Saintmythi Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 not sure what you plan to do with the winning shanties if anything seeing as some are copy righted already like the jackdaw. seeing as every entry so far is not shanties or a re-worded work. here is my reworded version of yo-ho. this is not a copy righted work and by no means my song, all i can take credit for is rewording it. RECOGNIZE DE and the devs stole the soul from creed and thought we wouldn't know. the game be ours and by the powers take back the controls. yo ho all together stop this plagiarism, reword and call it your own. heave-ho thieves and beggars this "contest" should not exist. the railjack has died cas it was never alive and some just want to play. with the keys of this cage and the devil to pay DE make something else. the ship was raised from its sandy grave, only to return. a call to all, don't heed DE and turn your back on railjack. yo-ho DE and devs we want something fun to play. heave-ho casuals and raiders, never shall we die. -END furthermore not sure how you ended up on "railjack" but it is not a on rail shooter. no ship on sea or in space is called a jack except the name of the ship in black flag. just wish the railjack was as fun as the jackdaw. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(NSW)Motoko76 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Railjack Shanty We fly around in space, At breathtaking pace. Ship, rigged to wreck, Beware! Tenno on deck! We’re no navy, We’re no pirates! We do what is right, And keep up the good fight! We’re no saints, But we have no complaints. It’s always a pleasure. To fill the hold with treasure!

ESPnerd Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Ohhhhh, the Void runs cold, We take our loot and don’t get old. Ohhhhh, the ‘Jacks we sail, We Translate in and see foes quail. With a flash and a jolt, How the sling shoots a bolt, An escort of ‘Jack fire - As we unleash our old ire. Ohhhhh, the Void shines bright, Clear the way with its pure light. Ohhhhh, the foe once lost, Our once deep sleep will have its cost. With a dash and a shot, Flying Archwing or not, The Capital ships fall - And on our foes we stand tall. Ohhhhh, the Void hides a face, Staring out from that unreal place. Ohhhhh, we hear siren calls, In the knocking on our walls. Fighters come, fighters die, Webs of shot that they try, To entrap and kill us now - But our courage will not cow. Ohhhhh, the Void rings true, Feel its power come through you. Ohhhhh, though we stay young, On past sorrow we are hung. With our foes shattered here, Nothing left living near, Back to our Dojo we go - And from there Void only knows. Ohhhhh, the Void we sail, Other objects we can’t hail. Ohhhhh, the wyrm we saw, Seeking now forever more. The ‘Jack, she’s a-rising, a-rising from the deep! With restored functions and a crew thats new, We’ll raise our trophy heap! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

64ozP0rkCh0p Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Leave Her Tenno I thought I heard Commander say: "Leave her, Tenno, leave her." The Galleons soon shall come our way, And it's time for us to leave her. Leave her, Tenno, leave her! Oh, leave her, Tenno, leave her! For space is vast and the 'Jack is slow And it's time for us to leave her. Oh the Void did howl, the Grineer turned tail. "Leave her, Tenno, leave her!" The 'Jack held fast and we prevailed, And it's time for us to leave her. Leave her, Tenno, leave her! Oh, leave her, Tenno, leave her! For space is vast and the 'Jack is slow And it's time for us to leave her. Cephalon Cy spearheaded our quest. "Leave her, Tenno, leave her!" Now to the dock we sail to let the 'Jack rest, And it's time for us to leave her. Leave her, Tenno, leave her! Oh, leave her, Tenno, leave her! For space is vast and the 'Jack is slow And it's time for us to leave her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(XBOX)Corvo314 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 The Void it called, It drenched our halls, And only spared the young. Machines they came, Monsters we tamed, And blood and gold did run. Void calls, engines road. Charge through stars and sky! When Lotus to wake us all, We'll take our wings and fly! A prize for crones, The scourge of clones, The taxmen clench their shares. They know the flower, And fear our power, We cut down all who dare. Void calls, engines road. Charge through stars and sky! When Lotus to wake us all, We'll take our wings and fly! Our mother lost, The lines were crossed, The family's not our own. We've raised the wrecks, And manned the decks, We fight to save our home. Void calls, engines road. Charge through stars and sky! When Lotus to wake us all, We'll take our wings and fly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilitris Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Времени пыль укрыла память И чувства стёрлись полёта во мгле Но случай помог всё это исправить И вот я стою на своём корабле Обшивка потёрта следы от пробоин Мы с ним в сраженьях бывали не раз Он не игрушка он старый воин Но когда-нибудь бездна примет и нас Путь к звёздам По трупам и крови Путь к звёздам Лотос очнись Путь к звёздам Но оно того стоит Пусть выбора нет Ведь война наша жизнь Мы были оружием им и остались Но в нас теперь мерцает душа Земля, Сатурн и туманность вуали Без жизни всё это не стоит гроша Очистим же звёзды от зараженья Корпус, Гринир отправим во тьму Крики врагов и страх поражения Награда для тех, кто вступит в борьбу Путь к звёздам По трупам и крови Путь к звёздам Лотос очнись Путь к звёздам Но оно того стоит Пусть выбора нет Ведь война наша жизнь Честь и отвага смешались с металлом Мы свет во тьму приносили с тобой Не раз галеоны Гренир пылали А мы возвращались с победой домой Я верю в команду и верю в удачу Я верю, что всё это было не зря Но время настанет мы клыки свои спрячем Покой обретёт цефалон корабля Путь к звёздам По трупам и крови Путь к звёздам Лотос очнись Путь к звёздам Но оно того стоит Пусть выбора нет Ведь война наша жизнь ----- ----------------- ------------------ ------ Интересно а на русском работы вообще рассматриваются?:) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X.e.n.i.a Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 For this shanty I took the perspective of a Dax crew fighting the sentients at war. I need more backstory!

