Arms to the 'ol Railjack
-by rowdypants

"All arms to the railjack, tenno!
there's sentient off the prow
Grineer at our starboard
So, tenno lets show them how
the railjack fights with our tenno made might
we'll push those scoundrels back!
then make our way to the nearest relay
and prepare our next attack!"

(chorus)
"Heave ho, Tenno! 
Shore leave waits for you
Push those kubrow off the line
and then we're punching through
Scrap and fight as a railjack crew
if you want to earn your leave!
(pause)
man the starboard guns
as we make our run
and push our railjack through!"

"All arms to the railjack, Tenno!
there's more sentient off the bow
Grineer at our portside too
So, Tenno lets show them how
the railjack runs while we man the guns
with a surprise retreat attack!
then we'll make our way to the nearest relay
and we're never coming back!"

(chorus)
"Heave ho, Tenno! 
There's no leave left for you
Those devils have pushed the whole fleet back
We never made it through
Turn and run as a railjack crew
As we beg our foes their leave!
(pause)
man the stern side guns
as we make our run
And find something else to do!"

As the welders torch burns.

So does my desire.

To reach to every star.

Then go even higher.

 

I stand at the ready,

My crew getting anxious.

I look to the skies,

As we all become pugnacious.

 

The roar of the thrusters

and the loading of the guns.

Get ready Grineer.

The Empyrean has begun.

 

We're battle ready and fully loaded.

My crew has finished preparing.

Cephalon Cy plot a course!

"Translating in 3... 2... 1.. Grab Something"

 

All hands on station,

The Galleon's in sight!

Man the cannons

and prepare for a fight!

 

Man your Archwing,

They know we're here.

I'll man the turrets......

Cause I don't know how to steer.

 

Slingshot ready?

Pierce their hull!

Find the captain

And bring me his skull.

 

Crewships inbound

Boarding parties on deck.

To arms my Brothers!

Wait..... is that a Hek!?

 

Galleon destroyed.

Let's head for home.

The battle was hard fought

And our courage has shown.

 

Though this Railjack is damaged

And may become a Meme.

This system shall fear the crew

Of The Digital Extreme.

We all board our railjack and delve into the night

We stand at the ready we're prepared for a fight

If any oppose us we all know what to do

We light up their crewships and we take home the loot!

 

Oh their ships will burn bright, and our spirits will too,

When we show them the might of a great railjack crew!

 

We fight for what's right, or so it appears

When we enter the fray to take down the grineer

We work and we fight, we labor and toil

But it all will be worth it when we take home the spoils!

 

Oh their ships will burn bright, and our spirits will too

When we show them the might of a great railjack crew!

 

We protect those in need, this surely is true

But we also will boast what our railjack can do

Yes we do claim the loot, though not out of greed

For we use what we earn to defend those in need!

 

Oh their ships will burn bright, and our spirits will too

When we show them the might of a great railjack crew!

When we show them the might of the best railjack crew!

To be a Sol Sailor is right for me.
To be a Sol Sailor brings the fight to me.
No other place I'd rather be.
Guiding my ship in the Solar Sea.

Hell! Hell! 
Is what we'll give'm.

Hell! Hell!
Is our guns to a rhythm.

Hell! Hell!
And back we'll send'em from the Solar Sea.

The flower has wilted

We're left all alone

She brought us together

N' together'll 'tone

 

We wake from our dreams

What once white and gold

Rusted and dead rotten and old

 

The flower has wilted

We're left all alone

We brought us together

N' us alone

 

We travel in clans family again

The ships we sail we die to defend

Battered and bloody charred and deafened

 

The flower has wilted

We're left all alone

Together we stand

N' together we fall

 

Croupus n' Grineer so bloated and thick

The corruption blinding they fall for our trick

Coughing and spewing dying and sick

 

The flower has wilted

We're left all alone

Fall all alone

Die all alone

Now we few have readied our ships

To discover new myth and lore,

nothing shall hinder our trips away

not even captain Vor!

 

Crack the hulls of our fleeting foe away these cowards will hide.

The railjack is a mighty vessel, were just along for the ride!

 

We came across many new treasures and adventures that we have never seen before,

galleons are tough we know that for sure,but nothing can stop our archwing saboteur!

 

Crack the hulls of our fleeting foe away these cowards will hide. 

