I reck'on this is some good band thinkin' uh huh yup.
The Evolution of "tools" by the hands of man and his will is one theme running through this song as you can read below. Whats genius is that the song starts with the drummer playing Tabla which is a North Indian method of playing. Indian temple scripture can be seen dating back thousands of years.
Then halfway through the song he uses an entirely synthesized kit completing the entire evolution of drumming all together. This in my opinion is good writing all over.
"Intension" - Tool
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 and raise so.
Shelter turns to home.
Pure as we begin.
Here we have a stone.
Throw to stay the stranger.
Swore to crush his bones.
Moved by will alone.
Spark becomes a flame.
Flame becomes a fire.
Light the way and 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.
