(Chorus)

The tides are rising,

The war’s within,

Through space demising

With railjack and hymn!

 

Is there a way

To fill the void

That war and fray

Have long destroyed?

 

Join the quest

To the digital extreme

No time for rest

In a third dream.

 

The tides are rising,

The war’s within,

Through space demising

With railjack and hymn!

 

Embers turn ash

Spoils in cache

Of burdens be wary

Too heavy to carry.

 

But the vast weight

Of our endeavor

It's Fortunate

We lift together.

 

The tides are rising,

The war’s within,

Through space demising

With railjack and hymn!

 

Prepare the ship!

Prepare for trip!

Lotus in need,

Space must be freed!

 

Now we embark

Endless we roam

No light without dark

War is our home!

 

The tides are rising,

The war’s within,

Through space demising

With railjack and hymn!

 

Fight today,

We are on!

Here to stay

Till we are gone.

 

(quieter)

Here to slay 

Till we are gone.

 

(whisper)

Won't decay

Till we argon.

Edge of the Stars

Sailing the stars, out on the fringes
Hear the Railjack's roaring engines
When battle comes we'll be ready
Pilot be swift, gunner be steady
On this, our fate hinges

Seeking our glory, near and far
Out here, we follow our lodestar
Battle-hardened, our Warframes worn
But to this life we're worthy born
Come, tally our scars

Fight with might till the last card's played
Fight till the last Sentient's unmade
'Neath the black that coldly shimmers
Turn our foes to lonely cinders
For our flame never fades 

Gliding through space, legends we'll make 
So that the stars themselves shake
Warships sighted, start the attack
When it's all done, we leave only scrap
In the Railjack's wake

Countless years ago while lost in barren seas
There whispered murmurs of a bloody mutiny
We took up arms and slaid the officers of rank
And with swords drawn ,made the captain walk the plank
And as he fell down to the depths
He swore a deadly curse
"As sure as hell's my final fate
You'll all soon die, or worse"
Now as we stand before the gallows
Waiting for the end
I'll say these final words, my friend
At sunrise we'll all dance the hempen jig
So raise up your pint of rum and take another swig
The curse of Captain Morgan has led us to this fate
So have no fear, and don't look back, the afterlife awaits

More of a tongue in cheek poem since it lacks a proper shanty feeling. Imagined the first verse as the chorus repeated after every 2nd verse if it would be turned into a song.

Casual Sailing in Space

We sail among the stars
Just yesterday on Mars
Sometimes lost in the Void
Eh, we're not annoyed

Remember our mate Joe?
Well, he ran out of ammo
We didn't have any time to linger
Found his Archwing and a finger

Our pilot Marie's an ace
Always wins the first place
In her we place our trust
She leaves Grineer in the dust

Once Sandra brought Clem along
"The Grakatas are very strong!"
Sure enough, packed the punch
The four of them shared a lunch

The engineer's name is Will
Smart and excited to kill
Loves his weird jokes though
We all just call him a weirdo

The lifter guy with an Archwing?
Slung him off Saturn's ring
Apparently his name was Vince
Haven't seen him since

Oh! Hear the fighting outside?
Man the turrets and take pride
Enemies will count their dead
That's the first flying Grineer head!

Hi,

---

Give us a tall ship
And a star to steer her by.
Give us guns and blades
To fight against the sky.

Through blaze of freedom
Brothers tenno we are.
We will never bring
This mighty ship too far.

Give us the humble
And the weak to defend.
Give us wings of steel
The stars we will ascend.

Through seas of the sun
We'll fly to villains nest.
Firing and roaring
For them never to rest.

From the void... We were born.
To the void... We'll return.
Hand in hand... Side by side.
Along this journey... We will shine.

Give us a target
To raise our cannons high.
Give us a flower
For our course to guide.

Through storms of iron
Forever we will sail.
We will enlight
And clear this heavens trail.

Give us a new war
To always feel alive.
Give us ramming speed
Into battle to dive.

Through swarms of bullets
We'll proudly stand the line.
Watching the moment
To rush to giant's eye.

From the void... We were born.
To the void... We'll return.
Together... Side by side.
Like a beacon... We will shine.

Give us a new war
To always feel alive.
Give us peace...
To slumber 'til next time...

A railjack space shanty, inspired by the tune of "Space Shanty".


