(PSN)CaptKentucky Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Late into the night, in a usual quiet corner of Fortuna, a group of voices lifts in song. At least one is even in tune. “The Engineer’s Lament” My railjack it is still building My railjack still needs some time My railjack needs half a million I may have to go do some crime CHORUS: Building, building I’m building my railjack to fly to fly Building, building I’m building my railjack to fly And so here I am out on Venus Sent here by Cephalon Sy I’m doing whatever he tells me He sure needs a poke in the eye CHORUS And finally there is the cowling Installed on my railjack so true But still I can’t fly round the system Because it takes twelve hours to do CHORUS But now I am flying unhindered And shooting each ship that I see Not long til I conquer the cosmos A Tenno whose wings are now free CHORUS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyMeta Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 In the past on an unknown day this light was lost as the hope of winning like the hopes of living at peace But one day, but one night, they woke up they returned Along with the hope that others took from us that others robbed us The light began, the light began to shine again, again today We get up together to them to reach every corner to reach every hideout where Tenno must arrive Where we all should go The light began, the light began to shine again, again today Stars awaken Railjack is ready for flight The enemy is close us They cant touch us We'll never give up The time is over We're ready for flight We are ready... are ready Ready for fight ---------------------------------------- I had a music in mind but now everything is confusing LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

System: Xbox GT: Dehoedrated Ride the waves of a dying star, Ride the waves of a dying star Setting a course for the void, we wander Training ourselves to be a warrior Leaving behind our greedy ancestors Among the stars we will drop our anchors As we ride the waves of a dying star, Ride the waves of a dying star Saving the weak from a war-torn cosmos Ever at the helm with our gun and blade close Strum the chords of a blood-stained shawzin Sing the songs of the homes we've forgotten As we ride the waves of a dying star, Ride the waves of a dying star Staring down the barrels of the endless Grineer Stealing all the wealth from a Corpus profiteer Burning away the rot of the Infested Awaiting the day our might will be contested As we ride the waves of a dying star, Ride the waves of a dying star.

(PSN)Royal_Snek Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Tenno, the new war is coming Tenno, the railjack is forming (Chorus) Keep the sentients at bay, increase the ship's shield array get a new hull weave before it's too late or we won't win the day Tenno, the betrayers have been betrayed Tenno, your faces are all but greyed (Chorus) The lotus is gone but we must continue on because our life must go on so we can make it to see another day Tenno, crewships are swarming Tenno, ramsleds are incoming (Chorus) This is ship is our home, so aim at the head and make these intruders begone because to these optimists we are not buying Tenno, the system is calling Tenno, the grineer are enlarging (Chorus) Your debts have been paid, you're empyrean journey has been laid, so let us set sail and let our reflection be made Tenno, our journey is not over Tenno, our crew must be made stronger (Chorus) The sentients are still evolving and this problem needs solving, so we let them continue without our involving. Tenno, begin our operation Tenno, this sector needs saving (Chorus) As the Tenno we save, capture and we slay all so we can save this system from disarray, so be it grineer, or the corpus or even the lotus we shall continue to fight our way.

Dan_Bob Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 (edited) My submission: The Grineer swore to Captain Vor that they would not be victims The Tenno blew them all to hell & Vor was farmed for Systems! Down they fall, come one come all, no matter where they came from Yo ho yo ho and so it goes for those who mess with Space Mom! The Tubemen swore to Tyl Regor that they were willing and able The Tenno cut them all to shreds, their aim was ever fatal! Down they fall, come one come all, no matter where they came from Yo ho yo ho and so it goes for those who mess with Space Mom! The Corpus swore and then some more than they were losing money Their robots slain, their lives in pain; their ships were broke & crummy Down they fall, come one come all, no matter where they came from Yo ho yo ho and so it goes for those who mess with Space Mom! The ghouls they bore into the core of earthen plains, so sunny We burnt their nests and stomped their chests, Hek didn’t find it funny Down they fall, come one come all, no matter where they came from Yo ho yo ho and so it goes for those who mess with Space Mom!

