Let's have a black celebration
Black Celebration
Tonight
To celebrate the fact
That we've seen the back
Of another black day
I look to you
How you carry on
When all hope is gone
Can't you see
Your optimistic eyes
Seem like paradise
To someone like me
I want to take you in my arms
Forgetting all I couldn't do today
-Black Celebration by Depeche Mode
Great words. Not one of my top bands, but I like the lyrics.
Any Triskaidekaphobics lurking out there?

I think its mostly hype.. but there could be something to it lost in the sands of time...
... of an hour glass.
This is as the world turns.