Lavan, Vidar, Zetki, HA! From space treasure a plenty, HA! Though she be cold, wonders she holds The Railjack carries us all Engines, Forges, Turrets, HA! Nav' is active and ready, HA! The voyage is long so sing a song Set a course to the veil! We fight this war for the Orokin empire Sentients we push back! Dax fight for our masters Quellor in hand Pennant on our back! Not a soul more loyal a strike more deadly, than a Dax crew poised to attack! We have these orders strengthen our borders Munitions we do not lack! For battle we are ready, HA! Power from the reliquary, HA! The void we speak not of, harnessed but no control of The void will swallow you whole Avionics connected, HA! The crew is collected, HA! A Shawzin put's us at ease, but there like a disease Is the beat of the Naga Drums HA! HA! HA! This war has just begun! We fight this war for the Orokin empire Sentients we push back!

Gardenator Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 (edited) I have the idea of a few Tenno being unable to move on when faced with the truth from recent events, banding together, lost in despair, sailing off into the unknown to become a kind of "ghost ship". The captain would sing each verse, with the rest of the crew replying with the chorus, in time to the words in bold, in a kind of dirge. Perhaps someone finds this scratched into a wall, with a group of inert warframes scattered throughout the ship... (Chorus) The Serpent with a Siren's song, Fled to where the soulless belong. Great deceiver, lied all along, When faced with truth her light is gone. "Sailing through the ether, No safe harbour in mind. Homeless but determined, We'll remember what we find. (Chorus) Drifting through the ether, No happiness inside. Hopeless and dejected, No matter what we find. (Chorus) Lost unto the ether, No life in heart nor mind. Nothing more to say here, For here's the only home you'll find. Edited January 24, 2020 by Gardenator 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)AceSymmeTrick Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Oh come all you Tenno I’ll sing you a tale. The void is our call while we rise up the sails. The rail jack she hums with a tune oh so sweet. With a group such as ours the enemy will always be beat. With cephalon Cy we shall let out a cry. For lotus, for Tenno we set for the sky. So enemies be wary and foes turn away. For lotus for Tenno we will win this day. So load up the arch wings and load up the guns. Our strength outnumbers the enemies one hundred to one. we do this for honor we do this for fun. Our rail jack adventures have only begun. So send all your cruise ships we’ve don’t this before. Two or six please send us some more. We’ll board and we’ll plunder and capture and Store. For Lotus for Tenno your ships are no more. Our Warframe date strong as we sing through this song. All you fine Tenno come sing along. With the void on our side we will ride through the night. Giving the enemy one heck of a fight. With Pride and our courage we’ll make things right. For Lotus for Tenno Rail Jack take flight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Int_Some_dude Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 (edited) Riding a railjack is a painful task getting shot from all sides, even though you didn’t ask, cephalon cy screaming “hull breach!” after you moved your ship by an inch. Arming slingshot is a bigger mistake: your entire squad is being put at stake. After a moment you got ejected cephalon cy screams “Ramsled detected!”. Sentient ship is apparently distant, cephalon cy screams “seal hull breaches this instant!”, your squad mates ignore this directive instead they jump into sentient ship as a collective. Deck is burning, squad is dying, you can already feel your sanity is flying, ”This can’t get any worse.” you process that’s where you’re wrong: host migration in progress.

