Mujaki Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 We're not the only ones out there flying. Spare a thought for the Rail Jockeys, hauling their tractors across the system. "The Tractor is Ready to Punch" Quote A Rail Jockey's life is not one of leisure! Half boredom, half strife haulin' another man's treasure! (refrain) For the taxman will always be adding his sums but the captain has got a good hunch! Find a hold full of cargo to make engines hum and the tractor is ready to punch! And the Tractor is Ready to PUNCH! Oh, living ain't cheap when you're dying from debt. But we're flyin' this heap so come place your bet! (refrain) Set sail for old Mercury and fill up the hold! From debts we'll be free with this Orokin gold! (refrain) “Halt!” ordered Control, “Are you with Red Veil? That cargo, you stole!” As we dove for the Rail! (refrain) The captain's reply was awfully darin'. “A free crew we fly! Or maybe Sequence of Perrin?” (refrain) Their shots all rang out as we started our dive And the cap'n did shout, “We're all to survive!” (refrain) To Venus we flew where the nights are oft cold. A desperate crew but a hold full of gold! (refrain) The ship, she did crash. And we've started repairs. Had to sell off the stash. Life just isn't fair! (refrain) So sing a few bars 'Til we're sailin' once more. Set course for Red Mars! Cap'n found us a score! (refrain) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostSerpent Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Returning Home Sail, sail, to the Void Our Mother awaits us! Sail, sail, to the Void Let her children embrace her! No one, else wants us more, She will be our fall, Our will to be brought to the fore, As through the Void we haul. So, Sail, sail, to the Void, Where Our Mother awaits us! Sail, sail, to the Void, Safe in her presence! Let the Corpus fire their cannons, Let the Grinneer try, But we, the Tenno, Will turn a blind eye, As we fly, Through the night sky. So, Sail, sail, to the Void, Where Our Mother awaits us! Sail, sail, into the Void, Where her arms will embrace us! For fear not we are willing, Leaving to the place we roamed. Back to where we were holding on, We are returning home. So, Sail, sail to the Void. Our Mother awaits us! Sail, sail into the Void. For she is our Lotus!

Predcjednik Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Let's rise stakes, On the dark ocean, Filled with light, Made of stars in motion The light will not fade, For as long as we fight, Against the shade, The unfair might! Set the evil ablaze, Make it perish, Bathe in our guns' gaze! The right has won and always will, Their best, Against our sneer. B.O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Themeric Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 (edited) With Railjacks ready. And more to explore. What will we face. Where we couldn't before? We look for treasure. Where ever we go. The journey itself. Got plenty to show... The pesky grineer. With all of their might. They rush out their ships. And bring us a fight! A lasting battle. That goes beyond time. So steel your mind. And stay in your prime!.. Succeed we must. We do and we shall! 'Cause failing as tenno. Would leave us all damned. Together we conquere! Together we shall! Prevail each challenge. The Railjacks unveil... Edited January 26, 2020 by Themeric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P4rdus Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 The dark of space, we heed its call. In the vacuum we may brawl. Grineer may rise. Grineer may fall. But in the end death finds them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(XBOX)Cephalon Bacon Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Title: Start Your Engines Today is the day that we take flight To fight against those and set things right We will not stand in fear or fright For their bark is worse than their bite Within these walls, intruders fall A wake up call for all we face! To those in need, we jump lightspeed Because indeed we run this place! She is watching us from afar They way things change, it’s so bizarre We try to grasp what is thus far But this is what you are Within these walls, intruders fall A wake up call for all we face! To those in need, we jump lightspeed Because indeed we run this place! When we meet, what will you say? My love for you, it does not sway...

004900 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Rise up! My brothers and sisters of Tenno, rise up and answer the call! The war of new calls us, so hop on the tyrant, rise up and answer the call! The sentients will blast us and curse us at will, with Natah, and Erra, and Hunhow at will, but we will not let them cause demise for us all, so rise up and answer the call! To the Void, we must go, and to war, we must fight, even if we shall fall. But we will prevail, so this I shall say! <chorus> Rise up, and Answer the call!

TitanTyrant Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 (edited) O Lotus <Chorus> O Lotus, sweet Lotus, oh, where are you? why have you vanished from view? The Corpus is shattered, The Grineer are broken, and the Tenno are going to war. O Lotus, dear Lotus, oh, where have you been? why have you left us, and curse us, too? For Natah is your name, and now you wage war, against us! Your children, the Tenno. <Chorus> O Natah, dear Natah, oh, why are you gone? why have you escaped our view? you may be known as Natah, but we will still see you, O Lotus, oh, where are you?

