Question
itachi-san
The following verses each have an individual answer. They are all also related. What does each verse represent and what is the common theme?
1) Standing tall, old and proud
Symbolic of Hades' prickly shroud
2) The bright stand out and clearly show
A wind above the town below
3) Raised in Italy, brought to France
Now almost everywhere I dance
On pendants and patches
Uniforms and Flags
Artistically, I am thusly enhanced
4) Though not as wicked as death
I bare the same name
We do both end lives
Our tools are the same
5) Now that the sun has dipped below the horizon
There's an eatery of sorts, that I've got my eyes on
With a patio and chairs I can sit outside on
