What's the vision in your head you have of me
You think you know but do you know even half of me
Oh no I don't think so
Well you better make a move 'cause I don't take things slow

You say I'm reckless, you say I oughta be
Much more careful, now and then does the thought of me
From time to time
Catch you off your guard
Have I touched your lonely heart

Look my way
Every dark night ends with day
You know how long I've waited
For you to make up your mind
But it was unanticipated

And unexpected for someone who knows everything
And has plan for every circumstance there'll ever be
Are you thrown for a loop
Go ahead and scowl, but there's a man behind the cowl

You're so reserved, so aloof, so superior
But I could break through that icy exterior
So say it's okay
If I take a look inside will I like what I find

Look my way
Every dark night has its own day
I know how long you've waited
To make up your mind
'Cause it was unanticipated

Unanticipated

You don't know darkness
Does your sun ever set
Are the warning sirens going off
A fitful fistful fever of regret
If I try you on for size
If I meet your emerald eyes
An attraction, a distraction
From all the promises and all the lies

In a better world
Trust in me and I'll make you sure
It's a better life
Soon you'll see when you're by my side
You don't even have to worry
You don't even have to fight
Rest your head in the sunlight
And I'll keep you warm at night

Can I keep you
As a secret just us two
Or lay it bare like I don't care
If anybody, anybody even knows it's you
If I think of all the ways
If I wonder how you'll taste
When you're real and you feel
Warm beneath my touch and worth the wait

In a better world
Trust in me and I'll make you sure
It's a better life
Soon you'll see when you're by my side
You won't ever have to worry
You won't ever have to cry
Rest your head in the sunlight
And don't worry what's wrong or what's right

In a better world
In a better world
It's a better world
It's a better world with you

The Order of the Amulet

Imogen

Make me beg, make me scream
Make me cry, make all my dreams come true
Tie me up, hold me back
Push me down until I crack, it's the least you could do

'Cause I'm a little bit evil for you
And I hope that you're feeling evil for me too
You'd better watch out, 'cause if I get loose
I might murder you, I might murder you

Make me gag, make me pay
Make me suffer in a way only you can do
Rub me raw, keep me weak
In the lessons that you teach me, black and blue

When you punish me where should we start
I swear I didn't mean to fist out a man's heart
Did he deserve it, maybe I do too
I need the pain from you, I need the pain from you

Make it rough, make it stick
If you do it, do it quick against my will
Tell me once, beat me twice
Don't hold back and don't be nice, just hold me still

If you're not careful it'd be a waste
'Cause out of spite, given the chance I'm gonna break your face
Don't patronize me, just say you're cruel
You may have me blindfolded but I'm not a fool
It might get ugly, is that our curse
You and I together, deep until we bleed or something worse
'Cause I'm a little bit evil for you
And I hope that you're feeling evil for me too

Evil

You gave me everything, you set me free
When I was young
But is there a shadow hanging over me
That I just can't outrun
How can I carry on, it feels so wrong
Without you by my side
If I was unworthy of you all along
At least you'd have known that I tried

Now I'm your legacy
I don't even know what that means
You're my idol, you're a ghost
Are you the one I've disappointed the most

Whatever I did, I was just a kid
Hoping to be good enough
I wish you could see me know, would I make you proud
And would I earn your love
When I save the day, life goes on anyway
Even for your biggest fan
So I'll keep on chasing you 'cause there's been no
Greater hero and no greater man
No greater hero and no greater man

No Greater Man

Machinations big and small
Were you the one who started it all
What did you do, what did you gain
Not for rank or for fortune, not for fame
Knowledge acquired, but at a cost
What have you paid, what have you lost

And what have you seen in distant galaxies
Are life and death and truth all fallacies
Where does it end, where does it begin
Is there good, is there evil, is there sin
And what is your role, what is your part
When it's cold and it's empty in your heart

No regrets, no remorse
They lived and they died as decreed by the Source
Wait and watch, wait and see
How one gentle touch tears away at the seams

You mistake knowledge for wisdom and it leads you astray
In pursuit of truth you tell yourself, but who will you betray
What's the price that you'll pay
The price that you've paid

The Price

We're at the end so if my heart beats faster
Could you blame me for wanting happy ever after
That's not the kind of story we had
That's not the reason you take my hand
A broken heart when we part is all I have

So I'll forget but can I keep you as a dream
And in your sleepless nights will you still think of me
And be tempted to turn back time
It wasn't love but it wasn't a lie
Didn't you say I could stay by your side

Tell the truth, what'd we save
Don't pretend there weren't mistakes
You're so smart, find a way
Why'd things have to change

Beyond the stars, what do you find
When your fingers slip through mine
Let's go back, don't ask why
We're running out of time

You travel on the astral winds
One story ends and another begins
A broken heart when we part is all this is
That's all this is
That's all this is

At The End

I could show you wonders
Take my hand, I'll pull you under
On a breath hold, suppose
With me in the cold, cold deep
Of space, of mysteries
I've mapped it all, but somewhere in between
Like stars, like stars
Like the beat of your heart
What's unknown, unshown to me

I need you by my side
I need you in my life
You complete me
So be the one I seek
I need you by my side
I need you in my life
You complete me
So be the missing piece of me

If you could return to the surface
Break through the wall and find your purpose
Should I say no, let go
Sink in the cold, cold blue
Alone without you
But what good are lungs with the gills that you grew
So stay, so stay
Motives get in the way
I won't show, you can't know the truth

I need you by my side
I need you in my life
You complete me
So be the one I seek
I need you by my side
I need you in my life
You complete me
So be the one I seek
You complete me
So be the missing piece
You complete me 
So be a heart that beats for me

No Greater Man