ThoseAboutToRock Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 This was my favorite fan contest to date. I've really enjoyed spending the last couple days composing this. I had initially wanted to avoid much of a focus on combat; however, that's kinda what railjacks do. It was hard to imagine a crew on a railjack singing about something other than combat, money, beer, loot. Basically, I tried to figure out how to put a positive spin on being pirates. After all, we are the good guys....right? At the very least, we're not Grineer. I'm looking forward to a 2nd version of this contest once Warframe introduces haulers! The meter was inspired by David Coffin's "Roll the Old Chariot" -- although it's not a perfect match. Empyrean Night We'll command the skies along with Ceph'lon Cy, We'll command the skies along with Ceph'lon Cy, We will lead the charge, first into the fight, And we'll rule Empyrean night! And we all attack, starboard and portside! And we all attack, starboard and portside! Our trusty railjack, her cannons we must guide, And we'll rule Empyrean night! We'll destroy them all, death to the Grineer, We'll destroy them all, death to the Grineer, And we'll loot their haul, their credits and their beer, And we'll rule Empyrean night! We'll command the skies along with Ceph'lon Cy, We'll command the skies along with Ceph'lon Cy, We will lead the charge, first into the fight, And we'll rule Empyrean night! We will all fly the might of Orokin, We will all fly the might of Orokin, And we will all pay in blood for their sin, And we'll rule Empyrean night! We will all rise, together with our friends, We will all rise, together with our friends, Alas! We're all kings, our dominion: the heavens, And we'll rule Empyrean night! We'll command the skies along with Ceph'lon Cy, We'll command the skies along with Ceph'lon Cy, We will lead the charge, first into the fight, And we'll rule Empyrean night!

Forkius Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Lyrics notes: Spoiler For this I drew inspiration from a few places in particular: the Fortuna theme song (and in particular I think its strength stems from its reliance on universal themes rather than lore name drops) and the word Empyrean itself (from Merriam-Webster: "the highest heaven or heavenly sphere in ancient and medieval cosmology usually consisting of fire or light"), which speaks to both space battles and paradise in flames (and why not both?). I'm currently rocking a debilitating case of bronchitis but if it clears up I will try to record something or other. Also I can't sing and I've never written a song before, so, you know. Cheers. While Heaven Burns Weigh anchor, lads- and all aboard: We orphans of the gilded horde; We demons born of bone and sword; For heaven burns; heave ho! To stations, lads- let colors fly; Prepare yourselves, for battle's nigh. We'll write their ruin 'cross the sky; For heaven burns; heave ho! Cry havoc, lads- here's peace unmade; Take hilt and holster, barrel, blade. The void's aflame: no rest nor shade; For heaven burns; heave ho! Now rally, lads- we've not yet won; I'll take the helm; you man the gun: Reduce our foe to newborn sun; For heaven burns; heave ho! So rise up, lads, on alloyed wing: Through trackless sky, ride triumph’s sling; Through ink and black, to melee fling; Through combat's clash, let vic’try ring; You silver arc! You steel-glint sting! Now cut them down, lads! Win! And sing: Heave ho! Heave ho! While heaven burns: heave ho! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)Munch_Scarier Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 We heed her call, we heed her call The sea of stars awaits Treasures abound for us to take Lie far beyond the space We heave and haul, we heave and haul The riches in her wake Left within her perils and troubles Bounties we gladly take We heave and ho, we heave and ho The fools who dare be foes Their ships asunder by mighty blows Bodies of merchants and clones We heed her call, we heed her call Our 'jacks are set to cast Towards the maiden of the void To the dark and infinite vast 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)IronOutlaw568 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 The inspiration for this one was from a quote from Nora, which mentioned the existence of "rail pirates". So, I decided to make a shanty, not from the perspective of a Tenno, but of the perspective of a rail pirate. Rail Pirates We be the ones among the wrecks, The ones who're left to rot We be the ones of ash and dust Heroic we are not We hunt and kill and fight and scream We pillage and we steal We know no home, no family, Not even a warm meal We sure ain't no rich taxmen and We ain't of royal blood We be the dregs, the rats the snakes, Crawling through the mud Our knives and blades are sharpened, And we're ready for a fight Our guns and cannons, loaded, Ready to pierce through the night We carve through every Corpus fleet We slaughter the Grineer We hunt the filthy Void Demons All shall live in fear Our guns are fully loaded And our bomb's fuses are lit We be deserters, outlaws, killers We be the rail pirates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)Sunangel97 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 (edited) we survived in the void, Tenno we were called We became warriors, Under the golden lords. But this belongs to the past A threat is lurking, We lost our lotus But this hasn't stopped us. With railjack we are ready to go Nobody can stop us, We feel the void that calls us Because the void is gathering us. From the old war it resurfaced We rebuilt it We as new captains Side by side with cephalon cy We leave without fear In search of her we have lost To discover the hidden truth Of our lost past. With railjack we are ready to go Nobody can stop us, We feel the void that calls us Because the void is gathering us. The hour has come and is approaching A new war is coming, We are ready to face the truth Even if this new reality is tough With the guidance of the void we go, Because we all know That void is calling us The void is gathering us.

