Titled: New History

 

Cast far from mother, the darkness doth near

A void in the heart and the sky

With nothing left to turn to, we're paragons here

Without brothers and sisters we’d die

 

So arm the cannon! Man the guns! We become our own burning sun! 

Indebted, my friends, to an old giant’s touch, we might someday say that we’ve won.

 

We walk the structures of time long forgot

Made by the old gods, the vain

Exploring great hallways better left to rot

Our bloodshed did thunder like rain

 

So arm the cannon! Man the guns! We become our own burning sun! 

Indebted, my friends, to an old giant’s touch, we might someday say that we’ve won.

 

A timeless destroyer, announced by the stars

A leader once lost in the weave

An ancient opponent tears open old scars

This time we won’t be deceived

 

So arm the cannon! Man the guns! We become our own burning sun! 

Indebted, my friends, to an old giant’s touch, we might someday say that we’ve won.

 

We might someday say that we’ve won.

<Verse 1>

Through the stars we ride, 

upon Orokin wings we glide!

Our Grineer foes we flay, 

forever they will rue this day!

When it is your hull that breaks, 

you will know of your mistakes!

After everything we’ve been through,

Do you really think we are afraid of you?!

 

<Chorus in Cephalon Cy’s voice>

Soldiers of the past always remembered, 

transference is forever severed,

The might of the Tenno never forgotten,

What of you fleshbags? Broken, Rotten!

Cryophons aimed, locked and loaded

 Your reaction? Taken. Noted.

 

<Verse 2>

Into the Veil we mount and go, 

for answers to questions we have to know!

Anomalies detected of Sentient origin,

ancient foes, once forgotten!

Secrets revealed quite a shocker,

time to send you to Davy Jones locker!

Now as the Old War becomes new, 

Natah, Lotus, Mother, we are coming for you!

 

<Chorus 2 In Operator’s voice>

Ancient truths now revealed,

But why for so long be our shield?

Why spare us the rod that Erra deemed fit,

please dear Lotus, do not quit!

Join us again like once before,

Please put an end to this New War!

We chant in the name of tenno

A steady pace of tempo

In harmony, just sing with me

A tale from long ago, 

Warriors thought to have died

Extinct and mummified

Awoken once more, armed to the core

In service they provide

 

'O We sing for the tenno! 

Wherever they may be! 

We bow to them, we honor them! 

'O this be their chantey

 

From planet to planet, 

Their ships fly side by side! 

Above us all, their statues stand tall

All enemies flee and hide

Infected covered in flames

Corpus electrified! 

With Guns and swords, these orokin lords

Pulse energy far 'n wide

 

'O We sing for the tenno! 

Wherever they may be! 

We bow to them, we honor them! 

'O this be their chantey

 

You'll never see them coming! 

Invisible, silent and cunning

You better run, cause here they come

With grakatas runnin and gunnin!

Their warframes built so strong

Wall runnin all day long

They bullet jump, they glide and stomp

They does this all day long

 

'O We sing for the tenno! 

Wherever they may be! 

We bow to them, we honor them! 

'O this be their chantey

We said we sing for the tenno! 

Wherever they may be! 

We bow to them, we honor them! 

'O this be their chantey

Hey, Kiddo! What's that sound?
Rap Tap Tap It's all around
In the walls, we cast him out
Hey, Kiddo! Come about!

Hey, Kiddo! Man the guns!
Rap Tap Tap Nowhere to run!
Hear him suffer while we dream
Hey, Kiddo! Blood like a stream!

Hey, Kiddo! Engines full!
Rap Tap Tap down in the hull
Blinded, we are in his wake
Hey, Kiddo! It's too late

Hey, Kiddo! Forges go!
Rap Tap Tap Heave to Heave Fro
Alas as we rejected him
Hey, Kiddo! Deep within

Hey, Kiddo! Shields at half
Rap Tap Tap We hear the laugh
Oh, he saved us, one and all
Hey, Kiddo! Hear him call

Hey, Kiddo! Victory!
Rap Tap Tap in the void sea
Drowning in our apathy
Hey, Kiddo! None for me
Hey, Kiddo! None for me
Hey, Kiddo! None for me
Hey, Kiddo! Nothing without me!

(One crewman)

Legends, oh they tell,

Of a ship, on the stars....

(All)

And whispers, they tell,

Of a war, beyond Mars....

(One)

Sailors beware,

For on an ill fated flight.....

(All)

Those monsters of steel,

Wont to stir and alight,

Beware oh dear sailor,

The wyrms of the deep,

Be ready young sailor,

With a gun you should sleep,

Those vile old steel beasts,

Made of metal to reap,

Drag your soul to the Void,

And have it to keep....

Note: I’m Brazilian, so sorry if I write something wrong

“<Intro>

*Radio Voice: Alright Tenno, engines are ready, it’s time...

<First Part>
 

Flying between stars,

Out in space, 

Passing by Earth and Mars,

A Battle awaits,

 

We may not be perfect,

We may make mistakes, 

And that we should expect,

But we’ll do whatever it takes,

 

We, are...

