[DE]Helen Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 (edited) The sailors of old knew that nothing could capture the wonder of the open sea like music and poetry - a sea shanty! Launching our Railjacks, we now seek to capture the wonder of open space. Show us by writing a space shanty that you and your Empyrean crew would be proud to sing. How to enter: Write original lyrics to a shanty fit for you and your Empyrean crew! Maximum 250 words Need an example? Spoiler Start engines and prepare for the long haul! The stars they will answer, The stars they will guide us, Follow the Void’s call! Armaments ready we stand fast and tall. Grineer they will answer, Grineer they will find us, Follow the Void’s call! Learn well from those lost and fight for us all. The past she will answer, The past she will mind us, Follow the Void’s call! The cold heart of deep space surrounds our souls. Our courage will answer, Our courage will push us Beyond what we know. Sentient malice bleeds, strikes, and divides. All Tenno will answer, All Tenno stand by us, The Void is on our side. Dream of that which unites us all! With blood we will answer, Our Warframes will bind us, Follow the Void’s call! Rules: Only 1 submission per person Submission must be appropriate for the community forums Submission must be your original work Submission must not exceed 250 words Do not reserve posts in this thread Submissions that do not follow these rules will be disqualified. Prizes: 1st place – Ivara Prime Access! 2nd place – 1000 Platinum! 3rd place – 750 Platinum! 4th place – 500 Platinum! 5th place – 250 Platinum! Winners will be determined based on the quality of the lyrics themselves. No extra points will be awarded for recording your shanty, but none will be taken away if you do either (so please feel free!) The contest is on now and ends Thursday, January 30 at 1:00 PM ET. ALL PLAYERS FROM EACH PLATFORM CAN PARTICIPATE! Just now, [DE]Helen said: I can't stress enough how much we loved reading your space shanties. We had to take an extra week to choose the winners because there were so many amazing submissions! There was no way we could choose just five winners, so we decided to choose 10 lyrics winners and 5 recording winners instead. Your talent and creativity are a delight. Thank you all!

(NSW)Voplkm Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Высь стремится вечный просто за теми заездами идёт покой как проснётся тенно снами так война начнётся вновь . Слышит грохот из темна это корпус сеет тьму покорят Гриннир небеса заразит все порчей тьма . Но тенно прав, во тьме идёт война через звёзды придёт она Лотос не забудет никогда . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DisguisedKoala Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Do they need to be based on existing shanty’s? is it just lyrics? No notes or something like that to know how it goes with tones and such? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(XBOX)UmbranAssassin Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 (edited) Does the 250 word limit apply to a small description of what we based the shanty on. With how may shanties there are out there and different ways they're sung. I just figured we should be able to at least add in a short description of which shanty we based ours on so everyone knows exactly what tune we're going for and possibly our inspiration for said shanty Edited January 23, 2020 by (XB1)UmbranAssassin left something out I wanted to include in my question 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drag0nhearted Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Grineer surround us and try as they might To rupture the hull and viciously fight... They tug on the cables and fires ignite, But we push them back and we'll do what's right, Because we're the Tenno, the Void's true light! Gunner, fire the turrets, Pilot, carry us on, Tactician, board the enemies, Engineer, keep us strong. Through each proxima, we navigate Together with our closest mates. We know the path: dark, true and straight. We've got no time to sit here and wait! For sailing the railjack is our only fate! Gunner, fire the turrets, Pilot, carry us on, Tactician, board the enemies, Engineer, keep us strong. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormGaiden Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 -Going into outer Space, much like sailing the 7 seas Our crew aboard the Railjack, our bullets'll ne'er miss!
