Invisible Empire by KT Tunstall
I thought the candle was (1)__________ go out
The (2)________ was (3)______________ and the door was open
But the candle never went out
Never went out
The (4)________ (5)__________ its way to the shore
I (6)______________ it was a ripple and (7)______________ more
But the wave found its way all the way
To the shore
(Oh oh) I (8)__________ (9)________ this house
I know, I (10)__________ jump (11)________ the fire
(Oh oh) I’ve got to (12)________ them down
The pinnacles of my invisible empire
I (13)________ 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 look to the chips and lose
I’m standing on the platform
With my (14)________ 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 (15)________ (16)________ the fire
(Oh oh) I’ve got to (17)________ them down
The pinnacles of my invisible empire
And if I do all the (18)____________ I do
Well, I tell myself that I’m (19)______________ true
Know I’ll never stop
You (20)________ I’ll (21)__________ stop
You know I’ll never think (22)__________ it
Put an end to all this time
That I (23)__________ spend with it on my mind
You know it never stopped
You know it (24)__________ stopped
You (25)________ I always wondered (26)__________ it
I wondered (27)__________ the wonder
(Oh oh no oh oh) I wear a rusting crown
I know this dynasty is falling
The (28)__________ shouts for another round
I see the ruin
The spectacular
Diamonds buried
Icebergs, the minarets
And the marketplaces
The signal fires of my invisible empire
