Its Been So Long Lyrics

I dunno what I was thinking
Leaving my child behindNow I suffer the curse and now I am blind
With all this anger, guilt and sadness
Coming to haunt me forever
I can't wait for the cliff at the end of the river
Is this revenge I am seeking
Or seeking someone to avenge meStuck in my own paradox
I wanna set myself freeMaybe I should chase and find
Before they'll try to stop itIt won't be long before I'll become a puppet
It's been so long
Since I last have seen my son
Lost to this monster
To the man behind the slaughter
Since you've been gone
I've been singing this stupid song
So I could ponder
The sanity of your mother
I wish I lived in the present

With the gift of my past mistakes
But the future keeps luring in like a pack of snakes
Your sweet little eyes, your little smileIs all I remember
Those fuzzy memories mess with my temper
Justification is killing me
But killing isn't justified
What happened to my son, I'm terrified
It lingers in my mind and the thought keeps getting bigger
I'm sorry my sweet baby, I wish I've been there
It's been so long
Since I last have seen my son
Lost to this monster
To the man behind the slaughter
Since you've been gone
I've been singing this stupid song
So I could ponder
The sanity of your mother