<Chorus>

TENNO

We will fight, 

We might even fail, 

But we ain’t giving up,

Until we prevail,


<Part Two>

We will stay together,

Until the end, 

We will fight forever,

If that time we must spend,

 

In our Railjacks,

Our enemies will collapse,

And even if though they are in a larger amount,

They won’t take us all down,

 

Because we, are...

 

<Chorus>
 

TENNO

We will fight,

But we won’t fail, 

Everything will be alright,

We WILL prevail....”


 

Hope someone sees this and like, if any changes have to be done I won’t mind, just make the best of it and hope this isn’t cringe or anything. Bye bye and have a nice day 👋🏻

Way down to the void we’ll go

With a fist full of rounds and a sword to show

We won’t even see the sentients glow

We’ll be too far in the void to know

 

(Chorus)

From mercury to Sedna they’ll see our flair

Grineer and corpus you beware

Forward into the madness we will roam

On a ship that we call home

 

Our people all around 

Cetus and fortuna proud

Only the voids path will know 

Of where the Tenno will go

 

We are the frames of war

Veterans of the old war

Wherever the credits may flow

Tenno will know

 

<chorus>

 

At the end of the journey we are one

Family together with a big ole gun

No matter what challenges us we will counter 

Tenno together that’s what will matter

The call

 

The Grineer cry out for blood

We will answer their call

Their lifeless flesh will litter the stars

The lotus protects us all

 

Omnis loaded, cannons armed

Archwings on, standing tall

A shining light in the black of space

The lotus guides us all

 

A faint thud can be heard,

Every head turns

Blades are drawn, safeties fall

We will answer the call

 

The Grineer pour into the Jack

Guns-a-blazing, firing fast

The Tenno strike back with vengeful blades

The Grineer begin to fall

 

The Tenno fight hard,

Till decaying bodies cover the floor

The battle is all but done

The Lotus will never fall

 

Archwings ready, airlocks open

The crew retaliate 

Hunting down the survivors

the void guides us all.

Aimed at the enemies with my massive guns,

Shot them down and then we make some puns,

Get the paper, we forgot the lyrics,

Fly us to the mornin!,

Shoot up the engines, we got no time,

Go through the void, Hey there's a butterfly,

Oh no the enemies are aboard!

Use Equinox and make them flawed,

Land Ahoy my teammate screams,

Clean up the ship, and make it clean,

Oh goodie, yes, we just arrived!

Now it's time to sleep, Goodbye...

Wait, it's not the end yet, crewmates,

The railjack has been stolen, and so has our relics,

We are in danger, yes you see,

they chucked us into the sea,

Farewell Tenno and other people,

I wish you shall get along with people,

Because if you don't we will see you soon,

Buried in the Sands of Inaros...

 

I hope you enjoyed!

And I don't mean you will actually be buried in the Sands of Inaros, it just ryhmed 🙂

Engines rumble, a deep roar echoes

Cables sparkle, controls enabled

Hold on tight, for our journey begins—

Onward, to the sky we go!

 

Gears, weapons, bloods and tears

Ready yourself as our foes draw near

Aim, fire, dash through our fears

Onward, to unexplored we go!

 

It’s the Void who will hear our call

It’s our enemies who shall fall

Assemble, Tenno

Onward, to the unknown we go! 

 

No longer chained by our awful past

No use crying in a space so vast

It is the present we know and we control

Onward, to the endless we go! 

 

We’ll flow like the water so cold

Harden, no home nor land too bold 

With our minds and our bodies combined

Onward, to victory we go! 

 

No longer weak, no longer terrified

Traverse through universe like none before!

It’s Tennos who we’ll fight alongside

Onward! Onward! Onward!—

 

To the boundaries of sky we go!

I haven't written poetry in over a decade and now I'm supposed to write a sea shanty?

Welp, here goes nothing.

 

<Intro>

Oooohhhhh;

 

<Verse 1>

We sing the song of sailors old;

Until our bodies all grow cold;

Of a great battle that must be fought;

In the name of honor and justice wrought;

 

We sail our ship through the great expanse;

Destroying our enemies in a single glance;

With the might of gun and blade and bow;

For all of the system to see and know;

 

<Verse 2>

We follow our enemy all through space;

Without hesitation, always giving chase;

To watch them turn tail and run;

And to see their end met and done;

 

Until the day comes where we can finally pause;

Having found an end to our single cause;

Where our home is a safer place;

And to peace and rest, we can face;

 

<Chorus>

Our cause for the fight is just;

Win at all costs, we must;

 

For the Mother that once was;

We cannot forget because;

She forged us into what we are;

And for that, we shall go far;

 

Into the depths of space;

Into a New War, we race;

 

We stand united;

Until the end is decided;

 

<Outro>

For the Origin System, we ride!

 

194 words.

Can't wait to be made fun of. XD

So I just started playing Warframe this Month after not giving it fair chance when it first came to Xbox one, I’m genuinely loving this game now and the community only regret is not sticking with it back then. But I’m here now looking forward to what’s on the horizon and proud to be a Tenno!

Shanty: Tenno Leave her.

I thought I heard the Old Teshin say:

"Leave her,Tenno, leave her."