-Instynct- Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 The Stars and Rocks are all around us They burn, they glide, into the void They lead our way to victory The highest heaven awaits us! We kill the flames, we kill the rusts Even if we fall, we cannot get spoiled Nothing can stop us, on this journey The highest heaven awaits us! The foes are everywhere, always be cautious Catch the stalkers, and hold at gunpoint Fire at them, kill the army Because the highest heaven awaits us! Even if we fall into the abyss We will strive to the light We will put an end to the dark Vivat imperium! The land we live The homes we built And the army we made Will stand still in the cosmos!

(XBOX)Eli and Niti Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 I would post me and my wife singing it, but I don't think that would help our chances... Maybe we will stream it during our next live stream... we could do with shedding a few followers :P Children Of The Void - A Railjack Shanty Tenno Sing: Through the voids waves, We crash and we tumble, Our victorious Jack saves, And will power not crumble, Cause we're all Children of the void. Ostrons Sing: Through voids we roam, With Jack under feet, Cetus our home, We'll never know defeat, Cause we're all Children of the void. Solaris Sing: Our debts left behind, Across voids we fly, Through enemies we grind, With the things that we scry, Cause we're all Children of the void. All together: Through the voids waves, Our Jack forges onward, With the lives that we'll save, Our paths all wind onward, No loss will we know, No loved ones we’ll part, Our strengths only grows, Forever young at heart, With the fires all tend, These Voids we will bend, And to hell enemies we’ll Send, Till these worlds we'll mend, Cause we're all Children of the void, Cause we're all Children of the void, Cause We Are ALL Children Of The Void.

Juin_Roet Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 (edited) Spoiler Traditionally I believe a sea shanty is a more repetitive song sung while laboring to synchronize activity, for the likes of heaving and hoeing. The activities in Empyrean aren't so immediately repetitive, but a synchronization of diverse activities is necessary. I guess this is more of a traditional song, but in the spirit of collectively pursuing a goal aided by a song, anyway here I go: Title: While on a Railjack push the "L" button to open the tactical menu, which among other features shows you a map of the ship; also if you don't have a ship your intrinsics are hidden in the "Profile" menu which can be found while on your Orbiter by pressing the “ESC” key, also the title doesn't count against my word limit right? Le "Shanty": All aboard, towards the skies Tenno strength versus rising tides Man the guns, steer the ship With omni-tools at the hip Faults or fires? Time that ring! Hull ruptures? Aim for the cracks and seal that thing! Boarding parties, says Mr. Cy? Look out Grineer it's time to die! Ship is patched, all airtight Get to the back and craft revolite! Everyone else eyes ahead Look out Grineer, you'll soon be dead Grineer Crewships on the way, Launch an archwing without delay! Board their ship, from the back And give their reactor a heart attack! A score of fighters, another wave Their size is small but the risk is grave Aim your guns just a bit ahead That’s how you’ll hit them (if the target is red) A Grineer base, among the mess Send over two to begin the aggress Hack the system, reveal the prize Make their base a memory of the skies The enemies withdrawn, archwings deploy It’s time for loot oh joy! If it glows just give it a shoot Then fly through it to collect the loot Once that’s done back to the Interceptor Back to the dry dock you Railjack Specter 😉 Edited January 26, 2020 by Juin_Roet Edit to remove edit so the new edit it a better edit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
