Opeth - A Story Never Told Lyrics

A Story Never Told Lyrics by Opeth

A story never told
A child in for surprise
A mother’s heart on hold
A father well disguised

There is a road that leads to home
In stories never told

A story never told
A man that saved a child
His withered heart on hold
Beating for a lie

There is a road that leads to home
In stories never told

Now just a name in soon-forgotten tales
In guileful circles of the past

A story never told
And waiting in the skies
A man’s withered heart on hold
His heiress wears a stranger’s eyes
