Invisible Empire by KT Tunstall

I (1)______________ the candle was gonna go out
The wind was blowing and the door was open
But the candle (2)__________ went out
Never (3)________ out

The wave found its way to the shore
I thought it was a ripple and nothing more
But the wave found its way all the way
To the shore

(Oh oh) I wanna burn (4)________ house
I know, I (5)__________ jump into the fire
(Oh oh) I’ve got to (6)________ (7)________ down
The pinnacles of my (8)__________________ empire

I know the gamble never works twice
All the distractions of the table
And the weighted dice
But the (9)____________ of it feels so nice
You’d do it all again

But I (10)________ to the chips and lose
I’m (11)________________ 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 (12)__________ (13)________ this house
I know, I wanna (14)________ (15)________ the fire
(Oh oh) I’ve got to (16)________ them down
The pinnacles of my invisible empire

And if I do all the things I do
Well, I tell (17)____________ 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 (18)________ it never stopped
You (19)________ I always wondered about it

I (20)________________ (21)__________ the wonder
(Oh oh no oh oh) I wear a rusting crown
I know (22)________ (23)______________ is falling
The (24)__________ 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
