Please pardon me if this has been mentioned before, but here are my beliefs for the Intension lyrics.

"pure as we begin
here we have a stone
gather, place, -and raise so-
shelter turned to home."

originally

"gather, place, [erase] so" hmm, that doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

Theory:

erase, pronounced, E-race
also pronoucned, *ehh-race <
(*ehh, as in a sigh or suggestion, not as in a Canadian eh!)

okay, so gather, place, eh-race, so....
now, think of it as: gather, place, en race so

Spoken quickly, and can sound like both eh and en. "We did it and (en) we did it again." If said quickly. Hmm... So perhaps in Maynard's quick vocals, and is pronounced as en.

So now we have:
Gather, place, and race, so.

Raise, pronounced like, ra-AZE, or rr-AZE. Depending on a person's accent, Raise can sound like Raze, which can also be an alteration of the Race pronunciation.

Finally,
Gather, place, and raise, so

Think about. I know I wasn't all too clear, but it fits.
