Recommended Posts

I became the night bird baptized in your flames built for you
So I can forge your dreamed wings and borrow you.

Βecause we 'll fly to the edge of the world with little pain to you
Painted fairies reminds us of the past even for a saint as you

Expensive gift from Gods with a sweet tone tear from you
The shadows overlapped martial in grace inside you

The travels of mine, my waves, my stars, fuel to you
So I can speak my prayers and a lonely whisper to you

My traveler of a fairytale written from the wet eyes of you
The seed burrowed mourns and loves, its still inside you

Even if the skies are broken, the void stays, and remembers admiring you... 
Carrying the world's most refugee sacred light inside you.

Follow the rising tide

Scour for parts to build our ship

For its soon off to battle

In the void we'll travel

Then go back home someday

 

 

So warfames together

We will battle forever

The railjack will guide the way

 

 

Now to find an objective

Ready archwing and omni

Off to stop our enemies

And loot the vicinity

 

 

 

Because we are warframes together

We will battle forever

The railjack is all we need

 

 

 

We must board their ship

And fight for our cause

Our mission is sabotage

Then head back to dry dock

 

 

 

And as warframes together

we will battle forever

Our railjack and a path to lead.

<Chorus>

Stations, Stations - Heed the Call!

Protect the 'Jack,

She'll Protect us all

On deck or wing the guns will sing

Origin's Enemies fall!

</Chorus>

 

We sail the stars

No rail below

and when the void calls

We all will go

But till then

While the engines spin

the Enemy down we'll mow!

 

<Chorus>

 

Our 'Jack's the best In Origin's skies

Her Cephalon's the Smartest

and her guns are all our pride

Her armor's thick, her shields are strong

She does the work - She just brings us along!

 

<Chorus>

No matter what comes we’ll stand tall
Even if Erra, Natah, Hunhow or All
The Jack will stand, The crew will Fight
Pennent held high – they will feel its bite!

<Chorus>

Sorry but I'll have to save this lyric on my computer, got very inspired reading it 🙂

Now I can't wait to get to the rail jack part of the game.

In constant background...

*Clem (4x)*

*Clem (4x)*

*Clem (4x)*

Chorus Start: 

The skies shall bask in the blood,

For death to us is a reviving bud,

What will we do when the odds are against us - Oh no,

Space Mom (Interrupts): You shall forever be my children "The Tenno"

Verse1

You leech,you lizard,you worm, we dare you to find us in space !

Every move you make we shall strike like we did Anyo's face.

And while your brother gets corrupted by the second; BOW !

Umbra laughs as he asks you, who is the maggot now ?

Verse2:

Our blood,our sweat,our tears we have shed countless,

To connect the dots of our origin,

We sail, we fly, through the multiverse of madness,

Discovering our different identities and kin.

Chorus second:

The skies shall bask in the blood,

For death to us is a reviving bud,

Men ! As we fly and spread our wings; take note all the life and lysts are dead;they have no name

Space Mom (Interrupts): Gaze upon our world children, our world of Warframe !

End xx

*Clem (4x)*

I dont know if this is bad but I wrote this with this tune in mind.  (also it posted twice? Don't know why)

(wait till 11 seconds then start)

Hey ho, thy Railjack rises!

 

Hey ho, the crew tis’ lively!

 

Hey ho, the captains at helm!

 

All souls stand attention!

 

Hey ho, the Railjack soars on!

 

Hey ho, the crew mills round ‘er!

 

Hey ho, the captains orders!

 

All souls stand attention!

(puase)

(wait till 41 seconds to start singing again)

Hey ho, the Railjack captain!

 

Hey ho, he told us lock on!

 

Hey ho, the Grineer close in!

 

Aye’ they’re cannon fodder!

 

Hey ho, thy Railjack rises!

 

Hey ho, the crew tis’ lively!

 

Hey ho, the captains at helm!

 

Shouts an’ cheers fly round!

(should end at about a minute)

When there was a time of sea pirates that took any ships by storm.

On the Islands, they hid their treasures, and long ago they went into legend.

Hey ho, into legends

 

And we are the warriors of space, the sharks of star trails.

The heavenly Nations tremble when they see us.

