As the sun rushes to meet the morning sky An ineffable journey beings, speaking nary a lie And as the light is cast into our eyes Not a soul dares to whisper of demise The sweet cadence of noontide bells Tranquilly emerges from Fortune's well Contriving joy in a harmonious chime Only to become a victim of inexorable time Solo: Dave Solo: Ryan The heavens fall prey to dusk's cold embrace Casting dark shadows upon the planet's face The blackening horizon eclipses the past And Nature's sweet miracle leaves our world aghast Now the stars have effaced a world so bright And a silent breeze passes beneath the cold moonlight Entwined with serenity, our world begins to fade As the wind gently whispers its final serenade. + Informações

Ethereal Collapse are a melodic death metal band that hail from Pennsylvania, and are proud to say that they are actually melodic death, not the American version which is almost always metalcore-y, which is a rather refreshing thing in these 'chug chug slam' days. 'Categories' is a concept EP, just over 16mins long, dealing with different branches of philosophy. It's a tight, well written and well played EP, full of soaring melodies and plenty of head bang thrashing moments. Be on the lookout for a new full length album this year!Proposed tiers: Guitar: 4 || Drums: 4 || Vocals: 0 || Bass: 3 || Full Band: 4 Ethereal Collapse on Myspace : www.myspace.com That Authoring Group Website: thatauthoringgroup.com For more information on the Rock Band Network: creators.rockband.com Music © Ethereal Collapse, used with permission.

"A Requiem for the Seasons" The sun retreats and poles reverse Curtailing days and quickening nights Cold winds descend to scorch the earth Sweeping its travelers cruelly aside Far below, oblivion grows At the foothills of tomorrow The seeds of change are sown The clouds concoct a dreadful solution Blanketing mountains with all their might And waters in which men could once swim Now lie frozen, stricken with terror A solar eclipse at Heaven's vault forms, Drowning the sun in a ravenous lake Although this fury continues on, Mind-engraved, constructing trauma, A conflagration burns high above, Yearning to ignite a swarm of failing souls Far below, paradise grows Blossoming wildly and holding back woes. + Informações

"Insights Intrude" Kept in mind, but out of view Explicit distinctions, hidden for reasons Doctored up, a more appeasing hue Truth that I cover, revealed to no other Familiar response, initiates the queue A line that I'll feed you, that I really need you Rehashed enough, still nothing is new Take this connection, I expect your deception Why so contrite? Do you need to know? Is it your right? I will tell you Something's off center, a fact that distorts An edict that's vague, questions my mind plague Chasms revealed, inconsistent reports No insights are vented, repetitions presented Guarded ideals, negating cohorts These ideas are bleeding, but I am not reading Between the lines, how it all resorts My mind is inept, in the dark where I'm kept Insights intrude My blight's intact Need not construed Need not react. + Informações

"Towards the Asymptote" My brain waves crash into the walls Of my mind, where confusion crawls Harder they strike with each successive pass But fail to cross the boundaries they attack Oceans of thought gather deep within, Flanked on all sides by ignorance They drown the armies one by one Without remorse; their will is done Now, the waters rise and effervesce Longing for the sky's caress What fools they are! What audacity Blinds them to their finite capacity? I lie behind the threshold of truth Traversing infinity without a clue Under the guise of enlightenment, Uncertainty breeds Leaving us to suffer In epistemic purgatory My brain waves crash onto the shore Of understanding, and breathe no more They gear up for another round Vanquished again without a sound Oceans of thought gather deep within, Flanked on all sides by ignorance. + Informações

Visit myspace.com/etherealcollapse to hear more [Lyrics] Silhouettes line the horizon, silent As the wind on the most tranquil of days, Patiently waiting to be ascertained Forever nebulous until the end Ever so hungry for truth, we close in Across the desolate fields of ruin, Marching on in the midst of temptation, The serpent hissing at its abolition Plagues befall mankind and shatter its faith Convoluting the answers that await Tempests and floods breed a chasm so vast Blinding us to the false images cast Draining the majesty of both mind and soul, it grows Like a disease, this storm of falsity persists To instill the feelings of others, and rob us of our own Totalitarian darkness washes over the earth But intuition will light the path and precipitate wisdom's birth Now, with all cultural constraint removed Nothing remains but the truth, absolute Luminous forms adorn once dark landscapes What a magnificent day to escape! By way of light, we discover the absolute. + Informações

Visit myspace.com/etherealcollapse to hear more [Lyrics] At dawn I began my arduous ascent Of Mount Olympus, home of the Esteemed To take back that which was hoarded in the name Of the highest good (according to the Exalted ones) I defy the gods' noble lie I justify the actions of mankind Amid lightning and thunder I broke through the clouds And began to wonder Why entry was so barred Peering over the summit, I met with Paradise And the ancient circle that decides the fate of men What sort of benevolence could stand to wrongly keep Its ever-righteous children in this hollow dark? Witnessing their tyranny, I sauntered by and stole The valued tool of illumination that was forever kept Upon my return, I saw that men had ceased To blindly obey by mere virtue of the divine On this I reflect as my flesh is forever fed To a wild beast on this ominous mountainside And though my pain does not regress It is a more just punishment Than drowning in the dark I defy the gods' noble lie I justify the actions of mankind. + Informações

"Lake of the Black Swan, Pt. 1" A pair of young souls fate has brought together For a reason they have yet to know One heart yearns for eternal deliverance The other is lost to the lake below Seasons of lust cloud the others judgment A passionate kiss seals the fate condoned The friendship lost for a heart now shattered Now damned to swim the depths alone Flailing frantically to escape A pain all but familiar before She tries desperately to save the other But the water consumes him whole She claimed she'd never go But the grave just seems so cold Now her mourning breaks with dawn As her tears now fill the Lake of the Black Swan Emotions of regret now fill the mind But not of that soul left to die Confused by his welcomed misery The frail swan now starts to flee Consumed by panic, left unjust He builds a wall to protect his trust A constant struggle to be let back in Within his fortress, a suicide begins Flailing frantically to escape The pain manifests itself more She tries desperately to save what's left But he omits her last request. + Informações
