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)__________ (2)________ 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 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

I know the gamble never works twice
All the (3)________________________ of the table
And the weighted dice
But the (4)____________ of it feels so nice
You’d do it all again

But I (5)________ 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 (6)________ this house
I know, I wanna jump into the fire
(Oh oh) I’ve got to tear (7)________ 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 never stop
You know I’ll never think about it

Put an end to all this time
That I (8)__________ (9)__________ with it on my mind
You know it never stopped
You (10)________ it never stopped
You know I always wondered about it

I wondered about 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
