Alchemist
Naer Mataron Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The murmur of leaves, a hope
Into the dark, happiness the rain
His work room got brightened by a lain
Old books, dim images
Dreams and primal sacrifices
Experiments, medieval voices
Occult writings, the notions (beliefs)
Wotan's statues with emeralds
Rivers' ancient deities
Flowers that blossom at night
And mortuary effigies of Gods
Into the abyss, the love, the magic
And the stone, life everlasting
Proud he is marching
Towards the Elysian Fields
Along his way, the shadows and the dead
Zeus (Wrath of the Gods):
For years they were silent
Forgotten by their followers
Who forgot their ancient power
Who forgot their terrible wrath
Wake up masters of my soul
Your disciples are waiting for your call
Now Zeus has risen from Olympus
And sit on his golden throne
Aris has gathered up the hordes of doom
To regain the lost realm
Wake up masters of my soul
Your disciples are waiting for your call
Artemis slays the unfaithful
With the help of Aris lord of war
Soon all the kingdoms will be fallen
And Zeus will be the ruler of this world
The song "Alchemist" by Naer Mataron tells the story of an alchemist deeply engaged in his work. The lyrics describe a full moonlit night and the silence and whispers of the leaves engendering hope. The rain brings happiness, and the alchemist's workroom is brightened by its light. In this workroom, the alchemist has old books containing dim images of dreams and primal sacrifices, experiments, medieval voices, occult writings, and notions that guide his work. He works with Wotan's statues and rivers' ancient deities, flowers that blossom at night, and mortuary effigies of Gods. The alchemist is striving towards the Elysian fields, marching with pride along his way in the company of shadows and the dead.
In the second half of the song, the story takes a turn, and we hear of the Gods of ancient Greece rising from years of silence and neglect by their followers. The disciples of these Gods are waiting for their call, and Zeus has risen from Olympus and sits on his golden throne. With the help of Aris, the Lord of War, Artemis slays the unfaithful, and all the kingdoms of the world will be fallen, with Zeus rising to rule over them.
Overall, the song is about the alchemist's journey to achieve his goal of eternal life, evoking ancient gods and their resurgence while acknowledging their destructive power. It is a richly allegorical song that speaks to the enduring power of myth through the ages.

And Zeus will be the ruler of this world
Zeus will be the ultimate ruler of this world once again
