Caio Claro The most interesting thing about this album is that all the influences of the band mix perfectly. One of the best made progressive albums I've discovered lately. I hope "Quiet Child" gets more attention, they deserve it. Favorite track: Water Rushing Through The Reeds.

Michael Reilly This beauty completely passed me by when it was released earlier this year – but not for any longer! Progressive in its scope, sounds and intelligent compositions, this is an album of superb musical depth and outstanding quality. Favorite track: If Only You Had Seen Me.

Acritarche Quiet child take a step off their harder habits to turn into a progband not unlike Porcupine Tree or Steven Wilson early solo career. A must have. No less. Favorite track: Shehada.

Home again But tomorrow, when we return Will there be a place to even call a home? On the run again Spurned on by chaos and his immortal words He said: "Fire may rain, but it will not fall forever..." Such a shame, if only you had seen me... So we go home again Because there is no where else to go What's one wreckage to the next? Fire has reigned, and it's horrors freely loosed I get so used to losing track of you And now it's been too long Oh it's such a shame If only you had seen me...

Shehada 06:28
Many memories will haunt me all my life I'm tired, I'm lonely, but I'm alive Then they lined us up in a row "You go here..." I'm hungry, I'm sallow, but I'm alive To the shots ringing clear I fainted away Then I awoke, surrounded yet alone Every time I look to the east I say your name I'm tired, I'm lonely, but I'm alive Every time I think things will change, they stay the same I'm hungry, I'm sallow, but I'm alive

Neighbour 07:26
Some burns from sun, some burns from fire I can't hide on the plains, I'll be found They'll find me if I'm underground Hello neighbour, hide me now I once knew a man Holy, he was Cared for his brothers But only for the sake of their souls How I loved him How freely he gave to me
5.
I can feel the chiming of life It's cadence pushes foreign seeds through the air One settles on my hand Push it into the land And hope it regrows what we have taken
6.
I had a sense of what would happen If found behind the lines A few short Danzig years No-one stopped me, with their arms so full Und Gotte Lachte... And so he rides When will they realise? Our best laid plans Not even a day would last Uniforms hunting for slaves Like they were looking for strays And God laughed...
7.
Siren sings and the classes end We climb our way to the rubble above The ground is stained on the sniper range We're observed through focused lens It's likely I will be lonely when you're gone Hammer swings at reality Waking up to the fires above Decimate attempts to educate As it moulds our boys for war Surely I will be lonely when you're gone Better to try than hide Be safe, unknown friend
8.
So good to finally see you any time I want My flower So many checkpoints between us That I forgot to hope I lost my hope Never forget Look what this chaos created It's unrecognisable and so plain I saw a photo of Katyn I saw your face in there I swear, I swear Never forget
