Invisible Empire by KT Tunstall

I (1)______________ the candle was gonna go out
The (2)________ was blowing and the door was open
But the (3)____________ 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 wave found its way all the way
To the shore

(Oh oh) I wanna burn this house
I know, I (4)__________ jump (5)________ the fire
(Oh oh) I’ve got to tear them down
The (6)__________________ of my invisible empire

I (7)________ the (8)____________ never works twice
All the distractions of the table
And the weighted dice
But the (9)____________ of it feels so nice
You’d do it all again

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

And if I do all the (14)____________ I do
Well, I tell myself that I’m (15)______________ true
Know I’ll never stop
You (16)________ 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 (17)________ it (18)__________ stopped
You (19)________ it never stopped
You (20)________ I always (21)________________ about it

I wondered about the wonder
(Oh oh no oh oh) I (22)________ a rusting crown
I know this dynasty is falling
The crowd (23)____________ for (24)______________ round
I see the ruin
The spectacular
Diamonds buried
Icebergs, the minarets
And the marketplaces
The (25)____________ fires of my invisible empire