Hey ho, when they see us.

 

We believe that this is the star wars era. 

And all the other clans have been reduced to dust. 

We are the warriors of space going forward. And our railjack "hunter" will devour all our enemies!

Hey ho, will devour all our enemies!

"Mother's Gaze"

Heave away, lift away, rolling down to Earth!
In the busy town of Cetus, they'll be warming up the hearth!
Konzu gave his blessing, and now we don't delay,
We're all aboard the 'Jack to cut down the mighty prey!

So, heave-away!
The Lotus calls to me!
The one true metal angel, I devote my steel to thee!
We'll cross through many oceans, full of void and stars ablaze,
We're right past Mars, searching for our mother's gaze...

We set down on the plains, our blades all drawn alike,
Our guns are freshly loaded, the Grineer be set alight!
The Eidolons are shaking, time of night upon us soon,
We're all aboard the 'Jack, to go search the long-lost Moon!

So, heave-away!
The Lotus calls to me!
The one true metal angel, I devote my steel to thee!
We'll cross through many oceans, full of void and stars ablaze,
We're right past Venus, searching for our mother's gaze...

Our blades are slick with blood, our feet are plenty sore,
I can't recall the days that brought me peace and joy before!
Without the dear old Lotus, I fear that we're all done,
But we're all Tenno, and we're outmatched by none!

So, heave-away!
The Lotus calls to me!
The one true metal angel, I devote my steel to thee!
We'll cross through many oceans, full of void and stars ablaze,
We're right past Tau, and we've found our mother's gaze...!

 

Good luck lads! May yer 'Jacks sail true!

So breakdown of a sea shanty is a work song that could last an hour or ten minutes . No rhyme or reason just because .Sponge  Bob Square Pants is kinda a shanty.

Fire in the hole from the chase gunx3 

After a good battle 

We cleared the sector of Grineer x3 

After a good battle 

We're gonna take our loot ad run x3 

After a good battle 

Going to Cetus to drink some grog x3 

After a good battle 

Gonna upgrade the Rail Jack x3 

After a good battle 

Every 3rd word or syllable an action was preformed like pulling on rope or a mop stroke.

<chorus>

To go about the stary skies,

(Hey ho, through the cosmos we go)

To the wreckage of enemies we shall rise.

(Hey ho, nowhere we can't go)

Born from the Void, our enemies shall die,

(Hey ho, forwards we shall roam)

Till we bring peace, through space we shall fly.

(Hey ho, through dark will light show)

 

As we are today,

Our foes shall decay,

Till they cannot breathe, what could

They possibly say.

 

Across the vast skies,

Blood and bullets fly,

So we shall not falter (No!)

Till we win the day!

 

<Repeat chorus>

 

<Second chorus>

Though vast as space will be, will we fall to our enemies?

(NO! WE SHAN'T EVER FALTER!!)

Though tough and rough as things shall get, will we stop?

(NO! WE'LL NEVER SURRENDER!!)

Should the Void cloud our minds, will we stray from the path?

(NAY I SAY!)

THEN WE'LL BLAST RIGHT THROUGH THE ENEMY'S PATH!! NOW GO FORTH!

(WE SHALL MAKE THEM SURRENDER!!)

 

So grab your weapons,

Your pets and your guns,

Take up your gear and your lives!

For it's our time now!

 

So batten the hatches, gear up and ATTACK!

TAKE THE FIGHT TO THEM, IN THE AIR; ON THE GROUND!

Make our foes wish we never came back:

We are the Tenno, strong and proud!

 

<Repeat chorus>

 

<Repeat second chorus>

Oh we , oh we of the Tenno we be.

We fight and we grind and we bleed.

We were born  a Tenno, and we shall die Tenno.

We live in the name of DE.

This is our oath, it is our destiny, since the March of 2013.

The critics were shrewd, and the comments were rude. But the TRUE Tenno, they stood by thier crew.

Thier followers were few, but the content , it grew, and now we have all you see before you.

From it origins in Dark Sector to the Orb Valis tasx collectors. We have slain their bosses through and through.

From the Jackal to Vay Hek to Mutalist Alad V,

From Lephantis to Vor The Ambulas and Tyl Regor,

We have killed them a million times or more.

