The Sorcerer
Magica Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I watch the sunlight fade into darkness
And silence fills the village and the sea
I raise my hands towards the heavens
To beg them end my agony
Smell the scent of my burning flesh
Everytime I touch a crucifix
I scream, I beg, I curse, I pray
And the sorcerer steps into my way

And down here at the crossroad of heaven and hell
The sorcerer pours me another keg of wine
How he knew, I will never understand
But he's whispering slowly,
The way to my magic land

Follow the moonlight into the forest
You must speak to the elder elf
Climb your way to the mountains of ice
Look for your strength in your inner self
Lead your steps in the magic cave
Remember the words that find the key
Fight the demon, sit on the throne
And read the scroll of stone !





"Copila mea, cand vei fi la necaz, gandeste-te la mine
Si vocea mea va birui timpul si spatiul, pentru a-ti veni in ajutor."

Overall Meaning

The song "The Sorcerer" by Magica tells the story of a person facing their own inner turmoil and seeking guidance from a sorcerer. The first verse paints a picture of a dark and quiet scene that sets the mood for the rest of the song. The singer is in agony and begs for relief, but every time they touch a crucifix, they feel the burning of their flesh. This suggests that the singer may be plagued by guilt and feels unworthy of forgiveness. The sorcerer then appears, standing in the singer's way.


In the chorus, the sorcerer leads the singer to a crossroad between heaven and hell, where they drink wine and the sorcerer reveals to the singer a way to their "magic land". In the second verse, the sorcerer gives the singer a set of instructions on how to overcome their struggles. They need to follow the moonlight, speak to the elder elf, climb mountains, find strength within themselves, navigate a magical cave, defeat a demon, and read a scroll of stone. These steps suggest that the singer needs to embark on an inner journey to find and confront their own demons, but also that they possess the strength and tools to do so.


The final line of the song, in Romanian, translates to "My child, when you are in trouble, think of me and my voice will overcome time and space, to come to your aid." This line adds a sense of comfort and protection to the story, as if the sorcerer will always be there to help the singer when they are in need.


Line by Line Meaning

I watch the sunlight fade into darkness
As the day ends and darkness approaches, I contemplate my miserable state


And silence fills the village and the sea
The calmness in the surroundings makes me reflect on my loneliness


I raise my hands towards the heavens
Desperately seeking aid, I reach to the skies


To beg them end my agony
Yearning to end my anguish, I plead to the heavens


Smell the scent of my burning flesh
With every touch of a crucifix, I feel the pain of being a sorceress


Everytime I touch a crucifix
Handling a crucifix brings reminders of my tormenting fate


I scream, I beg, I curse, I pray
My desperation leads me to scream, plead, use foul language and supplicate


And the sorcerer steps into my way
As I struggle with my emotions, the sorcerer comes to intervene


And down here at the crossroad of heaven and hell
In this uncertain world of good and evil, I'm lost and clueless


The sorcerer pours me another keg of wine
To calm my spirits, the sorcerer brings me more wine to drink


How he knew, I will never understand
I wonder how he knows what's best for me


But he's whispering slowly,
He's softly talking to me, revealing secrets


The way to my magic land
He gives me direction towards where to find my powers


Follow the moonlight into the forest
To get to my magic land, I must trail the gleam of the moon and go through the woods


You must speak to the elder elf
In the woods, I should consult the ancient fairy


Climb your way to the mountains of ice
I should make my way up the frozen mountains


Look for your strength in your inner self
I should focus on my inner power to find the strength I need


Lead your steps in the magic cave
Make your way to the mystical cave


Remember the words that find the key
Don't forget the words that unlock my powers


Fight the demon, sit on the throne
I must triumph over my fears and obstacles to take my rightful place


And read the scroll of stone!
When I attain success, I should read the text of the mighty stone


"Copila mea, cand vei fi la necaz, gandeste-te la mine Si vocea mea va birui timpul si spatiul, pentru a-ti veni in ajutor."
My sorcerer mentor assures me that my thoughts of him would call him through time and space whenever I need help
