[Verse 1]
Mask on the mirror
Blood on the crest
He wore the blame
So the kids could rest
Hands full of silence
Eyes full of fire
He burned his own name
To keep us higher
Walked through the smoke
Like it owed him pain
He took the whole curse
And kept our frame
They called him a monster
But I saw the truth
A blade in the dark
For the sake of the youth
[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t you look away
Read between the lies
He carried the night
So we could see skies
Every scar he wore
Was a wall we got
Every hate they threw
Missed the last shot
[Chorus]
Itachi, Itachi
They got it wrong
Itachi, Itachi
You stayed that long
Save the village
Take the blame
Crow in the ash
They won’t say your name
Itachi, Itachi
Still hear that tone
Itachi, Itachi
You walked alone
[Verse 2]
Brother in the dark
With a fire in his chest
Had to play the villain
Just to do what’s best
Every step he took
Was a goodbye he hid
Every wound he took
Was for the kids
No applause for the one
Who gave up his crown
No one saw him hold
The whole world down
But I know that look
When the night gets thin
He was built like loss
With a war within
[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t you look away
Read between the lies
He carried the night
So we could see skies
Every scar he wore
Was a wall we got
Every hate they threw
Missed the last shot
[Chorus]
Itachi, Itachi
They got it wrong
Itachi, Itachi
You stayed that long
Save the village
Take the blame
Crow in the ash
They won’t say your name
Itachi, Itachi
Still hear that tone
Itachi, Itachi
You walked alone
[Bridge]
If love is a crime
Then charge me too
He made that choice
For me and you
I see the crown
I see the pain
The hero’s buried
Under their rain
[Final Chorus]
Itachi, Itachi
They got it wrong
Itachi, Itachi
You stayed that long
Save the village
Take the blame
Crow in the ash
We speak your name
Itachi, Itachi
Still hear that tone
Itachi, Itachi
You walked alone