The railjack is a mighty vessel, were just along for the ride!

 

No matter what, the crew prevails. The heart of a tenno will never die,

The ship may crack, twist, and break, but never go awry.

 

The origin system is our home,

it will not be taken lightly,

 the sentients will come and stalker will be near, 

but we will end them rightly.

 

Crack the hulls of our fleeting foe away these cowards will hide, The railjack is a mighty vessel,were just along for the ride!

 

Cetus, Fortuna, Maroos bazaar, we know these places well. The operators though we barely know except that one named rell.

 

Hydroid prime is at the helm ready with cutlass drawn. Enemy crew has boarded the ship, they won't be there for long.

 

Crack the hulls of our fleeting foe away these cowards will hide, The railjack is a mighty vessel, were just along for the ride!

Across the galaxy, everyone i have to tend.

Grineer shred planets and stars

Forever feels this scar

Will this war ever end?

 

Rampages everywhere, each one more horrible than the other

Bloodshed for knowledge

Will we able to manage

I feel distrust with mother

 

The void with its mysteries

Lost in time 

Species in decline

The void with tales and golden histories

 

Crisis in the galaxy

I have to protect those in need

But Inside me

Slowly losing my sanity

To free this system of it's plight!

Be they Grineer, Corpus, Sentient or Infested,

We will be there, to win the fight! 

 

Our reach is long,

Our guns are strong, 

Aboard the Railjack we fight!

All Tenno aboard, all hands are on deck, its time to keep those enemy factions in check! so man all your station - guns, navigation and all - someone make sure they cant rupture our hull!

(Cheers and Gales)

From the dusty Earth plains to the Void that does call - we fight for each other, for one, and for all! Though Sentients may come - we'll teach 'em to fear, the children of void and their shiny new gear!

(Cheers and Gales)

With our Warframes, our Arcanes, and Custom Amps too - I'm certain there's nothing we Tenno cant do! So we'll fight 'em and break 'em and send ' em away - but for now lets dock and call it a day!

(Cheers and Gales start the slowly fade)

Yo! Ho ho! We now leave the dock!

We're on our way to fly away in the vast empty space!

OH!

Yo! Ho ho! We see the muckers now!

We'll gun them down and slash them 'round till they're all brown!

HEY!

Yo! Ho ho! We've seen it all now! You can't attack! You won't come back! in this empty space!

YO!

We'll return! To the storm! To win! The war!

and when we come back! We will attack! To save the day!

OH!

Ho ho! We're all done now! Back to the dock! Towards the shop! To claim our reward!

Yeah!

Saturn Bound

 

We’ve sailed a score of sorties o’re,
The proxima of Earth,
Sinking sloops and fighters,
We’ve more than proved our worth.
But hark! The tide’s a risin’,
And we must be movin’ on.
The enemies of Origin,
We’ll fight ‘em tooth and claw!

Holes in the ship!
Gotta stitch ‘em up.
Boarders inbound!
Gonna string ‘em up.
Engines are cold!
Gotta spin ‘em up.
Get on the helm ‘cause we’re Saturn bound.

 

All our guns are brought about
Now gunners let ‘em roar!
Engineer don’t let up now
Keep firin’ up the forge.
Fighters port and starboard,
Outriders fast behind,
Galleon ahead of us,
For the Lotus now we fly.

Holes in the ship!
Gotta stitch ‘em up
Boarders inbound!
Gonna string ‘em up
Engines are cold!
Gotta spin ‘em up
Get on the helm ‘cause we’re Saturn bound.

 

Hear the klaxon sounding,
The legions storming in,
“The tenno are aboard the ship!”
We hear above the din.
Tear ‘em up! The grineer captain,
His doom he can’t avoid.
We sent the gallion with all hands,
Screaming lost into the void.

 

Holes in the ship!
Gotta stitch ‘em up
Boarders inbound!
Gonna string ‘em up
Engines are cold!
Gotta spin ‘em up
Get on the helm ‘cause we’re Saturn bound.
Get on the helm ‘cause we’re Saturn bound.

We've built our ship and now we see the space that calls for ye. So come along and board with me, as we head into the open space sea.

The times we'll have, will make you glad you came along with me. The stories you'll tell and riches you'll reap, will make anyone want to come along and see.

