Fallen From Grace (Itachi)

I did not hope for forgiveness, I live for the hope that I'll see you again
Now that I'm plagued with this sickness, stitching my time like a needle and thread
I know my morals been shifted, all of my life is a means to an end
I know your image is twisted my story's been told, and I'm reading the dead
We gotta live with mistakes and decisions
I don't need the book, but the way that it's written
We're not Shinobis, we're slaves to a system
They tell us a lie that we're making a difference
There is no changing the fate that we're given
I harden my heart, but there's stains in my vision
Spilling their blood before making them listen
I do what I must, and I'm breaking traditions
'Cause I paint it crimson, gone in an instance
Life is war, but I deal with the symptoms
On the floor, now they fell to extinction
Nothing more than to help with the mission
I've been drowning in the burdens of commitment
Hoping there's a purpose to existence
There is no returning for the victims
Now I'm just a person in the distance

I know you feel all the pain I've caused
But you don't have to worry anymore
I feel the breeze of a time long gone
And I know it's difficult to close the door

But time can't go backwards
You're just gotta keep on
Pushing on and succeed
Though you and I were fractured
It won't matter 'cause I've
Given all of me
So don't cry
When I leave
I'll forever be
Within your eyes
Though I am free
I have fallen from grace this time

Fallen from grace, I'm in a watering grave
Thought we were saved
I got no justice for all of this pain
Time passes by, but it's more of the same
Left behind with no mortal remains
Let it die as we walk to the grave
In my mind like an audiotape
Given time, it all falls into place
See, I'm sorry for the path that I have chosen
Unravelled through the tapestry I've woven
Strange how nothing mattered in the moment
Now, the ties of family are broken
Change the fact the plan is put in motion
Now, they acting angry with the postman
Numb my heart to handle my emotions
Knowing that the damage is an omen
We change, but our methods are shallow
Betrayed, and then sent to the gallows
Though I had a life, made the sacrifice
Seek fame, I protect in the shadows
We prayed to a heavenly body
Laid down a path of mistakes in my folly
Keep safe 'cause I'm making them worry
Maybe next time I can say that I'm sorry

But time can't go backwards
You're just gotta keep on
Pushing on and succeed
Though you and I were fractured
It won't matter 'cause I've
Given all of me
So don't cry
When I leave
I'll forever be
Within your eyes
Though I am free
I have fallen from grace this time

Even 'fore there was blood it was too late for regrets
In the night, I was gone, what can you say to the dead?
I don't mind being shunned, now that my tears run red
Guess it's all out of love now, you're the only one left

I know you feel all the pain I've caused
But you don't have to worry anymore
I feel the breeze of a time long gone
And I know it's difficult to close the door

But time can't go backwards
You're just gotta keep on
Pushing on and succeed
Though you and I were fractured
It won't matter 'cause I've
Given all of me
So don't cry
When I leave
I'll forever be
Within your eyes
Though I am free
I have fallen from grace this time
