Turn around and smell what you don't see Close your eyes it is so clear Here's the mirror, behind there is a screen On both ways you can get in Don't think twice before you listen to your heart Follow the trace for a new start What you need and everything you'll feel Is just a question of the deal In the eye of storm you'll see a lonely dove The experience of survival is the key To the gravity of love The path of excess leads to The tower of Wisdom The path of excess leads to The tower of Wisdom Try to think about it That's the chance to live your life and discover What it is, what's the gravity of love Look around just people, can you hear their voice Find the one who'll guide you to the limits of your choice But if you're in the eye of storm Just think of the lonely dove The experience of survival is the key To the gravity of love.
