I can't believe this never occurred to me before, but I was listening to one of my favorite *slightly* underground (unsigned) artists, Celldweller, in particular their song "The Last Firstborn," and I was reading the lyrics...when it hit me. These lyrics describe the relationship between Sasuke and his brother, Itachi, so perfectly.
For those of you who don't know the anime, Naruto (which I highly recommend downloading), Sasuke is the only survivor from the Uchiha clan. His older brother, Itachi, murdered everyone in the clan just to see if he could, leaving Sasuke alone and alive. Sasuke is, of course, a very dark and depressing boy...an avenger. A main character who is...wow.
Go download some episodes now.
Anyway, this would be a video focusing on the relationship between the two brothers. Of course, it couldn't be completed per se because the anime hasn't been completed (nor has this storyline), but it would still be awesome for now.
As for the lyrics...this is Celldweller's "The Last Firstborn." It's a long song with lots of techno beats (good for special effects and such), and several repeated choruses. The verses are fast and vicious, and the song has many moods. It's over 7 minutes long. I challenge someone to take this...
=======================================
oh man, i can't believe that you did what they said
you did and to this day i've still gotta say that in
my mind i question it i wish i knew what you had
meant before you went and left me wondering to
just an echo of your voice 'listen...'
now i wait to take my turn to bleed like a kid playing
with a razorblade and wonder if i have the
balls at all or am i gonna be afraid where are
you? what do you think? cuz i'm not sure when
knocking at death's door if i will be welcome in
or be left alone outside
i hear the sound of a heart
from the shadow in the dark
waiting for the poison to hit its mark
(listen--my son) i see the darkness
surround the shape on the ground the
killer straight up and a body face
down (firstborn-last one) i hear the
din of the screams, sorrow in streams
the smell of farewell and gasoline
(listen--my son) i see a heart set free
and my legacy hear a voice from a
shadow that is beckoning me
(firstborn-last one)
i guess there comes a point when you
think to yourself "this isn't worth it, it
isn't worth it" and now i feel what you felt inside
brother and now i feel what you felt
this isn't worth it, it isn't worth it i
wish it didn't end this way live a life in
hell through a mortal shell asphyxiating
smell for a crime lifetime imagination
locked in a cell and to the other
firstborn, i see the same scene that
must play over in your mind and now
how much more i'm sure it's fucked with
your head just like it's fucked up mine.
"listen my son-firstborn last one"
the message you sent out to me-i can't
change what's meant to be
=======================================
Anyone else who has watched the Naruto series will probably know what I'm talking about as they read through the lyrics. If anyone wants the song or some of the series (or directions to get it), I'll be more than happy to provide them.

) but it'll at least be a tickle in my brain. Plus the song looks cool and stuff.
