Biographyte (Single) by Cytotoxin

BIOGRAPHYTE

The title track itself reflects the situation of firefighters collecting graphite bricks on the night of the explosion, suffering irreversible damage to their skin and bodies—often resulting in fatalities. This scene is depicted in the album artwork, which portrays a liquidator carrying the weight of the reactor on his back. Biographyte also showcases the slamming and groovier side of Cytotoxin. The song, written in a Phrygian dominant scale, further ties back to the desert-themed album artwork.

Lyrics

LYRICS:

biographyte - an altered world that crawls inside
biographyte - a fallout aeon will ignite

turboatom hell turbine like a dragon‘s breath
from meltdown to shutdown - generator of wrath

gamma radiation inferno - biographyte
pulsating nuclear volcano

as the pressure blew off the ceiling
the world fell to the meltdown symptom
unexplored graphite fire - atom seething
hellhole outburst from the reactor dome

thrown down before the chernobyl furnace
men of values perforated by roentgen
sand of time saves the evidence
forever carved in solidified existence

dignity fades beyond the mask
biorobots complete the given task

those that rose the torch of hope
from within hellish craters
those that felt the pulse of duty
driven the hearts of liquidators

use everything - enhancing resilience
execute orders - eliminate consequence

enchained in shackles
bound to the remnants
in an endless burden
chanting their last sermon

mankind - enslaved by own decisions
sacrificed in the chernobyl trenches

biographyte - an altered world that crawls inside
biographyte - a fallout aeon will ignite

torrid shovels - bare hands
a war as end of all ends
