Invisible Empire

I thought the candle was gonna go out.
The wind was blowing and the door was open.
But the candle never went out, never went out.
The way found its way to the shore.
I thought it was a ripple and nothing more,
But the way found its way all the way to its shore.
Oh, oh, I wanna burn this house.
I know I wanna jump into the fire.
Oh,oh I gotta tear them down.
The pinnacles of my invisible empire.
I know the gamble never works twice.
All the distractions at the table and weighted dice,
But the thrill it feels so nice, you'd do it all again.
But I look to the chips I'd loose.
I'm standing on a platform with my neck in the noose.
And I know its not my time, it's not my time.
Oh, oh, I gotta burn this house.
I know I wanna jump into the fire.
Oh,oh I gotta tear them down,
The pinnacles of my invisible empire.
And if I do, all the things I do.
What 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'll always wonder about it.
I wondered about the wonder.
Oh, no. I wear a rusting crown and,
I know this dynasty is falling.
The crowd shouts for another round.
To see the ruin, the spectacular, diamonds, babe.
Iceburgs, the minarets and the marketplaces.
The signal fires of my invisible empire.
Oh,oh,oh
