In the night

When good people cry

The Tenno wake

Before they come to aid

 

Don't tell lies

Don't be a bad guy

Or you'll have died

Before sunrise

 

Grineer drop

As Tenno guns fire

Left as sacrifice

For more to rise

 

Status effects

Make Saryn deny

Valkyr lives

As Corpus die

 

Infested adapt

To fit the fight

Lephantis screams

Into the night

 

In the night

The tenno fight

When their abilities activate

They seal your fate

 

More Tenno rise

As years pass by

You have to wait

Before we die

 

In the night

The Kubrows bite

Eidolons hunt

Till the sunrise

 

Sentients invade

Resistance crowned

But in the void

Natah shall drown

 

END

While i was Writing this i just thought about Various aspects of the game and i'm sorry if it didn't "work" because im not very good at composing. I mainly thought about how the different factions get along and i couldn't find a place where the orokin would fit in. I thought about how the sentients adapt to your attacks and how in the second dream quest, something along the lines of 'The void is poison to them' was mentioned by The Lotus when you escape sentients through a void portal. other than that, my ideas were mainly from quests and just different aspects of gameplay.

Now we are ready to head for Natah
Weigh, hey, fly an' go!
Our Omnis an' our guns are all in the Railjack
ready to shoot you into spare parts!

Heave a blade, oh, heave away
Weigh, hey, shoot and run!
The crew on board an' the payload all stored
ready to destroy you an' your ships!

Oh, man the cephalon captain is here
Weigh, hey, fix an' kill!
Soon we'll be flying her 'way far into space
ready to destroy you an' your ships!

Heave a blade, oh, heave away
Weigh, hey, shoot and run!
The crew on board an' the payload all stored
ready to destroy you an' your ships!

Heave away, grineer, ye parish-rigged bums
Weigh, hey, fix and kill!
Take yer hands away from yer guns,
„can’t really blame them for trying.“ 
Heave a blade, oh, heave away
Weigh, hey, shoot and run!
The crew on board an' the payload all stored
ready to destroy you an' your ships!
We're outward bound for Veil proxima
Weigh, hey, fix and kill!
Get crackin', me lads, it's a hell of a way!
Lots of killing yet to be made!

Heave a blade, oh, heave away
Weigh, hey, shoot and run!
The crew on board an' the payload all stored
ready to destroy you an' your ships!
Heave a blade, oh, heave away
Weigh, hey, shoot and run!
The crew on board an' the payload all stored
more killing yet to be done.

 

 the tune/music is

The dreadnoughts - randy dandy-oh 

I lisitened to it while writing it so that it would fit well with the music, of course some elements were taken.

I hope this is original enough

With voidstorm incoming, 
Or ramsleds inbound,
The gunners stay ready,
To kill all our foes,
With reliquary howling,
We're faster than light,
Faster than light,
Relentless our ship
thunders out to a fight

 

If war old or new, 
We will fight nontheless,
with Lotus now gone,
we will fight even more,
of tears are stained our faces,
to get her back to us,
yes back to us,
so we can again feel,
her motherly touch.

Our mother be the mimic queen,

3 hearts a broken Trinity,

We fly to seek among her kind,

But whose heart shall we meet.

 

Margulis, Natah, Lotus too,

3 names one soul, we sail to you,

They cut her ties and broke her mind,

Lurking in an ancient fleet.

 

We love her, hate her feel betrayed,

In her head deadly games were played,

The old gods kept us all in chains,

Must we still fight their war?

 

Did she truly love us then?

A lie? A dream? A cruel weapon?

Or were we silly lost children?

Crying whilst asleep.

 

So rise Margulis’ chosen ones,

We’ll barge through crewships, Sail through sun's,

Our ancient masters may be gone,

Their chains they bind us no more.

 

Oh, grab your rail jack, Man the guns,

Natah’s Daughters, the Lotus sons,

Power Archwing, fly Warframe,

This new War must be won.

One's tale

Oooh The Great Randy was a ship o' bloody tears ! when we went for the sea, to see some Corpus flee ! Space the betrayer turned his back on us !  

HEY TOGETHER BOYS, LALALALA ! TOGETHER BOYS LALALALA ! 

Swimming out the Noi-Gus ! Smooth wave rounds beneath us , yet the land is ahead! Bangers order us to flails! First blow broke the sails! 'Cause the dang mast was rotting 'way! 

HEY TOGETHER BOYS, LALALALA ! TOGETHER BOYS LALALALA ! 

Early lunch consumed , now we're out to move ! New wood the carpenter gave ! To Build new shaft ordered we were to ! Face direction the enemy is !  HEY !  Turn to the right ! fire all the pipes! Kuva 'bout to turn mine !

HEY TOGETHER BOYS, LALALALA ! TOGETHER BOYS LALALALA ! 

