Invisible Empire by KT Tunstall
I thought the (1)____________ was gonna go out
The wind was (2)______________ and the door was open
But the (3)____________ never (4)________ out
Never went out
The wave found its way to the shore
I thought it was a ripple and (5)______________ more
But the (6)________ found its way all the way
To the shore
(Oh oh) I wanna (7)________ this house
I know, I wanna (8)________ into the fire
(Oh oh) I’ve got to tear (9)________ down
The pinnacles of my invisible empire
I know the (10)____________ 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 (11)________ to the chips and lose
I’m (12)________________ on the platform
With my (13)________ in the noose
And I know it’s not my time
It’s not my time
(Oh oh) I wanna (14)________ this house
I know, I wanna jump into the fire
(Oh oh) I’ve got to (15)________ them down
The pinnacles of my invisible empire
And if I do all the things I do
Well, I tell myself (16)________ I’m staying true
Know I’ll never stop
You know I’ll (17)__________ stop
You know I’ll never think about it
Put an end to all (18)________ time
That I would spend with it on my mind
You (19)________ it (20)__________ stopped
You (21)________ it never stopped
You know I always wondered about it
I (22)________________ about the wonder
(Oh oh no oh oh) I wear a rusting crown
I know this dynasty is falling
The crowd shouts for another round
I see the ruin
The spectacular
Diamonds buried
Icebergs, the minarets
And the marketplaces
The (23)____________ (24)__________ of my invisible empire
