Lyric

Obsidian Halos

Dieta Of My Playground

They forged your halo

Out of stone

Polished it smooth

But left it cold

You never wept

You never bled

Still we bowed

To what you said

No warmth

No grace

Just silence

Worn like faith

Obsidian halos — flawless and hollow

You shine like truth

But leave no shadow

A crown with no weight

On a face we can’t follow

Every law you wrote

Carved in glass

But when it cracked

It cut us back

Divine by error

Holy by void

Your justice feeds

But never destroys

They made you perfect

So you would never feel

You wore that light

Like a mask

But I see the cracks

Through your wrath

Obsidian halos — cracked by doubt

The god they built

Can’t burn us out

We see through glass

We speak aloud

And wear our scars

Like sacred shrouds

    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.