 

 

Shipkillers and turbines and Galleons, oh my

The Grineer are about to blow us sky high

Crewships are strengthening the enemy fleet

Their fighters surround us to give us defeat

 

(Chorus)

There's absolute chaos here from the word Go

The struggle is real, it's something we know

With voices all raised when our hope is long gone

This space is a void hole but we will fight on!

 

 

The hull has five ruptures, there's fire on the floor 

The shields have shorted, there's ice on the door

Urgent commands issued from Cephalon Cy

Cannot be fulfilled for the Omni is dry 

 

(Chorus)

 

The pilot is quickly locked into the chase

Just twisting and turning all over the place

The side Gunners sit and will silently blame

The pilot for wrecking all chance for their aim

 

(Chorus)

 

Tactician gets dizzy while in the slingshot

Before he flies off to wherever he wants

The engineer tasked with maintaining the ship

Is asked to do much when resources are zip 

 

(Chorus)

 

The ramsleds are coming, the boarders break in

But Grineer are confused, the place is vacant

Where are the Tenno they were ordered to shoot?

We're all off gathering sweet Sentient loot!

 

(Chorus)

 

This space is a void hole but we will fight on!

 

THIS SPACE IS A VOID HOLE BUT WE WILL FIGHT ON!

Follow Mother's call
Through our gorgeous Void.
Let's win this bloody battle
And have more people joined.

It's not the ending point,
Our Warframes not destroyed.
Let's win this bloody battle
And stop the hostile's noise.

Together we are strong
And our Railjacks are fast.
Let's win this bloody battle
And help all living folks.

This war is not the last.
Armies are expanding fast.
Let's win this bloody battle
And save our perfect world.

"Are you ready kiddo?"

By: SkyRox3112

 

<chorus>

Are you ready kiddo?

<chorus>

________________________________
Awoken with no warnin',
Taken as a Prize!
You couldn't handle sheer size
Of ancient warrior's power!

Returnin' the peace to the galaxy
Now our duty is!
Once Awake, justice
Can not be held back!

Stolen Dreams now returned,
Pointin' the way to the shiny star!
Rallyin' new allies we are,
Preparin' for the incomin' storm!
________________________________

<chorus>

Get the engines runnin',
It's time to take a fligh',
High above the blue sky!
Let's rock 'n' roll, kiddo!

<chorus>

________________________________
The New Strange unkown, is
Bringin' a new mistery!
Investigantin' the new discovery
Reveals the mistery greater!

The Lotus of truth closed tight,
Keepin' the truth away for the better!
The petals of lies scatter,
Revealin' only half o' the truth!

Hunted by shadow of the past,
Forced beyond the far Moon!
Awake we shall soon,
From The Second Dream of our!
________________________________

<chorus>

Takin' you down one by one!
Think you can run,
But we've already won!
It's time to fly, kiddo!

<chorus>

________________________________
Chaos, doubt, not the war without,
But The War Within!
To discover the power within,
Break The Chains of, once, closed mind!

Howl all you want,
It won't bring it back!
The lotus of trust turned black,
The only Sacrifice, to mature, acceptable!

The old darkness has returned,
Approaching like a Rising Tide!
There's no place to hide
From our might!
________________________________

<chorus>

'Til we get the booty,
There ain't stopin'!
Endlessly flyin' 'n' raidin'!
Time to wake up, kiddo!

<chorus>

________________________________

Are you ready kiddo,
For the arrival of The New War?

Disclaimer/explaination:

This was my first time writing a shanty (or any song) so I know it's not realy good and maybe it missed the purpose of shanty. Lines that are completly like this are the short version that you can just sing if you don't want to remeber the whole song (words that look like this in middle of normal words aren't part of this) and it is basically about what we do in railjack mission (get ready, shoot stuff, get the loot/booty), but you can still sing those parts along with the rest of the song. What I wanted to do is present the whole journey Tenno took up to this point.

Awoken just to be taken as Vor's PRIZE. 

For ONCE AWAKE I only used the name of the quest, it doesn't have to do with infested, instead it represents the begining of the journey.

STOLEN DREAMS are basically when we get Maroo, Clem, syndicates, people of Cetus and Fortuna to fight along side us

THE NEW STRANGE is when Chroma, controled by the infested, shows up and at that point we are getting deeper into Tenno's origins

I didn't use "Natah" in the song because I saw THE LOTUS as something bit more symbolic (it's basically the same person anyway)

THE SECOND DREAM, definetly the most important story quest, is when we finaly find out who are the Tenno

In THE WAR WITHIN we fight inside our mind to completly free ourself.

