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 went out

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

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

I know the (8)____________ (9)__________ works twice
All the (10)________________________ 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 (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 (13)________ house
I know, I wanna jump into the fire
(Oh oh) I’ve got to tear them down
The pinnacles of my invisible empire

And if I do all the (14)____________ I do
Well, I tell myself that I’m staying true
Know I’ll never stop
You (15)________ I’ll (16)__________ stop
You know I’ll (17)__________ think about it

Put an end to all (18)________ time
That I would spend with it on my mind
You know it (19)__________ stopped
You know it never stopped
You (20)________ I (21)____________ wondered about it

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