In 2008, Suvi Virtanen joined the band as the vocalist. The remainder of the line up was complete when Brian Hollenbeck joined on bass and vocals, and John Gensmer on drums.
2009 was spent mostly in the studio and the album was completed in the summe...r.
The Law Of One was released in North America via Blinding Force Recordings in September of 2009. It is available world wide via Amazon, CDBaby, iTunes, and other popular sites.
In late 2009, Melissa Ferlaak replaced Suvi on vocals and Adam Sagan replaced John on drums. A change was needed in order to allow ECHOTERRA the opportunities to perform live. With the new lineup in place, the band will perform regularly starting in early 2010.
A brand new EP featuring Melissa on vocals is now available. The band is in pre-production for the next full album with an anticipated release date of summer 2011.
In Your Eyes
Echoterra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You by my side, never to leave
I always knew you'd be taken from me
Days go by and I'm left with the sadness
Time chasing time leads to my madness
Another place, a different window
A new path for me to go through
Why did you leave me this way?
When all I ever wanted was just one more day
In Your Eyes I see the hidden treasure
In Your Eyes I see my life
Take me on your final journey
Take me back into your arms
Why did you leave me this way?
When all I ever wanted was just one more day
In Your Eyes I see the hidden treasure
In Your Eyes I see my life
Far beyond the light I feel your inner torment
Far beyond the night I hear your cries
Can you hear me when I call you?
Are you afraid of what surrounds you?
From beyond the dark I'll find you
No matter what hell I go through
In Your Eyes I see the hidden treasure
In Your Eyes I see my life
Far beyond the light I feel your inner torment
Far beyond the night I hear your cries
Take me on your final journey
Take me back into your arms
In Your Eyes I see the glory
In Your Eyes I see my life
The lyrics to Echoterra's "In Your Eyes" tell the story of a person who has lost a loved one and is struggling to come to terms with their death.

The second verse depicts the aftermath of the person's death - the singer is left with "madness" and the realization that they must find a new path to follow. The chorus asks the question "Why did you leave me this way?", showing the singer's pain and longing for more time with the lost loved one. However, there is also a sense of hope and a belief in a hidden treasure in the person's eyes that can guide the singer forward.
The third verse brings a more supernatural element to the lyrics, with the singer feeling the lost loved one's inner torment and hearing their cries "far beyond the night". The final refrain returns to the sense of hope and connection to the person through their eyes, with the singer asking to be taken on their "final journey" and finding glory in their gaze.
Overall, the lyrics to "In Your Eyes" showcase the duality of grief - the intense pain of loss mixed with the hope of finding a way forward through connection to the departed.
