    These are very special high resolution prints on Hahnemuele PhotoRag 308gsm paper. Individually printed to order and include a free digital download of the album.

    This incredible album artwork is by my friend, Afsoon Shahriari, who is a female artist living in Iran. All proceeds will go to Afsoon. She is living in incredibly difficult conditions, both as a woman in Iran dealing with their oppressive regime and as an artist coping with heavy American sanctions that restrict sales of her incredible work out of the country.

    These are printed especially to order so there will be around a 7 day turnaround to posting. I will ensure they are carefully packaged.

lyrics

as darkness fills the western sky
and sleep, the twin of death, is nigh
what soothes the soul, at set of sun?
a pleasant thought, of duty done

when i will weave these words
in holier light I yearn
but only dark is here
fast wears the night

must the pastoral, night slumbers be
the shepherds by the eastern tree
broken & brief, with dreams that tell
of ravaged flock, and poisoned well

when I will weave these words
in holier light I yearn
but only dark is here
fast wears the night

be still my soul, fast wears the night
soon shall day dawn, in holier light
old faces, ancient hearts, be there
and well-known voices thrill the air
