Water, fire and smoke　　Grace Griffith It's been a long journey to come to this place I've traveled in time, I've traveled in space I've traveled in circles and come face to face With the water, fire and smoke I've pondered and worried, I've tightened the rope Feasted on sorrow and starved out my hope Now I come like a lover, my heart in my throat Give me water, fire and smoke Water for cleansing my eyes and my ears Fire the transformer of sorrows and fears Smoke for my ancestors drawing them near With the water, fire and smoke *So run from the churchyard, the word and the cross Run to the forest, to the rivers and the rocks You will find the green altar deep in the moss You'll find water, fire and smoke Ancient the spirits of rocks, trees and wind Ancient the rights of the green sacrament Long before judgment, atonement and sin There was water, fire and smoke I've laid down my burden, the weight of my years Gods I have worshipped and causes held dear But who will I be When they all disappear into water, fire and smoke? I've knelt in the ashes, in peace may I rise Empty of knowing and full of surprise Clothed all in silence A daughter baptized in the water, fire and smoke (*)

水、火和煙　　葛芮絲格里菲斯 經過長途跋涉來到了這裡 我穿越了時空 走過了輪迴，才得以面對面 以水、火和煙 我曾憂慮深思，我曾緊拉繩索 我讓哀傷大啖飽餐，讓希望成為餓殍 如今我像一個戀人前來，心底焦躁不安 給我水、火和煙 以水洗我眼、淨我耳 以火將哀傷與恐懼移形換影 以煙讓祖先們靠近 以水、火和煙 逃離教堂墓園、箴言和十字架 跑向森林、河流和岩石 你會在青苔深處找到綠色的聖壇 你將找到水、火和煙 古老的岩石、樹木和風之魂魄 遠古的綠色聖禮的權利 早在審判、贖罪和罪惡以前 就有了水，火和煙 我已卸下重擔，那過往歲月的重量 我崇敬的神明以及珍視的目標 我將變成什麼樣的人？ 當這一切如水、火和煙一樣消逝 在灰燼中跪禱，在平靜中起身 毫無察覺卻又充滿驚喜 那是寂靜中穿戴整齊 在水、火與煙中受洗的女兒
