Invisible Empire by KT Tunstall

I thought the (1)____________ was gonna go out
The (2)________ was blowing and the (3)________ was open
But the candle never went out
Never went out

The wave found its way to the shore
I thought it was a ripple and nothing more
But the (4)________ (5)__________ its way all the way
To the shore

(Oh oh) I wanna burn (6)________ house
I know, I wanna jump into the fire
(Oh oh) I’ve got to tear them down
The (7)__________________ of my invisible empire

I (8)________ the gamble (9)__________ 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 look to the (10)__________ 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 (11)__________ burn this house
I know, I wanna jump into the fire
(Oh oh) I’ve got to (12)________ them down
The pinnacles of my invisible empire

And if I do all the things I do
Well, I tell myself that I’m staying true
Know I’ll (13)__________ stop
You (14)________ I’ll never stop
You know I’ll never think about it

Put an end to all (15)________ time
That I would (16)__________ (17)________ it on my mind
You (18)________ it never stopped
You know it never stopped
You (19)________ I (20)____________ wondered about it

I wondered about the wonder
(Oh oh no oh oh) I (21)________ a (22)______________ crown
I know this dynasty is falling
The crowd (23)____________ for another round
I see the ruin
The spectacular
Diamonds buried
Icebergs, the minarets
And the marketplaces
The signal fires of my (24)__________________ empire