-AoN-CanoLathra- Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 (edited) Captain sings the verse, the rest of the crew sing the chorus: "Now do we go out, with stars in our eyes, (Chorus) Yay! Hay! Hoy Away! Not one of us knowing if he lives or he dies! (Chorus) To far reaches of space, when none should dwell, (Chorus) Full of Sentient forces and ne'er-do-wells! (Chorus) With a ship filled full, fit to burst at the seams, (Chorus) With arms and ammo, with hopes and dreams! (Chorus) So now we ride into the night, (Chorus) To join our brothers in the fight! (Chorus) (Chorus, but the captain joins in) Total words, without the abbreviation of the chorus: 108 This one is intended to be a more traditional shanty, and would be the sort of things the original Railjack crews might have sung in the Old War, now resurrected for the New War.

Oh Mother, Oh Mother, Why have you gone? Oh Mother, Oh Mother, For we have lost. <Chorus> We sail the vast void, in search of the truth. For your song guides us, but where... has it gone? We seek the one, who raised, and praised us. But are left all alone, to float on this endless Seeeeaaaa. <Chorus> We watched, as he took you. We watched, as you fade. We seek you out, but to no avail. The void demon, called our name. <Chorus> Equipped, and prepared. We sought to set sail! Through the abyss, set for void! To finally take you back, Dear Mother! <Chorus> We found a the derelict ship, Full of Sentience! With but mournful Cries. We slashed, and bashed, our way through! Seeking just to find you! But instead.. We found but a vision, a facade. Right? <Chorus> Oh Natah, Oh Natah, Why did you lie all these years? Oh Natah, Oh Natah, Does your siren's song know no end? Oh Mother, Oh Mother, Were you ever there? Oh Motherm Oh Mother, Now were left, to the Void. Hey kiddo~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LostEpoch Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Wanted to emphasize the main purpose of the Railjack, keeping back the Sentients. Don't write music often but work has introduced me to many shanties. Tau Bound: With cannon shot and battles fought, They’ll be Tau bound, Tau bound The mother slain and nothing to gain, They’ll be Tau bound With kubrodon bite And old Dax’s fight We speed to the fray At Hunhow’s dismay With cannon shot and battles fought, They’ll be Tau bound, Tau bound The mother slain and nothing to gain, They’ll be Tau bound Now we take flight For the Orokin plight As the Sentient bane We hunt them amain With cannon shot and battles fought, They’ll be Tau bound, Tau bound The mother slain and nothing to gain, They’ll be Tau bound Down the war path To bring Void wrath Godspeed to the Veil As we close on their trail With cannon shot and battles fought, They’ll be Tau bound, Tau bound The mother slain and nothing to gain, They’ll be Tau bound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitchano Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 The Saturn Round The charges loaded, rev is full, and crew be good to fly A Saturn round to stand our ground where all that dirac lie. Way-ho off we go, start the systems, set the shield, Way-ho off we go, from home we leave, to far afield. Cy by the helm, crew at their post, captain on the wheel, We ride on men, through the void, excitement all we feel. Way-ho off we go, start the systems, set the shield, Way-ho off we go, from home we leave, to far afield. There she lie, Saturn neigh, Surrounded by grineer, Crew to your post, ready the sling, with us they'll know true fear. Way-ho off we go, start the systems, set the shield, Way-ho off we go, from home we leave, to far afield. The ram deployed, and fleet destroyed, their ships now commandeered We set to search, for all that merch, until the regions cleared. Way-ho off we go, start the systems, set the shield, Way-ho off we go, from home we leave, to far afield. Our crew dead tired, the engines fired, he headed off home-bound, Laden with dirac, we make it back, ending our Saturn round. Way-ho off we go, start the systems, set the shield, Way-ho off we go, from home we leave, to far afield. From home we leave, to far afield.