People of Cetus send the mail , perhaps get it we may , The Void shady is , safety nowhere to be seen!  Pray for your mundane life! Ready your heat-y knife!

HEY TOGETHER BOYS, LALALALA ! TOGETHER BOYS LALALALA !  

Cap'n Raker is a dog's son ! If a task is assigned , you better complete it on time! A fancy joke was done! Now he bites the dust with his electron gun!

HEY TOGETHER BOYS, LALALALA ! TOGETHER BOYS LALALALA !  

If the content of this story , moved yer heart inches few , if ya don't lack in manners good , leave a jar o' chimmur !   Singing dries the throat , And a dry throat is no bold!

(Chorus)

Yooooooo Hoooooooo, squad and tenno,

Lift your multi-tools high,

Secure the ship and refine the wine,

And never let the rail jack die,

 

Yooooooo Hoooooooo, sentients and grineer,

Be sure to pray to your gods,

For when we board, your ships and fighters,

Ever shall you die.

 

My own words but put to the tune of a sea shanty from one of the pirates movies. I know its short but its sweet, perfect for chanting over and over. Good luck to all!

Aha me hearties splice the jib and sail the seas of space

No Corpus Grineer or Sentient will drive us from this place!

Man the  guns and slingshot, beware the ram sled teams

Put out that fire! Seal that breech! Prepare the galvark beams!

Blow the crewship, steal the loot, there's wreckage here for all

Smash the crystal, heal the fallen, together heed the call!

Home to drydock safe and sound we conquering heroes go

 But then me hearties: ramming speed! And back to space! Yo-ho!

Our 'jack is a jolly vessel
Those space clones she'll wrestle
So send out your Archwing
Keep those cannons reloading

Keep guns at the ready
When Grineer come aboard
And send out our own raider
To bring home their hoard

No vessel is finer 
Hunting enemies and gold
So patch up that hull breach
Before we explode

Our 'jack is a jolly vessel
Those space clones she'll wrestle
So send out your Archwing
Keep those cannons reloading

The Corpus love credits
Grineer prize a fight
Infested are monsters
Tenno fight for what's right

When you get right down to it
One phrase says it all
Time flies when you're flying
And space brawls are a ball

Our 'jack is a jolly vessel
Those space clones she'll wrestle
So send out your Archwing
Keep those cannons reloading

Starsailors

Let glory be our engines
Let justice be our prime
May freedom be our compass
As we sail through the stars

Where is the light guiding us from the cosmos?
Embracing the chaos, adrift in the stars
Mysteries of our past and future are wondrous
Treasures we find between old and new wars

Vastness in rails, enthralls me in chaos
Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune or Mars
We guide our ship, invading the veil
We long to be found, so we shall then be lost

Let glory be our engines
Let justice be our prime
May freedom be our compass
As we sail through the stars

Where is our mother? Where should we go?
We learn to expect even Lotuses have thorns
We farm and we sing and we fight and we dream
We are navigators, we're Kings and we're Queens

To the haul, warriors! Minstrels and gunners
Tacticians and runners of the hyperspace
Hunting the jewels on a desert of stardust
Bless us, oh mother, in our pilgrimage

Let glory be our engines
Let justice be our prime
May freedom be our compass
As we sail through the stars

Adding my name as autor and correcting the word "invading". English is not my first language, sorry :p

We go, with a heart as heavy, as a frame.
Through the dark and the cold, we ride this home, of the tenno who died before thee.
To the veil we head, thru proxima's bed, and a clue to the
Test we must best.
For the war rages on, and we promised someone, that we would not rest, till mother's breast.
where we vow to divest, the sentient breed who infest.

Is there enough space... Is there enough space... Is there enough space... Is there enough space for us? We fought for centurys ago to free us from the golden hands. With power enough to destroy ourselves, cursed by our mom. We will expand your mind... We will expand your mind... And spare you

from our fate. And spare you from our pain...

This world is cursed with blood of our glory!
The vicious of Sentients is nightmare for lonely!
Yet we bravely react as heroes of space!
We defend those who cannot defend themselves!

This world is cursed with blood of our glory!
We seek the treasure and stories of fallen!
We seek all we want cause all that is left!
Is fight for what's right, that's our might!

We have seen things which haunts your dreams!
We follow as heroes cause all that is left!
Is pain and cries of lost comrades!
We can not let that happen again!

The railjack is close to our hearts!
This ship is a home for our minds!
Cannons are melody to our ears!
We won't rest until, we put them in dream!

The void calls, void calls...
We do what is right, what is right...
We seek a challange, seek a challange...
We do what is right that's tenno's might!

Grinner Hunting Shanty
 

Oh when I was a young Tenno

I never thought I’d be amazed,

When I lay the Gavel down on Grinner all day!

