Living Tombstone It's Been So Long Lyrics

[Verse]
I dunno what I was thinking [Rest]
Leaving my child behind [Rest]
Now I suffer the curse and now I am
blind [Rest]
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

[Half Note Rest]

[Verse]
Is this revenge I am seeking [Rest]
Or seeking someone to avenge me [Rest]
Stuck in my paradox I wanna set myself
free [Rest]
Maybe I should chase and find
Before they'll try to stop it
It won't be long before I become a
puppet

[Half Note Rest]

[Chorus]
It's been so long [Rest]
Since I last have seen my son
Lost to this monster [Rest]
To the man behind the slaughter [Rest]
Since you've been gone [Rest]
I've been singing this stupid song
So I could ponder
The sanity of your mother

[Half Note Rest] [Verse]
I wish I lived in the present [Rest]
With the gift of my past mistakes [Rest]
But the future keeps luring in like a
pack of snakes [Rest]
Your sweet little eyes, your little
smile
Is all I remember [Rest]
Those fuzzy memories mess with my temper

[Half Note Rest]

[Verse]
Justification is killing me [Rest]
But killing itsnt justified [Rest]
What happened to my son, I'm terrified
[Rest]
It lingers in my mind and
the thought keeps on getting bigger
I'm sorry my sweet baby, I wish I've
been there

[Half Note Rest]

[Chorus]
It's been so long [Rest]
Since I last have seen my son
Lost to this monster[Rest]
To the man behind the slaughter[Rest]
Since you've been gone [Rest]
I've been singing this stupid song
So I could ponder
The sanity of your mother