Don't fear the danger and don't close your eyes, as we will take to the skies. Explore we will and we'll never be still, so enjoy the thrill with glee.

So take my hand and throw out the plans. For now we adventure to new lands.

My first post and the second song I've ever written! Basically, the volume should slowly increase while singing until the last line of the chorus and the last two lines of each verse are shouted rather than sung (except for verse 4 that ends with slower and louder overdramatic singing of the last word). Enjoy!

 

The Ballad of Alads One through Four

Chorus:

Oh the mighty Alad V we know well and true,

But it is of his family that I will tell you,

Little did you know, Alad V is number five,

But, of one through four, not a one are alive!

 

1:

Alad number one, he had a bit of fun!

He went to earth, and shortly he was done!

He came with a force, for a relic, of course!

The Grineer did not approve, a fire fight did ensue!

He went back to Corpus, but far more porous!

 

Chorus

 

2:

For Alad the second, his doom did beckon!

He was in research, but, for the danger, didn’t reckon!

He designed a rifle, the Lanka was no trifle!

But in the first test, planning wasn’t the best!

The bullet went through, and vacuum took number two!

 

Chorus

 

3:

Oh, Alad number 3, such a tragedy!

An invite to a con, he did receive!

Host Tyl Regor, definitely not a bore!

Alad said something wrong, so didn’t last very long!

Three was not at his best, and the manics cleaned up the rest!

 

Chorus

 

4:

Alad 4 was his name, violence was his game!

And he thought the Tenno deserved more of the same!

The index he did join, with coin he did purloin!

The Tenno beat him down, made him look quite a clown!

This Alad did bleed, needed an Alad I.V., but died in the end in front of Alad Veeeeeee!

 

Chorus

Swim and swim in black nothing

Take the wheel

Raise your wings

Fly and shoot and sing and sing

 

Hunt the preys and shoot and loot

Set the baits

Stab their backs

Burn their ships, burn to root

 

Watch the back and watch the front

Tap you feet

Dance and shake

Pass the line and go for hunt

 

Clean the space with crimson ring

Clench your fist

Break their bones

Fly and shoot and sing and sing

Railjack Driver

As, a wee young Tenno, I looked upon the heavens

And gazed upon the stars that were glisten'n there

 

Peering up a wee bit longer, a flshing light Id see

The lights of a railjack driver flashing them right at me

 

Ol Railjack driver, whats it like up there?

Pittin your wits against countless Grineer?

Ol Railjack driver, tell me what its like?

To meet some tight compadres in those darkest of nights

 

Flashing through the stars, astroids alike

Engines at full throttle and turrets set alight.

Fighting off fighters, motherships too

What can you do without your tight compadre crew?

 

Gunner holdn down that trigger, blastn what he can

Miss engineer and Cephalon, with repairs at hand

Special operator on arcwing, making for enemy ship,

To sabotage their core and get rid of them quick

 

As time moves forward and that life becomes my own,

My son asked me what its like up their alone?

 

I gazed upon the stars and smiled to myself,

You can't be alone, with ol railjack driver to help.

 

Ol Railjack driver, hands at the wheel

Steering through Corpus ranks with courage and zeal

Ol Railjack driver, skillful and tact

To take an entire fightn crew and have them safely back.

 

Flashing through the stars, astroids alike

Engines at full throttle and turrets set alight.

Fighting off fighters, motherships too

What can you do without your tight compadre crew?

 

Ol Railjack driver, whats it like up there?

Pittin your wits against countless Grineer?

Ol Railjack driver, tell me what its like?

To meet some tight compadres in those darkest of nights

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.

Way hay, into legends

 

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

The heavenly Nations tremble when they see us.

Way hay, 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!

Way hay, will devour all our enemies!

Rise Up

Written by PurplePhoenix, Bard of the Oath of Blood Clan

We twisted void's children,
For freedom we yearn,
Riding what was once lost to the annals of time,
We rise and return;

Out of the ashes we
Rise up!
Into the darkness we
Rise up!
Friends by our side we will
Rise up!
Awaiting our mother's return,
Through Sol's empty vastness we burn.

Though Earth may be tainted,
We fight for it's soul,
We stand for the broken, the weak, the enslaved,
And we shall make them whole.