 

The Next Cycle you’ll get your Ducats,

And it's time for you to leave her.

 

Leave her, Tenno, leave her!

Oh, leave her, Tenno, leave her!

 

For the void is vast and the Grineer be mad.

And it's time for you to leave her.

 

Oh, the Elder Queen was foul and the Lich’s went wild.

"Leave her, Tenno, leave her!"

She was no Lotus by any means and that displeased her.

 

And it's time for us to leave her.

 

I hate to pilot this old Railjack alone so listen close.

"Leave her,Tenno, leave her!"

 

No Kuva needed or Fear allowed.

It's time for us to leave her.

 

We swear by Lotus for want of more.

"Leave her, Tenno, leave her!"

But now we're in the Void so we'll carry on.

As it's time for us to leave her.

 

*Edited* Winning or not, me and my ghost clan have officially started chanting this in between missions.

I see you rewrote "leave her JOHNY leave her" cool idea

When the solar wind meets the railjack frame,
And the sentient rise to meet us.
Though the Lotus fell, we will fight for her name,
And the virtues that she gave us.

Fly on, Tenno, fly on!
Through the dark and murky veil!
Fly on, Tenno, fly on!
Let the light and hope prevail!

Through the Corpus blinded with dreams of gold,
And Grineer dreams of glorious war,
The Infested's ravenous consuming lust,
They will fall to our cannons roar!

Fly on, Tenno, fly on!
Through the dark and murky veil!
Fly on, Tenno, fly on!
Let the light and hope prevail!

I lack tools to record myself singing this, but it a determined song filled with hope to a peaceful system.

The Man in the Wall/ Song of Rell

Here we are, in the Void of Space.
For the next Battle do we brace.
Ready for any Danger to face.
rap tap tap tap.

Who is this Stranger on our Ship?
Trying to mock us with his quip.
Or are our Minds starting to flip?
rap tap tap tap.

The one Rell tried to warn us about.
From a Wisper, his voice turned loud.
The Man in the Wall without a doubt.
rap tap tap tap.

The one responsebel for Rell's suffer.
Without the Dream it even got rougher.
His sacrifice made us tougher.
rap tap tap tap.

Rell, who was denied our Way.
Fought so hard to keep him at bay.
To keep us safe he had to flay.
rap tap tap tap.

He fought so long, he did his best.
But now we can fight whith rell abreast.
In the End he can finaly rest.
rap tap tap tap.

Now the Man in the Wall is here to stay.
When the Lotus vanished he showed us the Way.
His real Motives might still be grey.
rap tap tap tap.

He gave us the Key to fight back,
the closing in Sentient attack.
He gave us the key to our railjack.
rap tap tap tap.

Here we are, in the Void of Space.
Ready to fight, ready to face,
any danger, at any place.

I give you.. 'The Pobber Revolution'.

Fortuna was a peaceful place, with creatures ‘cross the land;
Yet none were quite prepared for the Corpus Boards demands;
Each crewman and his osprey went in search of beastly scat;
Delving deeper into snow-blown caves to find a quite small rat.
 

They heard what seemed like roaring from a kubrodon that day;
But how very unprepared they were for what had come their way;
Not Plasmor nor the Lanka would save them from this bloodbath;
For the foolish Corpus lads had incurred the Pobbers wrath.
 

That day the greedy crewmen, they had learned of this new threat;
But the Tenno who had just arrived were not so quick to fret;
The lonesome crew of Railjack had just now found their head;
For the rats name was Bin-Dar, and the Board began to sweat.


The ship was called the Odyssey, with Pobbers in its crew;
No Corpus ship could hope to stand before this rodent coup;
More Tenno craft began to join the fight that had begun;
For the mighty captain Bin-Dar would now see this battle done.
 

Their target was the engines of the Corpus flagship nigh;
Should they fail to make the cannon shot, more creatures would now die;
The barrel charged with light soon, and then from the deadly spout;
The sound of hard light firing forced the Corpus to reroute.

(Best sung to the beat of 'Christmas at Sea'.)

does row, row, row your boat count as shanti ?

 

my shanty :

Void speak to me, to us, 

Whisper us the call,

Make us the void,

 

Fly we to the void,

Calling the call,

Slicing the impurity,

 

Fade away VOR, fade away VOR,

 

WE are coming Sentient,

Crafting flux,

Crafting omni,

Wait for us, soon we will knock,

Sharp as Dagger, single as dagger - we,

Pierce we will on the impurity,

 

Fly fly fly RAILJACK

Far from home.
by:
Atiax


we are far from home,

feel the void the void we sail

empty void, it will return, 

the enemy has been slain, 

but they will return, again , again , again

we will never stop this fight

 

we live to fight
we fight for a living
weeee fight
the grineer were slain,
the corpus pose no threath
but the sentients
we will fight till the fall

 

we are far from home
feel the emptyness of space
feel the souls of those bevore us
they feed our warrior spirit

 

the enemy will fall
bevore tenno eyes, they will sufer
they will live in shame
even when they will come back
they will fall again


we are far from home
the spirits will call us
we will be ready

we are far from home.