(NSW)KR1440 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Well I know a spot past the ol' Jove City, Where the stars they shine so bright 'n pretty, So come right along and we'll fly away, And then we'll head right back for the Ol' Relay. We'll sing a Heave Ho and away we'll go, Tell us we can't and we'll say it ain't so, Through darkest night and brightest day, An'Then we'll make it right back to the Ol' Relay. Well I know a lass with an iron arm, To keep Anyo from a doin' harm, But I know she'll beat'em some lovely day, An'Then we'll hang his Cape in the Ol' Relay. Raise it high, look at it fly, A beacon of hope 'gainst the starry sky, And I do declare, without delay, We'll all a'sing and a'dance in the Ol' Relay. We'll sing a Heave Ho and away we'll go, Tell us we can't and we'll say it ain't so, Through darkest night and brightest day, An'Then we'll make it right back to the Ol' Relay.

BangKerpow Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 I saw Ganalen's Grave in Veil Proxima and made up some lore for background... This song was created near the end of the Old War and focuses on a Railjack named the Ganalen. It’s numerous successful battles became a symbol of the Orokin’s approaching victory and inspired one of her crew to craft the tune. The vessel’s last battle is remembered at Ganalen’s Grave in Veil Proxima. A battle won at the cost of the ship and her crew. The Ganalen The Ganalen is a ship my friends It’s equal never met Our home and a weapon To quell the Sentient threat Executor Ballas gives the order Into the Veil we fly Where the sun it never shines, my friends Nor the darkness dims the sky For it’s time to go to war Ready your parazon The Tenno ship the Ganalen Fights the Sentients till they’re gone We tear the sky asunder Void translation is complete Ahead of us lies our foe A massive sentient fleet The pilot guides our blade The engineer keeps us whole The gunners burn the sky And turn our rivals into coal For it’s time to go to war Ready your parazon The Tenno ship the Ganalen Fights the Sentients till they’re gone The battle was severe But we will not relent The tenno guard the Orokin Is the message that we've sent Our loyalty will not waver We will see victory And the sentients short lives Will be crap dipped in misery For it’s time to go to war Ready your parazon The Tenno ship the Ganalen Fights the Sentients till they’re gone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For destiny shall not stay! And so we sail away! For tis is our fate! And so we go the flow! On solar winds with grace! Then we hear what Lotus say, When we're in the veil we sail: "Oh Tenno what stops your ear? From the quest you must adhear!" And thus we rail away! Away through distant stars! And thus we go away! For destiny shall not stay! And so we sail away! For tis is our fate! And so we go the flow! On solar winds with grace! Then we go and have a gloat! In the hull where we 'mote: "Tho' we see the breaches, We see how tight and true we is!" And thus we rail away! Away through distant stars! And thus we go away! For destiny shall not stay! And so we sail away! For tis is our fate! And so we go the flow! On solar winds with grace! And so we return to dock! With many smiles on our face! "Let it be true, tight, and never break This clan shall never fail!" And thus we rail away! Away through distant stars! And thus we go away! For destiny shall not stay! And so we sail away!

Derelique69 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Note: Inspiration taken from "Drunken Sailor" with that melody, tempo & humor in mind but applying it to the frenzied pace of a railjack mission. What do we do on a railjack mission? What do we do on a railjack mission? Grab an omni & put out that fire! Seal the rupture & ground the wire! What do we do to boarding parties? What do we do to passing sorties? Take them out, tell the optimists we're not buying! Now go fix those circuits that are frying! What do we do with a tenno in the barrel? What do we do with a tenno in the barrel? Blow up their reactor, disable ship killer Change in leadership, it's a thriller Tennos on board, warp back to dry dock Tennos on board, warp back to dry dock That's what we do on a railjack mission!
