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 went out
Never (1)________ out
The (2)________ found its way to the shore
I thought it was a ripple and nothing more
But the (3)________ found its way all the way
To the shore
(Oh oh) I (4)__________ (5)________ this house
I know, I (6)__________ jump (7)________ the fire
(Oh oh) I’ve got to (8)________ them down
The (9)__________________ of my (10)__________________ empire
I know the gamble never works twice
All the distractions of the table
And the (11)________________ dice
But the thrill of it (12)__________ 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 (13)__________ burn this house
I know, I (14)__________ 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 that I’m (15)______________ true
Know I’ll never stop
You know I’ll (16)__________ stop
You (17)________ I’ll never think about it
Put an end to all (18)________ time
That I (19)__________ spend with it on my mind
You (20)________ it never stopped
You know it (21)__________ stopped
You know I always wondered (22)__________ it
I (23)________________ (24)__________ 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 signal (25)__________ of my (26)__________________ empire
