The Elemental Philosopher

Illustrate the wizard's manipulation of the elements through rapidly shifting tempos and swirling motifs. Culminate with distorted electric guitar and heavy drum beats as he turns himself to stone, achieving his quest for immortality.
Lyrics
Intro: Organ and Flute]
[Verse 1]
In the chamber of ancient stone
Where flame obeys the patient hand
I summon winds from distant thrones
And bid the waters understand
Each element awaits my call
Through centuries of craft refined
[Verse 2]
The ember grows beneath my breath
A measured dance of heat and time
No hurried gesture tempts the death
Of power born from discipline sublime
I weave the air through fingers slow
While earth trembles at my feet below
[Chorus]
Master of the primal force
Bending nature to my course
Through the spiral I ascend
Fire and ice at my command
Master of the hidden way
Night surrenders into day
[Verse 3]
The tempest gathers at my word
Mountains bow to whispered song
Rivers shift where I have stirred
The fabric weak, my will is strong
Yet wisdom knows the price of haste
Control is won through measured grace
[Bridge: Tempo Shift - Flute Solo]
[Verse 4]
Now comes the hour of transformation
All elements converge as one
I cast aside my mortal station
The ritual cannot be undone
The flames rise higher, burning bright
As I dissolve into the light
[Chorus]
Master of the primal force
Breaking nature's ancient course
Through the spiral I transcend
Earth and sky within my hand
Master of eternal flame
Nothing shall remain the same
[Final Section: Heavy Guitar and Organ]
I am the storm!
I am the fire!
I am reborn!
Ever higher!
[Outro: Instrumental Crescendo]
