Invisible Empire by KT Tunstall

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

The wave found its way to the shore
I thought it was a (2)____________ and (3)______________ more
But the wave (4)__________ its way all the way
To the shore

(Oh oh) I wanna burn (5)________ house
I know, I wanna (6)________ into the fire
(Oh oh) I’ve got to (7)________ them down
The pinnacles of my invisible empire

I know the gamble never (8)__________ twice
All the distractions of the table
And the (9)________________ dice
But the thrill of it feels so nice
You’d do it all again

But I (10)________ 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 (11)__________ (12)________ this house
I know, I wanna jump into the fire
(Oh oh) I’ve got to (13)________ (14)________ down
The pinnacles of my invisible empire

And if I do all the things I do
Well, I (15)________ myself that I’m staying true
Know I’ll (16)__________ stop
You (17)________ I’ll never stop
You know I’ll (18)__________ think (19)__________ it

Put an end to all this time
That I (20)__________ spend with it on my mind
You know it never stopped
You (21)________ it (22)__________ stopped
You know I always wondered about it

I wondered (23)__________ the wonder
(Oh oh no oh oh) I wear a (24)______________ crown
I know this dynasty is falling
The crowd shouts for another round
I see the ruin
The spectacular
Diamonds buried
Icebergs, the minarets
And the marketplaces
The signal fires of my (25)__________________ empire