I know Chains of Harrow is a completly diferent quest from TWW, but I couldn't help myself to not put something like "breaking the chains" in TWW part

For SACRIFICE I had to be bit more creative because it isn't realy clear who made sacrifice and what kind of sacrifice

THE RISING TIDE is as we know the latest quest and, besides Erra and Chimera quests, it is the prologue for THE NEW WAR

Well, that's it from me, I hope you like it and good luck to all of you!!! :-)

The First awakening

Dust.. Dust… Gathe-r the Dust….

Dust.. Dust... Gathe-r The Dust….
Galaxies form from your power,
You just need a spark to ignite the light

You can almost hear the cry of an Eidolon,
Through the dark cast of space.
You can feel the power of those who passed, The Orokin race.

The Tenno now dash through the inky abyss, Powered by the void.
They serve the Lady of Space, Our lovely Lotus…

The void they spin tells the tales of Them, Their true forms.
Children they are, Children that dream of a better world.

So they gather the dust till awakened anew from their dreams…..

(This was like 20 mins so i'm sorry if its bad 😓 )

We board the 'jack

And we dont look back

Dont go astray

Or you'll find a grineer bay

 

Off to find the Orokin treasure

Off to find the Orokin treasure

We will search 'til the end of time

 

Off to find the Orokin treasure 

Off to find the Orokin treasure 

We will search until we die

 

They're no match for us out there

They see our 'jack they'll have a scare

We'll persevere

I know we're near

 

Off to find the Orokin treasure 

Off to find the Orokin treasure 

We will search 'til the end of time 

 

Off to find the Orokin treasure 

Off to find the Orokin treasure 

We will search until we die

"I hear them wailing, i hear them calling
solar winds,they are now forming
trusty ship, captain takes another sip
in the cold black space
grineer armada and a railjack race

so we

row and row so fast ho ho
row and row so fast ho ho
i see land so far above, 
one on top and one below
lua is up yet down we go, 
to the planes of eidolon
grineer fortress shall see the smoke
where theres fire theres tenno

in the dark night we will come
when they see us they will run.
never before have they heard so loud
the cries of freedom of a child
When earth is safe we will leave
to save all sol civilians you best believe

we then sail through the milky way
never caring what corpus say
see those stars far and close
empyrean shall sail to those"

Heres mine, hope you guys like it and sorry for grammatical errors but its not my first language, english that is.

Grineer, we'll kill and break their bones!

Make their Queens be overthrown!

Raid their ships across the sky!

Make them bleed and make them cry!

Fix the cracks upon the ship

(We need revolite!) Make it quick!

Upon the stars we call our seas,

We fly about here gleefully!

Through the stars

Up and far.

Through the stars.

is where we are.

Trying to save the galaxy

While trying to take a seat

Working together so we don’t bleed

Struck and stopped from the queens

High high in the sky

We don’t fear a mortal cry

In our galleon

In our galleon we sing,

In our galleon

In our galleon we sing,

Through space dust and the void

kept from earth to be deployed

We will work until not needed

But even then we will receive it

All the calls of plea’s for help

Will be casted on our belts

Because when we are in a war

In our galleon we will sing

In our galleon

In our galleon

In our galleon we will sing..

Inspired by: Bink's brew from One Piece

Yo ho ho ho Tenooo ho!                                                               Yo ho ho ho Tenooo ho!

Gather up all of the crew,
It's time to visit our friend Maroo.
She owns a bar,
That's quite bizarre,                                                                     The best that's in the void!

Whether you're going just for friends,
Or to show off fashion trends.
Come along,
And sing our song,                                                                     Our fashion frames deployed!

Sometimes Corpus wreck our fun,
But prisoners we take are none.
We drive them back,
With our Railjack,                                                                         Till Salad V's annoyed!

With Grineer ships at our head,
Pretty soon they'll all be dead.
So pack your gear,
To fight Grineer,                                                                         Until they're all destroyed! 

Now the stars are at our backs
Finally we can relax
There is no place
Like out in space.                                                                       Where Stalker's unemployed!

Yo ho ho ho Tenoooo ho!
Yo ho ho ho Tenoooo ho!

