Lye
A lye is a liquid obtained by leaching ashes (containing largely potassium carbonate or "potash"), or a strong alkali which is highly soluble in water producing caustic basic solutions. "Lye" is commonly the alternative name of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) or historically potassium hydroxide (KOH).
Today, sodium hydroxide is commercially manufactured using a membrane cell chloralkali process. It is one of the highest volume industrial chemicals with world-wide annual production of 45 million tons in 1998. It is supplied in various forms such as flakes, pellets, microbeads, coarse powder or a solution.
Applications
Food uses
Lyes are used to cure many types of food, including the traditional Nordic lutefisk, olives (making them less bitter), canned mandarin oranges, hominy, lye rolls, century eggs, and pretzels. They are also used as a tenderizer in the crust of baked Cantonese moon cakes, in "zongzi" (glutinous rice dumplings wrapped in bamboo leaves), in chewy southern Chinese noodles popular in Hong Kong and southern China, and in Japanese ramen noodles.They are also present in Kutsinta.

Lye
by: Josephine CollectiveA little girl sits in her new dress
Alone on the cold concrete front steps
And cries to herself, wondering when
Or if, she'll ever see her father again
Why don't we try harder than last time
To dry our eyes and smile
Someday, oh I'll make time
Yeah maybe, but not tonight
I'm trying as hard as I
Can to believe you
Don't lie
A killer without a conscience cries
Alone in his cold bedroom at night
Perpetually asking why, oh why
Am I so lonely, while he sharpens his knives
Why don't we try harder than last time
To dry our eyes and smile
Someday, oh I'll make time
Yeah maybe, but not tonight
I'm trying as hard as I
Can to believe you
Don't lie
You don't get it
This is it, your last chance to dance
You don't get it, no
A father who left his daugher's side
And slowly exhales for the last time
Someday, oh I'll make time
Yeah maybe, but not tonight
I'm trying as hard as I
Can to believe you
Don't lie
Someday, oh I'll make time
Yeah maybe, but not tonight
I'm trying as hard as I
Can to believe you
I don't believe you
I want to believe you
Don't lie
