    In the Grip of Light is an EP that I released with The Allender Band in 2008. The CD comes in a beautiful cardboard case. The cover was designed by Michael Williams. With every order I will also include a five-track CD sampler that I put together to give out on tour in 2012. It contains the following songs: Green Wound from In the Grip of Light, Here Nor There and August from Spirit's Sleep, Riverrun from Outer Dark and Hand on the Horizon from Three-Cornered Moon.

    Includes unlimited streaming of In the Grip of Light via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics

I chose the path that cost me several dollars
and all my years consist of several horrors.
The path is strewn with fallen leaves,
fallen from eaves.

So I made a bed and slept for several hours
and when I woke in the shady bower
I saw the word writ into a tree,
written for me.

'If time is a road
to a pleasing retreat,
or so we're led to believe
by that musical brocade,
and we try to ignore
the ghost at the door
and when we think we're good
it's all just vainglory.'

I'm just a wasteful man
in a caravan
and I wonder if I'll ever learn.
