Wet Cement

[Silence]

[Instrumental, Electric Guitar, Bass, Drums, Piano, Hammond Organ, Synth]

[Intro]

[Instrumental Intro: Deep Distorted Guitar, Heavy Bass Pulse, Slow Crushing Drums, Hammond Organ and Low Synth; Gradually Building Like a Mass Beginning to Move]
[Spoken Vocal]

You think it’s solid?

Wait.
(I care to debate)

Add water.

Add pressure.
(New future)
The motion…
(Gives ya the notion)

[Verse 1]
Standing there
It looked so still
Frozen there unaware
Waiting for the thrill

[Pre-Chorus]
Break it!
(Break it!)

Shake it!
(Shake it!)

Add a little water
And accelerate it!

[Refrain]
Hit me like a ton
(Of wet cement)
She wasn’t done…
(Is what’s meant)

She kept flowing
(… kept going)
Not too discrete…
(Raging like wet concrete)

[Chorus]
Wet cement!
(Wet cement!)

Rolling down the mountain

Wet cement!
(Wet cement!)

Like a raging fountain

Solid pieces
In a fluid dance

Pressure gives them
A second chance
(Wet concrete)
Nothing stays discrete!

[Verse 2]
Water doesn’t have to push
The mountain from above
… all it has to do
Substitute for a shove
[Instrumental]
[Heavy Progressive-Rock Groove: Distorted Guitar Riff, Tremolo Bass, Floor Toms, Hammond Organ and Metallic Percussion; Rhythm Becomes Increasingly Fluid and Syncopated]

[Verse 3]
She wasn’t done
When she hit the floor
She gathered more
Then she had before

Entrainment!
(Entertainment!)
Not too discrete
(Not too discrete!)

Pieces lose
Their separate beat

[Bridge]
Wet cement…
(Hellbent)
Saturated
(Underated)
Pressurized
(Pulverized)

[Rap Vocal Break]
Hit!
(Hit!)

Like a ton!
(And then some)

Down!
(Smiles frown)

And she’s not done

More!
(More!)

Coming in
(Like never before)

Rock and roll
(Took their toll)

Break apart
(Stops the heart)

Come together
(Weather the whether)

[Breakdown]
[Music Drops to Deep Bass, Sparse Guitar Harmonics and Water-Like Synth Pulses]

Hit me…

[Whispered]

Like a ton…

Of wet cement.

[Pause]

She wasn’t done.

[Low Response]

No, no deterrent

[Drums Slowly Enter]

She kept flowing…

[Response]

Kept going…

[Full Band]

RAGING LIKE WET CONCRETE!
(Better wear a helmet)

[Final Refrain]
Hit me like a ton
(Of wet cement)
She wasn’t done…
(Is what’s meant)

She kept flowing
(… kept going)
Not too discrete…
(Raging like wet concrete)

[Final Chorus]
Wet cement!
(Put a dent!)

Flowing through the valley
(Rollin’ up the scenery)

Wet cement!
(Hellbent!)

Nothing’s gonna stop it

Pressure!
(That’s for sure)
… what can endure

Entrainment!
(Entertainment!)

Pull the whole thing into one!
(Till the whole things… undone)

Wet cement!
(Wet cement!)

Raging like wet concrete!
(Landscape’s in defeat)

[Climactic Instrumental]
[Extended Guitar Solo: Crushing Progressive-Rock Lead With Hammond Organ, Deep Bass and Massive Drums; Rhythmic Layers Accelerate and Then Suddenly Stop]

[Spoken Over Final Riff]
… what started as a mountain…
(No longer is certain)

[Final Hit]

WET CEMENT!
(Left a dent)

[Outro]
[Instrumental Outro: Low Guitar Feedback, Distant Thunderous Drums, Bass Pulse and Fading Water Texture]

Still?

[Pause]

… until
(Ill)
