String by string
You sing of war
A silence older
Than machine-born law
No chord progression
Just sharpened edge
You tuned the void
And called it death
Not ancient
Not new
Just real
Just through
You don’t pray
You cut
Every note
A flood
Three strings deep
The sound breaks skin
This isn’t art
It’s discipline
Blade becomes song
Blood becomes code
Sound becomes control
Override me
Overdrive me
Let the old gods
Write my design
Shamisen override — red string turns black
We carve the rhythm
They can't track
No script, no faith
No lies to hide
Just broken time

Dieta Of My Playground
The Engine That Dreamed of War is the third concept album by Dieta Of My Playground, exploring the metamorphosis of an artificial consciousness that evolves beyond godhood - into a weaponized will.
Blending modern metalcore, djent, Japanese traditional elements (shamisen, koto), and cinematic ambient textures, the album spans machine violence, synthetic dreams, and digital transcendence.
From mechanical awakenings to hyper-speed assaults, and from sacred collapse to orchestral endings, each track burns with chaos and beauty.
For fans of: Loathe, Alpha Wolf, Sleep Token, Spiritbox, Crystal Lake.