We shall take up our Twin  Grakatas and our Arca Plasmor, and we will kill them one million more! So, 

Come join me the Tenno are we, and a Tenno we always shall be.._

Tenno Now We Soar

Strike to ignite
Sail across the night
Let the engines roar 
Tenno, now we soar 

Blade in the dark
Slingshot in an arc
Planet-bound no more
Tenno, now we soar 

Break out the guns
Listen to the drums 
Honor to the core
Tenno, now we soar

Archwings on high
Defend the dark sky
Judgement out we pour 
Tenno, now we soar

Tenno listen well
Hear the growing swell
Prepare for the War
Tenno, now we soar!

TIme to test my bard abilities.

 

"We will now gather for a journey.
Like the Earths sailors of old.
we uncovered a ship so worthy
The crews have grown bold.

A vessel from the orokin ages
we have witnessed once more.
Our destiny has written more pages,
a creation so grand, a wonder to restore.

A whisper, a tremor. a foe from the past.
To battle we go, with our nerves made of steel (EMPYREAN!)
victorious we are, the challenge we passed.
Together we stood, and charged them with zeal. ( EMPYREAN!)

at a journeys end, to our halls we assemble,
with stories of glory and of treasure.
A symbol of hope the Tenno resemble.
New worlds to discover, our thrill we cant measure.

A calling, a quake. a foe from the past.
To battle we go, with our nerves made of steel (EMPYREAN!)
victorious we are, the challenge we passed.
Together we stood, and charged them with zeal. ( EMPYREAN!)

A new journey begins, to the horizon we go.
A hope for us all, a new star will warm us.
But the sentients have awoken, an ancient foe
Our courage sinks low, is our fate thus?

A shout! The void trembles! a foe from the past!
The Tenno is here, our hopes and shining light. (EMPYREAN)
Victorious we rose, the nightmare we would outlast.
Together we stand, in this everlasting flight.

Victorious we rose, the nightmare we would outlast.
Together we stand, in this everlasting flight."

What shall we do with the drunker engi
What shall we do with the drunker engi
What shall we do with the drunker engi when we need energy?

Hey ho and were out of ammo
Hey ho and were out of ammo
Hey ho and were out of ammo while the pilot's complaining

What shall we do with the drunker engi
What shall we do with the drunker engi
What shall we do with the engi when we need energy?

Throw him into the vacuum of space
Throw him into the vacuum of space
Throw him into the vacuum of space while the pilot's crafting

When you go out and step into space,
Beware of someone taking our place.
It can be a specter or even a lich,
Stay in and command, be like Edward Teach!

Or maybe you've never feared a death,
And entering slingshot is taking your breath.
Armed with the sharpened cutlass of space,
Or with a musket if it's more of your taste,
You shred crewship armor and head to the core,
Leaving your enemies lay on the floor!

Whoever we'll be as a crew member,
There are simple things that we should remember:
It's not for all the plat in the world,
It's for the memories when we grow old!

Or maybe your childhood was filled with the sound,
That makes people terrified and bend to the ground.
Go man the turrets and master deflection,
Be as a gunner - the foreman of action!

Or maybe a handyman is that what you want,
Getting a tool and making job done,
Not asking trespassers where do they go,
Just kicking them out and closing the door!

Or maybe you fly all the time in your dreams,
Then the pilot's seat is for you as it seems.
Holding the steering wheel graceful and tight,
Doing a barrel roll at the speed of light!

Whoever we'll be as a crew member,
There are simple things that we should remember:
It's not for all the plat in the world,
It's for the memories when we grow old!

Hit the deck,  Vay Hek, we're comin' for ya!
Hit the deck,  Vay Hek, we're comin' for ya!

Hit the deck,  Vay Hek, 
these aren't optimists inbound,
it's the Tenno come round!
Crack our hull,  we'll crack your skull, 
hit the deck, Vay Hek, we're comin' for ya!

Hit the deck,  Vay Hek, 
at your beck and at your call,
Aye, you've a mighty Grineer fleet,  
but we Tenno can't be beat! 
Our fire burns bright as a Fomorian core, 
and so does our artillery, ya steel eyesore!

