Been a Long Time Lyrics
The death, the lies, in lies the truth
All that it is, what was, ain't true
I was down but now I can see
The pain, the hurt, the misery
Oh lord, its been a long time
Doin' my best, I'll try to get it next time
This cross you bare, I've come to carry for you
This cross you bare, I've come to break it in two
I was down but now I can see
The pain, the hurt, the misery
All that it is, what was, ain't true
I was down but now I can see
The pain, the hurt, the misery
Doin' my best, I'll try to get it next time
This cross you bare, I've come to break it in two
I was down but now I can see
The pain, the hurt, the misery

As I'm writing this comment, Mafia is their most recent album, and it is the most up-beat in their discography. So, I think this song means it's been a long time since he's felt proud and truly happy.
It sounds to me as if he is dissapointed in christianity, he now knows the truth and is free from it.
Mafia Was A Kick Ass Album Lots Of Great Songs Its A Good Album To Own
I totally agree with Prometh but I don't get the whole thing about the cross though?
The Cross is basically .. .. You know. 'This Cross You Bear I've Come To Carry For You, This Cross You Bear I've come to break it in two'
