KT Tunstall - Invisible Empire lyrics
[KT Tunstall - Invisible Empire lyrics]
The wind was blowing and the door was open
But the candle never went out, never went out
The wave found it's way to the shore
I thought it was a ripple and nothing more
But the wave found it's way all
The way to the shore
Oh, I wanna burn this house
I know, I wanna jump into the fire
Oh, I’ve got to tear them down
The pinnacles of my invisible empire
I know the gamble never works twice
All the distractions of the table
And the weighted dice
But the thrill 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
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 would spend with it on my mind
You know it never stopped
You know it never stopped
You know I always wondered about it
I wondered about the wonder
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
