Invisible Empire by KT Tunstall

I thought the (1)____________ was gonna go out
The wind was blowing and the (2)________ was open
But the (3)____________ (4)__________ went out
Never (5)________ out

The wave found its way to the shore
I (6)______________ it was a ripple and (7)______________ more
But the wave (8)__________ its way all the way
To the shore

(Oh oh) I wanna (9)________ this house
I know, I wanna (10)________ into the fire
(Oh oh) I’ve got to tear them down
The pinnacles of my invisible empire

I know the (11)____________ never (12)__________ twice
All the distractions of the table
And the weighted dice
But the (13)____________ of it feels 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 wanna burn this house
I know, I (14)__________ (15)________ (16)________ 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 staying true
Know I’ll never stop
You know I’ll (17)__________ 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 (20)__________ it

I (21)________________ about the wonder
(Oh oh no oh oh) I wear a rusting crown
I (22)________ this dynasty is falling
The crowd (23)____________ for another round
I see the ruin
The spectacular
Diamonds buried
Icebergs, the minarets
And the marketplaces
The signal fires of my invisible empire
