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 stay 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
Move by will alone.
Leave as we come in.
Pure as light.
Return to one.

Review about Intension Human Nature | Reviewer: Will | 12/29/09
This song is about humans. When we are born, we are without fault, without corruption. "pure as we begin"... We have not been taught anything. "ruled by will alone"... Then society and human nature begin to be exerted upon us. Thoughts of hatred and anger and lust and all other negative things enter our mind. These thoughts soon become actions, and slowly evolve and become worse. "here we have a stone, throw to stay the stranger swore to crush his bones" then "forge a blade to slay the stranger, take whatever we desire"...

In my point of view, this song, and the entire album, is about the evolution of the human race and the desire to return to the state of tranquil peace of mind, living in the present moment, which every other species lives on.
It is the revelation after the enlightenment that is lateralus.
a high try | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/16/09
This song is simply defined by the title. It shows the point of view of people who settled some land(probably his family because of the beginning backwards message). The song's lyrics emphasize that his ancestrys intension was pure and innocent, despite the fact that they slayed the stranger and took whatever was desired.

if you play this song backwards there's a secret message at the beginning of the song (the original beginning^^) where he says "Go to school....Work hard... Your father is right..." and something else i don't remember^^
