NEOzahara Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Like all good tales, this one is quite old The tale of the children and the puppets they hold The Void lurks, and sings in their heads Calling them to the unknown, a danger Lotus said But through guts and spirit, the ships they unhooked To space they jumped, and to the window they looked In fear they trembled, as the blackness of space clears The enemy up ahead was no Corpus or Grineer It was ancient, its was dark, and it was alive Even tho it looked empty, it was inviting them inside All the Tenno were strong, and all the tenno were brave But getting in and out of that beast, would be harder then Conclave The leader of the squad, Ember was his warframe "Fear not!", he said, "As ill burn it to the ground with my Flame!" Encouraged by his confidence, the Tenno stood tall But soon after they entered, unknown shapes started to crawl The Tenno were never to be seen, and their ship, in space, is lost So to whoever tries to explore the unexplored, remember Some things come at a great cost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering we are supposed to rewrite an existing shanty, how can it be not plagiarized? lol guess you didnt see my post maybe look into the shantie you are rewording and see if it is copy righted. you simply looked up shantie on youtube and found the first result. most shanties are not copy righted as they are considered folk music i.e. a song of unknown author or origin. guess that is why none of these posts are original works and do not follow the rules of the so called "contest" hints why this is stupid AF just like the railjack system. trying to remake the jackdaw in warframe is like trying to re-wright free bird.

Azhrein Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Its not Tenno related but this is my favorite sea shanty. A ship sailed into Harbor After 15 months at sea And the captain hit the tavern With his crew of 53 After drinking up their plate They staggered through the town But all the Inns and Public Houses Turned the sailors down But the captain said "fear not me lads, You all can come with me!" "I live just round the corner, And you all can stay for free!" But when the captain's wife awoke Upon the break of day They say you could hear her wailing Clear to Botany Bay She yelled "There's Sea Men all around the bed! There's Sea Men on the floor! There's Sea Men in the bathroom and behind the closet door. There's Sea Men in the fireplace and Sea Men in the hall. The living room is carpeted with Sea Men wall to wall. That's a lot of Pirates.

The Shanty singer may or may also not be drunk and boasting, standing on a rickety table in a tavern of ne'er-do-wells. """Two guns by her side, one Tenno up top- one sets the phasers and another yet locks! But the guns aren’t what make us a crew! It only be what us Tenno do! Our gunner takes flight on our old slingshot- cutting through hulls like a saber too hot. While engine destruction is helpful- it’s true. It only be what us Tenno do! The Pilot strafes left to avoid the laser Oh no you’ll need more than THAT to phase’er. Guiding our ship like a skittish Mergoo- it only be what us Tenno do! The Engineer takes our treasure’s we’re hoarding, and puts an end to all parties boarding. And while we all thank ‘em for their duty too- It only be what us Tenno do! Tactician aboard is like a third eye. N'er a worry left when they’re on stand by. And while their teleportin’ from one place- no TWO. It only be what us Tenno do! And when it’s all done- no more to obtain, We’ve stolen their lives and taken their gain! We return to the Dojo for a moment to rest, and place our loot into the appropriate chest. Then when we’re rested and with nothing to do We rush ahead to start up round two!""" Nicely done. This might be a winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InquisitorFenix Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 I like hearing to Sea Shanties, they are quite fun to hear and sing, and they are made so you can change the verses yourself if you want. When I read about the contest I just couldn't resist but make something original using some guidelines I made for myself based on different songs. For now I haven't settled on a certain tune nor rythm to sing it to, also I haven't thought of a name for it. “OH! the stars and guns be shining bright Grineers! look out, grineers! come close to the stars we go and stars we make ‘em man the guns and throw yourself at ‘em TO THE GUNS! TO THE TOOLS! SHOOT AWAY! REPAIR THE DECK! RAILJACK WAS THE SHIP! AND BRAVE WAS THE CREW! OH! the fray is on and the guns are ablaze the hull in tatters and the guns burning hot yet the crew fights on and the ship won’t fall never broke, never lost, forever standing tall TO THE GUNS! TO THE TOOLS! SHOOT AWAY! REPAIR THE DECK! RAILJACK WAS THE SHIP! AND BRAVE WAS THE CREW! OH! the voyage is long and the stars aplenty to the stars or the void, our voyage goes on galleons in the way and fighters all ‘round yet we keep on sailing to the stars beyond TO THE GUNS! TO THE TOOLS! SHOOT AWAY! REPAIR THE DECK! RAILJACK WAS THE SHIP! AND BRAVE WAS THE CREW! FOR ONE AND ALL WE NEVER STOP!

mrvigge Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 (edited) we go for open space, with the railjack we have our Place. with our guns and blades we launch for space. with the enemy in sight we are ready for a fight to bring a light. for those in need we will grow the seed. for a new war in sight we will try to give a light. we may die, but we have our pride. to the void with the enemy in sight, we will have honor in our fight. well i think this is pretty original. dont have a melody or beat but think it still a pretty good piece of work 🙂 never writed any song text or poetry before so hope youl like it.

MD04 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Spin the drive and break the dock, it's time again to sail Jump out of the starchart and the tired solar rail We'll find what lies behind the wall and peer beyond the veil Let's go out past the limit, then come back to tell the tale [Chorus:] Sail on for the fallen ones, and sail on for the code Sail on for our mother that we lost so long ago Sail into the fray 'cause it's the only life we know Sail on to the duty of the Zariman Tenno Cast away into our fate upon the starry sea The dream we knew is over, forge a new dream here with me Ride into the unknown and to what we want to be Side by side and gun in hand, we face our destiny [Chorus] Somewhere in the black there is a debt that must be paid We will never rest 'til every evil is unmade By the power of the void, and by warframe, gun, and blade And you can ask the Orokin if you think that we're afraid [Chorus] We heed the call of any, for a savior they beseech Somebody needs a lesson only violence can teach There's no planet we won't scour, there's no star beyond our reach Not for glory, but our honor, sail again into the breach [Chorus x2] __________________________________________________ There was a certain tone I wanted to capture, and it came out like a solidarity or marching song. I had to cut a verse, and probably would have written a few more, but for the word limit. I might put out an extended cut after the contest ends. I might also record it later, but I know I'm not getting to that within the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
