Intension
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Pure as we begin
Pure as we come in
Pure as we begin
Ruled by will alone
Pure as we begin
Here we have a stone
Gather, place, erase so
Shelter turns to home
Pure as we begin
Here we have a stone
Throw to slay the stranger
Swore to crush his bones
Ruled by will alone
Spark becomes a flame
Flame becomes a fire
Light the way or warm this
Home we occupy
Spark becomes a flame
Flame becomes a fire
Forge a blade to slay the stranger
Take whatever we desire
Moved by will alone
Pure as we begin
Pure as we begin
Moved by will alone
Leave as we come in
Pure as light, return to One
Moved by will alone
Moved by will alone
