Invisible Empire by KT Tunstall

I thought the candle was gonna go out
The (1)________ was blowing and the door was open
But the (2)____________ never went out
Never went out

The wave 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 this house
I know, I (5)__________ jump into the fire
(Oh oh) I’ve got to (6)________ them down
The pinnacles of my invisible empire

I (7)________ the gamble (8)__________ works twice
All the (9)________________________ of the table
And the (10)________________ dice
But the thrill of it (11)__________ 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 (12)________ it’s not my time
It’s not my time

(Oh oh) I (13)__________ burn this house
I know, I wanna jump (14)________ the fire
(Oh oh) I’ve got to (15)________ them down
The pinnacles of my invisible empire

And if I do all the (16)____________ I do
Well, I tell myself (17)________ I’m staying true
Know I’ll never stop
You know I’ll (18)__________ stop
You know I’ll never (19)__________ about it

Put an end to all this time
That I (20)__________ (21)__________ (22)________ it on my mind
You know it never stopped
You know it never stopped
You (23)________ I always wondered about it

I (24)________________ about the wonder
(Oh oh no oh oh) I wear a rusting crown
I (25)________ this (26)______________ 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
