Wake Up Lyrics

We are alive for a moment
One second in the great abyss of time
All the bleedin', all the hate
Just one blink of an eye
All the conflicts, it visits dire pain on human life
Are we missing what it is to be alive?

One by one the pieces fall
Until our pride defeats us all
We learn to live without it

WAKE UP!
To the sound of this time bomb
WAKE UP!
To its deafening song
WAKE UP!
Cause you don't know what you've got until it's gone
Until it's gone

Our innocence is a virtue
But our arrogance will only leave us blind
Unattended without anyone to save our idle lives
Will we find out that everything we know exists inside of a fraction
Of a fraction

One by one the pieces fall again

WAKE UP!
To the sound of this time bomb
WAKE UP!
To its deafening song
WAKE UP!
Cause you don't know what you've got until it's gone
Until it's gone
WAKE UP!
To the sound of this time bomb
WAKE UP!
To its deafening song
WAKE UP!
Cause you don't know what you've got until it's gone
Until it's gone away!

One by one the pieces fall
Until our pride defeats us all
Yeah!

One by one the pieces fall (one by one the pieces fall)
Until our pride defeats us all
DEFEATS US ALL!
YEAH!

OOHH!!
WAKE UP!
To the sound of this time bomb
WAKE UP!
To its deafening song
WAKE UP!
Cause you don't know what you've got until it's gone
Until it's gone
WAKE UP!
To the sound of this time bomb
WAKE UP!
To its deafening song
WAKE UP!
Cause you don't know what you've got until it's gone
Until it's gone away

It's gone away
Yeah

Story of the Year is a post-hardcore/alternative rock band from St. Louis, Missouri originally formed in 1995.

The band consists of vocalist Dan Marsala, lead guitarist Ryan Phillips, rhythm guitarist and back up vocalist Philip Sneed, bassist Adam Russell and drummer Josh Wills. Initially named Big Blue Monkey, they changed their name to Story of the Year in 2002 because a blues group of the same name had already existed.

It would not be until eight years after forming that Story of the Year saw its first piece of commercial success in its major label debut, Page Avenue, containing the popular singles "Until the Day I Die" and "Anthem of Our Dying Day". A second album, In the Wake of Determination, followed in 2005, but did not achieve the success of its predecessor. The band has returned with their third album The Black Swan, their first on Epitaph Records, which was released on April 22, 2008.

The band toured with Linkin Park on the Meteora World Tour in 2004 along with P.O.D. and Hoobastank.

The band's fourth, The Constant, was released on February 16, 2010 through Epitaph Records.

On March 8, 2013 it was announced that the band are planning on a world tour. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
