[Verse 1]
Straighten out your pleat
Demands have been besieged
Safe passage for the meek
Refusal to accede

[Pre-Chorus]
Deny the preconceived
For the preordained
We no longer grieve
For nothing is concrete

[Chorus]
Laid on the sleet
Laid with the reeds
Lay the concrete

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Continue the deceit
Pull them by their teeth
The excess is contained
Extracted from the maimed

[Pre-Chorus]
Deny the preconceived
For the preordained
We no longer grieve
For nothing is concrete
[Chorus]
Laid on the sleet
Laid with the reeds
Lay the concrete
Laid on the sleet
Laid with the reeds
Lay the concrete

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
Laid on the sleet
Laid with the reeds
Sleet
