Lysis
Lysis (/ˈlaɪsɪs/, LEYE-sis; Greek λύσις lýsis, "a loosing" from λύειν lýein, "to unbind") refers to the breaking down of the membrane of a cell, often by viral, enzymic, or osmotic (that is, "lytic" /ˈlɪtɪk/, LI-tik) mechanisms that compromise its integrity. A fluid containing the contents of lysed cells is called a lysate. In molecular biology, biochemistry, and cell biology laboratories, cell cultures may be subjected to lysis in the process of purifying their components, as in protein purification, DNA extraction, RNA extraction, or in purifying organelles.
Many species of bacteria are subject to lysis by the enzyme lysozyme, found in animal saliva, egg white, and other secretions. Phage lytic enzymes (lysins) produced during bacteriophage infection are responsible for the ability of these viruses to lyse bacterial cells.Penicillin and related β-lactam antibiotics cause the death of bacteria through enzyme-mediated lysis that occurs after the drug causes the bacterium to form a defective cell wall. If cell wall is completely lost, the bacterium is referred as a protoplast if penicillin was used on gram-positive bacteria, and spheroplast when used on gram-negative bacteria.

Swell The Seas
by: Widow SundayGrind away the skies above
And dismantle darkened clouds
Incinerate the blighted earth
Fan the flame of your demise
Trampled life beneath the weight of a thousand locust hordes
The strip-mine devastation leaves us broken, bruised and blind
Kill and make a stranger of your enemy
Kill and make a stranger of your family tree
How long before you and I are worth our weight in gold?
Sacrificial slaughter so the upper crust could breathe
Ignorance is bliss until you watch the hammer fall
As the waves crash down your cities crumble over and over and fall
Crushing all that sits beneath your precious fucking crown
Swell the seas to cleanse us of our crimes
Trust we so foolishly put in you
Let you take control of all we have
Trust we so foolishly put in you
Let you take control
Consuming every last resource until the rivers flow with tears
The cancer of this tattered earth finally disappeared
Ignorance is bliss until you watch the hammer fall
As the waves crash down your cities crumble over and over and fall
Crushing all that sits beneath your precious fucking crown
Swell the seas to cleanse us of our crimes
Lay back and close your eyes
Breathe deep and end your life
Kill and make a stranger of your enemy
Kill and make a stranger of your family tree
Ignorance is bliss until you watch the hammer fall
As the waves crash down your cities crumble over and over and fall
Crushing all that sits beneath your precious fucking crown
Swell the seas to cleanse me of my crimes
