Mild allegorical violence, philosophical themes
Detailed Analysis
These lyrics are largely abstract and philosophical in nature, exploring themes of human origins, community formation, survival, and primal instincts. The content touches on mild violence in the context of tribal/survival imagery ('throw to stay the stranger,' 'swore to crush his bones,' 'forge a blade to slay the stranger'), which is presented in an allegorical or historical context rather than glorified or graphic detail. There is no sexual content, profanity, drug or alcohol references, or explicitly disturbing imagery. The violence is thematic and metaphorical, reflecting humanity's early development and the tension between community-building and aggression toward outsiders. The overall message deals with humanity's nature, will, purity, and the cycle of civilization. While some imagery of violence against 'the stranger' could prompt discussion, it is not graphic or gratuitous.

Lyrics
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 Move by will alone Move by will alone
