The Space Shanty Contest [Winners Announced]!

Saintmythi · 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.

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!

Yo ho,

Let’s go!

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!

Railjack Shanty Contest Submission!

Title: Naive Young Tenno
(It is also an incantation to summon forth someone 😉to possess your ship. Beware!)

Naive, young tenno.

Beware, of the void.

Before, it reaches.

Steer away your ship.

It watches from afar.

It hides beneath these walls.

It echoes to your ears.

Hey, there kiddo.

Beware young tenno.

Beware, beware.

Beware young tenno.

Beware, beware.

It cares, not what you are.

It knows, where we are.

Before, it finds us.

Steer away, your ship

Beware young tenno.

Beware, beware.

Beware young tenno.

Beware, beware.

It won’t stop at nothing.

But the war rages on.

After, the sentients.

It is the man in the wall’s turn

Naive, young tenno.

Beware, of the void.

Before, it reaches.

Steer away your ship.

It watches from afar.

It hides beneath these walls.

It echoes to your ears.

Hey, there kiddo.

Beware young tenno.

Beware, beware.

Beware young tenno.

Beware, beware.

Beware, young tenno.

Naïve, young tenno.

Hey, there kiddo.

Let me in, your ship.

Darvo's Package quest

By Me

//Hope you like this DE! :)//

Now we go to our Raiiljack
Searching for some pick me up
'Cause you see we took the rail
All across the veil!

Four very wobbly 'frame
Three points we have see
Two 'wings and something else!
Darvo's package quest!

Now we search across the veil
Looking for where darvo failed
Now we see that there's no glee
To the package we just found!

Four boxes of drunken rum
Three non-to-filled credit chips
Two mods and something else!
That Clem is on a stick!

Now we cross earth proxima
Nodding on the deck below
Then we see that made us glee
Darvo's discount fee!

Four of it drifting away
Three platinum on its way
Two slots and something else!
Its Darvo's shirt we see!

Now does we end our search
Looking out for Darvo's shirt
Now we see that there is glee
The package we just found!
The package we have found!
The package for Darvo found!

Ay!

Now we are ready

To sail for the stars

Weigh hey, roll and go!

We're onboard the 'jack

And we're headed for Mars

To be gazing out upon the Plough!

Heave your omni, o seal away!

Weigh hey, roll and go!

Cephalon Cy's been coded

And the gun's are loaded!

To be gazing out upon the Plough!

Soon we'll be warping her out

Through the rocks,

Weigh hey, roll and go!

Where the ugly Grineer

All sail out with their Pox

To be gazing out upon the Plough!

Heave your omni, o seal away!

Weigh hey, roll and go!

Cephalon Cy's been coded

And the gun's are loaded!

To be gazing out upon the Plough!

Come man the guns,

Tenno, tear them apart!

Weigh hey, roll and go!

We'll make their captain

into a work of art!

To be gazing out upon the Plough!

Heave your omni, o seal away!

Weigh hey, roll and go!

Cephalon Cy's been coded

And the gun's are loaded!

To be rollicking Randy Dandy-O

Leave Her Tenno

I thought I heard Commander say:

"Leave her, Tenno, leave her."

The Galleons soon shall come our way,
