Invisible Empire by KT Tunstall

I thought the (1)____________ was gonna go out
The wind was blowing and the door was open
But the candle (2)__________ went out
Never went out

The wave found its way to the shore
I thought it was a ripple and nothing more
But the wave found its way all the way
To the shore

(Oh oh) I wanna (3)________ this house
I know, I wanna jump into the fire
(Oh oh) I’ve got to tear (4)________ down
The pinnacles of my invisible empire

I know the gamble never works twice
All the distractions of the table
And the weighted dice
But the thrill of it feels so nice
You’d do it all again

But I (5)________ to the chips and lose
I’m standing on the platform
With my neck in the noose
And I know it’s not my time
It’s not my time

(Oh oh) I wanna burn this house
I know, I wanna jump into the fire
(Oh oh) I’ve got to tear them down
The pinnacles of my invisible empire

And if I do all the things I do
Well, I tell (6)____________ that I’m staying true
Know I’ll never stop
You know I’ll never stop
You know I’ll never think about it

Put an end to all this time
That I would spend with it on my mind
You know it never stopped
You know it never stopped
You know I always wondered (7)__________ it

I wondered about the wonder
(Oh oh no oh oh) I wear a rusting crown
I know this dynasty is falling
The (8)__________ shouts for (9)______________ round
I see the ruin
The spectacular
Diamonds buried
Icebergs, the minarets
And the marketplaces
The signal fires of my (10)__________________ empire
