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 (2)________ found its way to the shore
I (3)______________ it was a ripple and nothing more
But the (4)________ found its way all the way
To the shore
(Oh oh) I wanna burn this house
I know, I (5)__________ jump into the fire
(Oh oh) I’ve got to (6)________ (7)________ down
The (8)__________________ of my invisible empire
I know the (9)____________ never works twice
All the (10)________________________ 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 (11)________________ on the platform
With my (12)________ in the noose
And I know it’s not my time
It’s not my time
(Oh oh) I (13)__________ burn (14)________ house
I know, I wanna jump into the fire
(Oh oh) I’ve got to tear them down
The pinnacles of my invisible empire
And if I do all the things I do
Well, I tell myself (15)________ I’m staying true
Know I’ll never stop
You (16)________ I’ll (17)__________ stop
You (18)________ I’ll (19)__________ think about it
Put an end to all this time
That I (20)__________ spend (21)________ it on my mind
You know it never stopped
You know it (22)__________ stopped
You (23)________ I always (24)________________ about it
I wondered about the wonder
(Oh oh no oh oh) I wear a (25)______________ crown
I know (26)________ dynasty is falling
The crowd shouts for another round
I see the ruin
The spectacular
Diamonds buried
Icebergs, the minarets
And the marketplaces
The signal fires of my (27)__________________ empire
