Where the elements reign
Was found an alchemist's stone
& it was given a name
& had its secrets made known
Recall the Lord's Castle
With its walls giving way
Meet again at the Crossroads
To the Trinity pray
Here roams naught but the wind
& it has seen a lot
Yet a cold heart has this wind
& it troubles it not
& the tumbleweeds spin
As they're driven along
By the cold-hearted wind
As it whistles its songs
An ode to a wasteland
At the dawn of scorched earth
Advent of a savior
The Destroyer of Worlds
Lord of all that is vicious
It is Thee I invoke
The element most pernicious
Offer forth from Thy trove
With primeval fire it sparkles
With all its might it be hurled
To spend a light to the darkness
& an end to the world
& the cold-hearted wind keeps whistling along...

What's it actually about? Did you get the meaning?
Feel free to take a guess before scrolling down for the explanation.
Suggestions:
Do you say it is about
a) Alchemy
b) Religion/Satanism
c) Nuclear weapons
d) It's an invocation
It's ONE of the above; did you pick one?
...
Think about these... why would a Satanist suggest to pray to the Trinity?
The "alchemist's stone" was given a name... what name might that be?
...
The wind has only the role of a passive observer in the scenario, and even the savior is only an allegory - the Destroyer of Worlds? - it's only about what he does...
So, here's my inspiration, my fave of all faves on Youtube.
That sure explains everything... well no, not really everything, but at least which of the 4 options above is the correct one.
The title, Saturnium, is actually a hint at uranium and plutonium, of course.
The three words capitalized in the 2nd verse are names that were used for nuclear weapons test programs: Castle, Crossroads, and most famously Trinity, the first nuclear bomb test ever.
So, the name of this alchemist's stone is certainly Plutonium, and the correct answer is, of course, answer c).
