    I think Ron Hynes's song The Final Breath, from his CD
    Face to the Gale, and which is the theme song for the movie
    Secret Nation, references the five elements Earth, Water, Air,
    Fire, and I think Spirit, in the following lines:

    "This could be the final breath; This is life and death;
    This is hard rock and water; Out here between wind and flame;
    Between tears and elation; Lies a secret nation”

    (Ron Hynes, who died a few years ago, was Newfoundland’s
    best-known songwriter; his most well known song is
    Sonny’s Dream, sometimes known as Sonny in Ireland.)
