Invisible Empire by KT Tunstall
I thought the (1)____________ was gonna go out
The wind was (2)______________ and the door was open
But the candle (3)__________ went out
Never went out
The wave found its way to the shore
I thought it was a (4)____________ and nothing more
But the (5)________ (6)__________ its way all the way
To the shore
(Oh oh) I wanna (7)________ this house
I know, I (8)__________ (9)________ into the fire
(Oh oh) I’ve got to tear them down
The pinnacles of my invisible empire
I know the gamble (10)__________ (11)__________ twice
All the distractions of the table
And the (12)________________ dice
But the thrill of it (13)__________ so nice
You’d do it all again
But I look 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 wanna burn (14)________ house
I know, I wanna jump into the fire
(Oh oh) I’ve got to tear them down
The pinnacles of my (15)__________________ empire
And if I do all the things I do
Well, I tell myself that I’m staying true
Know I’ll never stop
You know I’ll never stop
You (16)________ I’ll never think (17)__________ it
Put an end to all this time
That I would spend with it on my mind
You (18)________ it never stopped
You know it never stopped
You (19)________ I always wondered about it
I (20)________________ (21)__________ the wonder
(Oh oh no oh oh) I (22)________ a rusting crown
I know this dynasty is falling
The crowd shouts for (23)______________ round
I see the ruin
The spectacular
Diamonds buried
Icebergs, the minarets
And the marketplaces
The signal fires of my (24)__________________ empire