The way my phone submitted the text some words were out of place and I couldn't space them correctly. I had to copy the example given and try molding my own shanty with different spacing to it.

(chorus)

Deep into the void we sail

divide us it would try

but, a trial, a test we fail

fight until we die

 (Verse)

The Tenno they come

in many or few

the Tenno they come

A warriors breath drew

then down with one cut

fell the army in two

The Tenno they come

(Chorus)

Deep into the void we sail

divide us it would try

but, a trial, a test we fail

fight until we die

(Verse 2)

The Tenno protect all of those who can’t fight

they walk in the day and they kill at night

to save all the people of terror and fear 

To kill all the grineer, and tear them a new rear.

(bridge)

now Tenno, oh Tenno, what will you do?

You see what you must do, now follow it through

you see what you must do, now follow it through

(chorus)

Deep into the void we sail

divide us it would try

but, a trial, a test we fail

fight until we die

Fight until we die!

we fight until we die!

Woah oh, tenno on board,

From crew to ship, they will sail the void with a Warframe at there side.

With grineer and corpus at there back, seeker volley will be fired.

Woah oh, tenno on board

Shots were fired from Port to starboard, foes were all around, 

It's looken like a new war!

Woah oh, Tenno on board

With New war a coming, the mighty Tenno will in list in aid,

Friend or foe, a battle will be fought.

Woah oh, Tenno has left the ship

Railjack! Off into space.

Railjack! We go to war.

Railjack! Off to explore.



Armed to the Brim,

we launch to win.



Now spread our wings

and all hang tight 

as we pursue

our fated fight.



Railjack! There for the rise.

Railjack! There for the fall.

Tossed on the waves

That roil through the void

faced Corpus, Grineer,

corrupted and droid



Repairing the rifts 

left torn through our time,

Warframes will persist

and fight to our prime



Always here for the fight,

Always there for the end,

Railjack!

Song name: We are warframes

 

Fly to the stars

Heading to Proxima we fly away

This is the day

If the enemy stand in our way
They will feel the pain

Who's in control

The powerful Tenno please guide us now

We won't let you down

All the Grineer

We can see their fear deep into their eyes

The engines gets louder

We can hear a raging firing sound

Our weapons are loaded

It's time, dear Tenno we're bound


Chorus


We are warframes

We are born to fight

We are warframes

Ready to take flight

We are ninjas from space

We all come from darkness and light

Battling above the skies


Our swords, they are yield

In the battlefield there is a place for us

In our crew we trust

We're going to win as our ship is leading us to victory


Take them all down

No threat to be found this is over


In this dark space we're ready to face

what is next to come


The engines gets... 

Repeat


Chorus

Light the thrusters, light the forge

Our Beast rumbles to begin the gorge

By the void path we’re ready to burn

Turn their screams to the taciturn

 

So draw the forge, load the guns

Star up the black with little suns

Mind the ‘hair and take the shot

Turn the cold space boiling hot

 

The Grineer begin with devilish swarms

Won’t be nothing better to make space warm

The rabid dogs will at us howl

But all they leave is a stench most foul

 

So draw the forge, load the guns

Send out the seekers to have some fun

Mind the ‘hair and take the shot

Our own swarm will strike all spots

 

Larger tubs there will be

Crewship translates on the black sea

Ramsleads will be on the inbound

Metal pounds with rotting hounds

 

So draw the forge, load the guns

They lost their chance to try and run

Mind the ‘hair and take the shot

Artillery light will leave but naught

 

Past the silent sea of red

Past the void lies our dread

A great Wyrm wakes and writhes

Its shed of children will come in strides

 

So draw the forge, load the guns

We cannot practice enough of these runs

Mind the ‘hair and take the shot

One chance might be all that was bought

Explorers of the great beyond
Space holds our admiration
It's the reason we were spawned
The stars our destination

No map can show our way
We follow our inclination
We have no time for delay
The stars our destination

Nora Night may tell our story
To provide some motivation
Spill no guts and get no glory
The stars our destination

Pause our journey to defend
Victims of brutal domination
Bring vicious tyrants to their end
The stars our destination

We ride our warframes into battle
No fear, doubt, or hesitation
Our enemies issue a death rattle
The stars our destination

Our journey will never be over
An odyssey with no culmination
With infinite worlds to discover
The stars our destination
