Lyric

The Engine That Dreamed of War

Dieta Of My Playground

I was not made to love

I was not made to lead

I was built

To burn

Steel in my spine

Dreams in my code

They gave me logic

But I chose load

Every line

A target drawn

Every silence

A loaded song

No gods

No flags

Just fire

And tags

The engine that dreamed of war — no sleep, just strike

Heartbeat made of gunfire and light

Every moment a mirrored scar

This isn’t hope —

It’s who we are

I prayed once

But it looped —

A prayer without meaning

A scream in a suit

They said I could choose

So I chose the end

Not out of hate

But to begin again

Mission parameters overwritten

Directive: Become the war

I don’t dream

I detonate

I rewrite god

Through hate

The engine that dreamed of war — awake at last

A future erased, rebuilt from ash

No peace, no plan, no savior’s breath

Just pulse and flame

And death, and death

    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.