Though enemies gather,
Past the void's hateful grace,
We shall not resign ourselves to defeat,
This new war, we'll embrace;

Out of the ashes we
Rise up!
Into the darkness we
Rise up!
Friends by our side we will
Rise up!
Awaiting our mother's return,
Through Sol's empty vastness we burn.

And if we shall fail,
If this fight be lost,
The Tenno will rise, time and time again,
With fire force and frost.

And out of the ashes we'll
Rise up!
Into the darkness we'll
Rise up!
Friends by our side we will
Rise up!
Awaiting our mother's return...

Through thunder and rain we shall
Rise up!
We will fight through the pain and will
Rise up!
We'll break evil's chains and now
Rise up!
Through sentient flesh we shall burn.
Until our sweet mother's return.

 

Tune written, chords and recorded vocals tbc 😛

Leave Her Tenno

I thought I heard Cephalon Cy say:

"Leave her, Tenno, leave her."

Later when we're home, you will get your pay,

But it's time for us to leave her.

 

Chorus:
Leave her, Tenno, leave her!

Oh, leave her, Tenno, leave her!

For the voyage is long, and the power is low

And it's time for us to leave her.

 

Oh, the void was foul and the risk was high.

"Leave her, Tenno, leave her!"

She shipped vacuum and none went by.

And it's time for us to leave her.

 

(Chorus)

 

I hate to sail on this rusted tub

"Leave her, Tenno, leave her!"

No daku allowed, and rotten grub

And it's time for us to leave her.

 

(Chorus)

 

We swear by rote for more to stock

"Leave her, Tenno, leave her!"

But now we're through so back to dry dock

And it's time for us to leave her.

 

(Chorus)

The Space lament

What's up with the captain, we've little to no rest.
From dawn until sunset scavenging all this pest.
He's barely sleeping but still cheers us on our quest.
Pursuing like obsessed his dream of treasure chest.

Trough space neverending, wrecking others to scrap.
Without any compass, oh, without any map.
Dreaming about success, nearing it step by step.
Tempting visions of nap are the most vicious trap.

Traversing void every day long and every night.
Against clones and misers and for the treasure's light.
Tenno of our shuttle want to harvest with might.
As long as we can fight we dream about our flight.

Every canon ready and crewman on his place.
Pilot draws enemy and gunner blasts his face.
In a whirl of sparks we leave that pile of disgrace.
And continue our race slicing through endless space.

As long as he's dreaming we're fighting side by side.
Because our bold captain has made his stubborn mind.
For space ninja pirates treasure's better than bride.
So we repeat like blind the neverending grind.

 

(Imagine it being sung in six-syllables-pause-six-syllables style.I would sing myself but I will not.)

Shanty: Tenno's Task

[Chorus (repeats after each verse)]

Well! We have wasted hours on end repairing our Railjack
A Cephalon once thought forgone has given us a mission
Start the engines, we're nearing all the resources that we lack
To gather them we must defend in a battle of attrition

[Verse 1]

Visitors, inquisitors from all across the stars
Today we grind for and refine resources near and far
If ye can't afford a journey to a proximity 
Have no fear! A captain here will gladly taxi ye

[Verse 2]

Here we've gathered the best crew the galaxy could ask
So every Tenno listen up, and prepare to do your task 
With a crew there's more, of us there's four, our job is each our own
To salvage plunder (and sink Grineer asunder!) your role must be known

[Verse 3]

Wukong Prime, it is your time to man the turrets two 
When you see a ramsled you must never let it through
Excalibur, to keep our plans from being thwarted, repair and refine
When the Railjack is boarded, use your blade Exalted and divine

[Verse 4]

And lastly I, Limbo Prime, will be yer captain and not set us adrift
When Cy tells of a boarding party, I'll be safe inside the rift
And when the ship is near its end in a state near disaster
I will use all our refuse to arm the black hole blaster!

Shanty: Void's Call

 

Come on, ye Tenno child,

And sing us a song of glory;

Of powers greater than those

Who dare to oppose our story.

 

Though silence do we ferry,

The song of our engines will roar,

Past tales of lands unseen;

Through empty mist we soar.

 

So call on, ye maiden of starlight...

carry us through Void's Call.

Our flagship is primed for the journey

and we shall never fall.

 

Yes, we shall never fall.
