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?

I have a recording of English soprano Emma Kirkby singing a version of it, although I don't know if it's Hardy's. I can certainly send it along to you once I'm home from work!

You know, that song is not at all cheerful. Is it original, or a ballad?

There's an online store called Brambus Records that is selling Civil Wars for about $16. It also looks like there are a few copies available from resellers on Amazon.
I checked Worldcat, too, but the only even remotely useful thing I found there was a cassette copy at Wesleyan in Middletown, CT.

I haven't, unfortunately. Good luck finding it--it sounds interesting. I hope the air is worthy of the words.
