invisible empire
I thought the candles was gonna go out The wind was blowing and the door was open But the candles never 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 burn this house I know I wanna jump into the fire Oh, oh gotta tear them down 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 it feels so nice, you do it all again But I look to the chips I loose I'm standing on the platform with my neck in the noose But I know its not my time, not my time Oh, oh, I wanna burn this house I know I wanna jump into the fire Oh, oh I gotta tear them down Pinnacles of my invisible empire And if I do, all the things I do And I tell myself that I'm staying true I'll never stop, you know I'll never stop You know I'll never think about it Put it into all this time That I would spend with it on my mind You know it never stopped, no, I'll never stop You know I'll always wonder about it I wondered about the wonder Oh, oh we're a resting crown I know this dynasty is falling The crowd shouts for another round To see the ruin, the spectacular, diamonds, buried Icebergs, the minarets and the marketplaces The signal fires of my invisible empire Oh, oh, oh