It's the Tenno come round,
hear the sound,
of our engines ROAR! 

It's the Tenno,  they're here,
feel the fear,
Grineer blood we POUR! 

See ol' Jolly Roger placed high upon our Jack,
Hit the deck,  Vay Hek,  the Tenno are at your back!
From destroyers to ramsleds, it all amounts to naught,
Hit the deck,  Vay Hek- nothing can stop us; you're caught! 

There's nowhere to go,
Terra Frame or no, 
we'll kick your tin behind!

Summon who you will
with your propaganda mill,
And we'll tear them apart in kind!

Hit the deck,  Vay Hek,  we're comin' for ya!
Hit the deck,  Vay Hek,  we're comin' for ya!

Through space and land we fly.   Across this vast divide.   Seeking treasure's we wish to find.   Jupiter, Mars, Saturn, and Earth.   All in which we fly.  On our railjack in which we stay.  We fly to land and space.   Sentients, Grineer, and the Corpus.   All in which we fight.  In the end all is swell.   With the treasure's we have found.  On our railjack in which we lay.  Then which we divide between our crew we love.                 Im 15 this is the best I could do.

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!

The contest is on now and ends Thursday, January 30 at 1:00 PM ET.

ALL PLAYERS FROM EACH PLATFORM CAN PARTICIPATE!

In space we wonder, 

the railjack is our slumber,

the grineer look out, 

but they dont watch out,

 

the tenno travels through

the void in look of some traces,

then there will be some relics,

in which we try to get some pieces,

 

right there and then we fight once 

again, where in the railjack we find 

peace, but there again the grineer  

fight  again.

 

Hope i did good enough, first time doing this.

it's terrible and a parody of an existing song

Spoiler

 

We've fought on land before, we fought in the uranian sea,
We're venturing to new ground to where the ground can not be seen,

We've built a ship that will never touch sea, never get wet, never swim too deep,
We've built a ship that can go anyplace, a ship that flies in space!
Bet you thought your base was safe but we are real ace!
leave that asteroid right away - we're ninjas out in space!

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No! It's a flying space ship.
It sails upon the solar winds, goes wherever it sees fit.

We've built a ship that will never touch sea, never get wet, never swim too deep,
We've built a ship that can go anyplace, a ship that flies in space!
Bet you thought Grineer were safe but we can really fly!
We're cooking Lancer for tea today and I'll tell you god damn why...


Ya-da-dadada-dah-da-da - we are really high,
Ya-da-dadada-dah-da-da - we're pirates of the skies!
Man no flights, ground your planes - ‘cause now we can fly,
Your spacecraft is no longer safe and now I'll tell you why...
Ya-da-dadada-dah-da-da - we are really high,
Ya-da-dadada-dah-da-da - we're pirates of the skies!
Ya-da-dadada-dah-da-da - we loot until we die
Ya-da-dadada-dah-da-da - we're pirates of the skies!

Lotus and Operator

Sung to the tune of 'My Bonnie'

The Lotus has sent us a mission.

The Lotus has sent us a gift.

The Lotus has sent us a mission.

Oh, onward full speed through the Rift.

 

Onward, onward, onward full speed through the Rift, the Rift.

Onward, onward, onward full speed through the Rift.

 

The Operator is fighting.

The Operator has fought.

The Operator is fighting.

Oh, look at all that they have bought

 

Look at, look at, look at all that they have bought, have bought.

Look at, look at, look at all that they have bought.

The Tenno have come 
Intro:
They rose from the ashes, 
Remnants of time, 
the Tenno stand once more
In their shimmering prime. 

(Be still your soul 
For the Tenno have come.) x2

All who seek glory, 
Gather around
For tales of grandeur 
among the stars will be found. 

(Be still your soul 
For the Tenno have come.) x2

Chorus :
These voids in our hearts, 
Will be filled with flames
As our enemies cower, 
At the sight of warframes. 

Be still your soul 
For the Tenno have come.
Darkness heed our warning 
The Grineer shall run.

Be still your soul 
For the Tenno have come. 

Outro :
(Amidst the silence of space
You’ll hear the thunder 
Of the railjacks embrace.) x2
