About Story of The Year
Story of the Year (a.k.a. Story or SOTY) is a band that was originally formed in St. Louis in 1995. It currently consists of Dan Marsala - vocals, Ryan Phillips - lead guitar, Philip Sneed - rhythm guitar & vocals, Adam Russell - bass, and Josh Wills - drums. Initially named Big Blue Monkey, they changed their name to Story of the Year in 2001 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 is now finished with their third studio album, their first on Epitaph Records, which is due to be released in spring 2008.

Wake Up The Voiceless Lyrics by Story of The Year
I've swallowed every hook
Fallen for their disguise
Lived by the book
Felt the blade of the knife
As it pressed against my neck
We're taught to imitate
Segragate and divide
Do what we're told
Rise and fall with the time
If we refuse to play the part
Then they will hear us screamin
Wake up the voiceless
Wake up the revolution
Whoa
We are alive tonight
Wake up the voiceless
Wake up the revolution
We are alive tonight
They advertise your life
Through a blanket of lies
Expand the truth
So their profits will rise
Ignore the sacrifice
Wires cast in stones
At the gods that create
We're amplified
To provide what they take
If we refuse to play the role
They will hear us screamin
Wake up the voiceless
Wake up the revolution
Whoa
We are alive tonight
Wake up the voiceless
Wake up the revolution
We are alive tonight
Go
There's a reason for defiance
We can't ignore
With the promise of a new day
This is a war
The blood will spill
The voices will be heard
And tonight
We are alive
I swallowed every hook
Falling for their disguise
Lived by the book
Felt the blade of the knife
But I refuse to play the role
And they will hear me screamin
Wake up the voiceless
Wake up the revolution
Whoa
We are alive tonight
Wake up the voiceless
Wake up the revolution
We are alive tonight
Wake up the voiceless
Wake up the revolution
Whoa
We are alive tonight
Wake up the voiceless
Wake up the revolution
We are alive tonight
Whoa
We are alive tonight
Whoa
We are alive tonight
We are alive tonight
We are alive tonight
We are alive tonight
