Invisible Empire by KT Tunstall

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

The wave (3)__________ its way to the shore
I thought it was a ripple and nothing more
But the (4)________ (5)__________ its way all the way
To the shore

(Oh oh) I wanna (6)________ this house
I know, I wanna jump into the fire
(Oh oh) I’ve got to tear them down
The pinnacles of my invisible empire

I know the gamble (7)__________ 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 (8)________________ 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 (11)__________ jump into the fire
(Oh oh) I’ve got to tear (12)________ down
The (13)__________________ of my invisible 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 (14)__________ stop
You (15)________ I’ll never (16)__________ (17)__________ it

Put an end to all this time
That I would spend (18)________ it on my mind
You know it never stopped
You know it never stopped
You know I always wondered about it

I wondered (19)__________ the wonder
(Oh oh no oh oh) I wear a (20)______________ crown
I know (21)________ (22)______________ 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
