It has undergone major upgrades in the ten years of its existence. Probably the largest of which involving the Swiss musicians.

One Day this will all fade to black
Feel the cold wind at your back
Life like a book that you’ve taken from a friend
You want to read on but you don’t want the end
Feel the cold wind at your back
Life like a book that you’ve taken from a friend
You want to read on but you don’t want the end
And these fine hours, fine hours pass
The free falling sands in the glass, Hourglass.
So I’ve seen them rise I’ve seen them fall
Went to school to learn to read the writing on the wall, I found that
Some things you take, and other things you steal, it taught me,
Some of us learn to fight, and other ones can feel.
