Invisible Empire by KT Tunstall
I thought the candle was (1)__________ go out
The wind was blowing and the door was open
But the candle never went out
Never went out
The (2)________ found its way to the shore
I (3)______________ it was a ripple and nothing more
But the wave found its way all the way
To the shore
(Oh oh) I (4)__________ burn (5)________ 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 never (6)__________ 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 (7)________________ 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 wanna burn 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
And if I do all the things I do
Well, I (8)________ myself that I’m staying true
Know I’ll never stop
You know I’ll never stop
You know I’ll never think about it
Put an end to all this time
That I would spend with it on my mind
You know it never stopped
You know it never stopped
You know I always (9)________________ about it
I wondered (10)__________ 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 fires of my invisible empire
