    This is a free CD of 11 of my favourite songs from the past 8 albums. I'm so confident you'll like it and come back for more that I'm offering this for free (if you don't mind paying p&p). If you'd like a cheaper option - the download is 100% free with no p&p required. It is professionally produced with super artwork.

    [Edit 16/09/2020 - Bandcamp won't let me add it for free, so it's 50p but I've taken that off the shipping! Sigh...]

    Much love,
    Matt

about

From the album "Chasing Down Wolves"

lyrics

You take our crops, and they burn our fields
You take the tithe and they loot the coin
You took our sons and you marched them to war
They took our daughters and sold them as slaves
You’re all living for power, for wealth and a name
We’re just trying to live
We’re just grist for the mill

Grist for the mill
‘Tween the hammer and the cross
The river keeps running
The wheel keeps on turning
The mill-stones keep grinding us down
We’re just grist for the mill

Don’t care much for kings, for priests or for lords
Don’t care who takes when there’s none left to give
You want our loyalty but what does that mean
When there’s been no harvest and no planting of seed
Hunger’s our enemy, a fight to the death
Without mercy or recourse or plea
We’re just grist for the mill

Grist for the mill
‘Tween the hammer and the cross
The river keeps running
The wheel keeps on turning
The mill-stones keep grinding us down
We’re just grist for the mill
