
I drowned in shadows, let hatred bloom,
So you’d have the strength to protect those you choose,
Call me a monster, curse my name,
I’d do it again through the endless pain.
Verse 2
Crimson nights and silent screams,
A massacre haunting my dreams,
Every face carved into my sight,
Every step farther from the light.
The village sleeps because I bled,
Peace was bought with the lives I shed,
I walked alone where crows still cry,
Living a lie so you wouldn’t die.
Pre-Chorus
Every breath was a punishment,
Every heartbeat paid with regret,
But if hatred was the price I’d pay,
Then I’d wear it until my final day.
Chorus
I became the villain so you could live,
Bore every sin the world could give,
Sasuke, my brother, my living flame,
I carried the blame so you’d rise in my name.
I stood in darkness, played the foe,
So one day you’d surpass me, grow,
Strike me down if that’s your fate,
My love for you was never fake.
Bridge (Breakdown)
I loved you more than words could say,
That’s why I pushed you far away,
If you hate me, then I’ve won,
Because that means you’ll never be undone.
Behind these eyes, behind this mask,
Was a brother bearing the hardest task,
Not a hero, not a saint,
Just a man drowning in restraint.
Verse 3
When my body failed and my time ran thin,
I smiled through tears I kept within,
Tapped your forehead like when we were kids,
One last truth I never said…
Forgive me, brother, this was my way,
To protect tomorrow by dying today.
Final Chorus (Emotional, Soaring)
I became the villain so you could rise,
Carried hell behind my eyes,
Sasuke Uchiha, live unchained,
Be stronger than the life I gained.
I gave my name to endless night,
So you could stand and choose what’s right,
My past will haunt me, scar my soul,
But my love for you made me whole.
Outro
(Soft, fading)
If peace was born from my despair,
Then every sin was worth the tear…
I was never your enemy—
I was your brother… always.
