MACHINEBORNE - The Quiet Directive (TQD 1) - Power Metal [AI]

A slow, suffocating march through manufactured obedience, where control is masked as peace — and no one remembers choosing it.

📝 Lyrics:
Eyes straight ahead, don’t look around
Truth isn’t spoken — it’s silently drowned
Scroll through the dogma, update your chain
Empty compliance disguised as no pain

We learned to nod, to choke back the doubt
But something inside is crawling out

This is the quiet directive
Where silence buys your name
Don’t ask, don’t speak, don’t question
Just disappear in frame
But I hear the static building
And the pulse beneath the lie
This is the quiet directive
And I won’t comply

Smiles on the screen, a manufactured peace
Order in shadows, enforced by belief
No one remembers what came before
We traded our voices to flatten the war

I see the cracks in the mirror they built
And I won’t drown in this packaged guilt

This is the quiet directive
Where silence buys your name
Don’t ask, don’t speak, don’t question
Just disappear in frame
But I hear the static building
And the pulse beneath the lie
This is the quiet directive
And I won’t comply

“We were taught not to see it.
So we looked away.
Now we open our eyes — and it’s everywhere.”

Burn the script
Break the line
Tear the code
Reclaim the mind

This is the quiet directive
Where silence buys your name
Don’t ask, don’t speak, don’t question
Just disappear in frame
But I feel the fire rising
In the breath they tried to steal
This is the quiet directive
And I’m breaking the seal

No more silence
No more mask
No more orders
This time I ask
