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 è una rock band americana formatasi a St. Louis, Missouri nel 1995. Inizialmente la band si chiamava 67 North, poi cambiò nome in Big Blue Monkey. Nel 2002, dopo il rilascio dell'EP omonimo su etichetta indipendente Criterion Records, decisero di cambiare nome in Story of the Year, accorgendosi che già esisteva un gruppo blues con lo stesso nome di Big Blue Monkey. Il loro genere musicale è principalmente post-hardcore e alternative rock. Il periodo di attività principale della band è tra il 2001 e il 2016, con una reunion nel 2019. Tra i brani più rappresentativi figurano "Anthem", "Sidewalks", e "Until the Day I Die".
