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