Invisible Empire by KT Tunstall
I thought the candle was gonna go out
The wind was (1)______________ and the door was open
But the (2)____________ 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 (3)__________ its way all the way
To the shore
(Oh oh) I (4)__________ burn (5)________ house
I know, I wanna jump (6)________ the fire
(Oh oh) I’ve got to tear them down
The pinnacles of my invisible empire
I know the (7)____________ 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 (8)__________ 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 (9)__________ (10)________ this house
I know, I wanna (11)________ into the fire
(Oh oh) I’ve got to (12)________ them down
The pinnacles of my invisible empire
And if I do all the things I do
Well, I (13)________ myself (14)________ I’m staying true
Know I’ll never stop
You know I’ll (15)__________ stop
You know I’ll (16)__________ think about it
Put an end to all this time
That I would spend with it on my mind
You (17)________ it never stopped
You (18)________ it never stopped
You know I always (19)________________ about it
I wondered (20)__________ the wonder
(Oh oh no oh oh) I wear a (21)______________ crown
I know this (22)______________ is falling
The (23)__________ 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
...
