Invisible Empire

I thought the candles gonna go out
The wind was blowing and the door was open
But the candles 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
Pinnacles of my invisible empire
I know the gamble never works twice
All the destructions of the table and waited days
But the thrill it feels so nice, you do it all again
But I look to the gyps I loose
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, baby
Ice birds, the minarets and the marketplaces
The signal fires of my invisible empire
Oh, oh, oh
