A time of fire and a time of ice

Does anyone reading this have a recording of Jack Hardy's "Three Ravens"? I heard the song once on the radio in elementary school; it made a chilling impression on me. I remembered the chorus and a handful of lines word-perfect and that never helped me with a Google search till now. (The site I've linked is the sole hit for the lyrics; I think they must have gone up very recently.) The album to which it belongs appears to be out of print and I get nothing from YouTube. Internet?

You're right; what Kirkby is singing is a version of the Child ballad, but actually, the version she sings is a bit more disturbing than the one listed on Wikipedia. I remember far more of it being a discussion between the ravens regarding what bits of the knight they'd most like to eat, and why! I haven't listened to it in a few years, though, so I'll dig up the file when I get home.

ETA: It is a variant on the Child ballad; not what you're looking for, in any case.
