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 (1)__________ went out
Never went 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 (2)________ this house
I know, I (3)__________ jump into the fire
(Oh oh) I’ve got to tear them down
The pinnacles of my invisible empire
I (4)________ the (5)____________ (6)__________ (7)__________ twice
All the distractions of the table
And the (8)________________ dice
But the thrill of it feels so nice
You’d do it all again
But I look to the (9)__________ and lose
I’m (10)________________ on the platform
With my neck in the noose
And I (11)________ 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 (12)________ them down
The pinnacles of my (13)__________________ empire
And if I do all the (14)____________ I do
Well, I (15)________ (16)____________ that I’m (17)______________ true
Know I’ll (18)__________ stop
You know I’ll never stop
You (19)________ I’ll never think about it
Put an end to all (20)________ time
That I would spend with it on my mind
You know it never stopped
You know it never stopped
You know I (21)____________ wondered about it
I (22)________________ about the wonder
(Oh oh no oh oh) I wear a rusting crown
I know (23)________ dynasty 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
...
