Invisible Empire by KT Tunstall

I thought the candle was gonna go out
The (1)________ was (2)______________ and the door was open
But the candle never (3)________ out
Never (4)________ out

The (5)________ found its way to the shore
I thought it was a (6)____________ and nothing more
But the wave found its way all the way
To the shore

(Oh oh) I (7)__________ burn (8)________ house
I know, I wanna (9)________ into the fire
(Oh oh) I’ve got to tear them 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 look to the chips and lose
I’m (10)________________ on the platform
With my (11)________ in the noose
And I know it’s not my time
It’s not my time

(Oh oh) I wanna burn (12)________ house
I know, I (13)__________ jump (14)________ the fire
(Oh oh) I’ve got to tear them down
The (15)__________________ of my invisible empire

And if I do all the things I do
Well, I tell myself that I’m (16)______________ true
Know I’ll (17)__________ stop
You (18)________ 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 (19)________ I (20)____________ (21)________________ about it

I (22)________________ about the wonder
(Oh oh no oh oh) I wear a (23)______________ crown
I know (24)________ dynasty is falling
The (25)__________ shouts for another round
I see the ruin
The spectacular
Diamonds buried
Icebergs, the minarets
And the marketplaces
The signal fires of my (26)__________________ empire