But I heard my teammates say a sweet tune

As we gain our boon...

 

Get these violent clones out of our face

As we lay their bodies all over the place!

They will not see what comes at all!

As we disarm and gore their bodies like ragdolls!

 

Watch out the Tenno are coming!

Watch out the Warframes are strumming!

The Kavats, the Kubrow, and the Moa are running

Coming after those violent clone heads!

 

Watch out the Tenno are coming!

Watch out the Warframes are strumming!

The Kavats, the Kubrow, and the Moa are running

Coming after those violent clone heads!


Then it’s time to party up

With our Railjack suited and all.

As we fly in our Archwings

Right into their HUULLLLS!

 

Watch out the Tenno are coming!

Watch out the Warframes are strumming!

The Kavats, the Kubrow, and the Moa are running

Coming after those violent clone heads!

 

Watch out the Tenno are coming!

Watch out the Warframes are strumming!

The Kavats, the Kubrow, and the Moa are running

Coming after those violent clone heads!

Avast ye, my crew mates and take up your arms,
We're about to set sail from the Dojo dockyard!
The rails primed for plunder, there's Corpus ahoy,
We'll line up our pockets and take from them, boys! 

We'll be known in each system both distant and near!
In our carousing, plundering, no good career!

We'll first hit up Saturn and fight the 'Ol boys,
I hear that they've got Cells and 'Tatoes ahoy! 
And once we're all souped up and OP as hell,
We'll kick Sargus' teeth in and go drink some ale! 

We'll be known in each system both distant and near!
In our carousing, plundering, no good career!

Next we'll try Neptune and Pluto ahoy,
We plundered Uranus a bit much, my boys! 
The Corpus are lazy and fat and dandy,
So we'll lighten their load and free all that money!

We'll be known in each system both distant and near!
In our carousing, plundering, no good career!

We've angered each faction, including our own,
Me thinks we been just a wee bit tad too bold!
Let's treasure our plunder and treasure our hides,
And book it back home before they've broad our side!

We'll be known in each system both distant and near!
In our carousing, plundering, no good career!

Oh, the beginning of this adventure!

At first it's a god sent to the Tenno,

But anything new will surely be broken,

This is Warframe, after all.

 

Oh, how many of us stay up to grind and grind.

To titanium giving very little,

To Shedu to never dropping but comes out with something else,

But again this is Warframe.

 

Oh my am I ranting?

To the game we find joy in,

For our "Mother" to abandon us,

Much like our farthers, am I right boys.

 

Tis a shame this game some flaws,

But overall its very good, to "sail" in space like in Sea of Thieves,

Without  plundering on others I hope we see,

But who still remembers the pvp thing that was well... Probably forgotten. 

 

Well this my last stanza,

Even tho this supposed to be a shanty,

Hopefully I don't win for my jumbled mess,

So farwell to those who reads this,

While I'll watch Naruto that reminds of this.

Yo, im fully too lazy to do this but if one of y'all can make a Railjack Shaty set to the tune of the Canadian folk song 'Barrets Privateers' I will love you forever.

I thought about doing that actually, but the tune I used had been stuck in my head for a few days, so I figured now was the time.

I like the way you play.
You do it like passe.
I like the way you eat.
You do it like a gamete.
I like the way you snooze.
Defuse.

You find so many frames are far too hasty
But you are simply tasty

I love the way you have no hair,
Spreading your style everywhere.
You're like a style fountain.
Enough zazz for a whole mountain.

You find so many frames are far too hasty
But you are simply tasty

PORT ON LUA

 

One night in the port we best not tarry

EVERYONE: Bosun come ashore and whisk me away!

Company and jug make jest and merry

EVERYONE: Holler "All aboard" and whisk me away!

Where the fortune leads and rails guide us;

Serendipity sails just beside us;                         

Camaraderie and spoils unite us. (1-2 sec pause)

Chorus--EVERYONE: Yo ho ho into the Veil we go

.                                   Destination only Captain knows

.                                   Relays awaiting whats stowed below

Love awaiting me in port on Lua

EVERYONE: Enemy assailed and whisked it away!

Be no doubt in me what's left to do ('ah)

EVERYONE: Power up engines and whisk me away!

On the tail of all they what took our kin;

No quailing away from the void within;

Through the rail and gale we-go once again!

(pause & Chorus again)

Jack has got a breach and cannons empty; 

EVERYONE: Aim the catapult and whisk me away!

Treasure out of reach that remains tempting. 

EVERYONE: Holler "All Aboard" and whisk me away!

Patches be setting, time to raise crew up

Leaving regretting, past time we flew ('uh)

Never forgetting that Port on Lua

(Pause & Chorus again)

 

*Verse based loosely on tune "The Lonely Goatherd" from Sound of music in key of D with accordion and hollow cask drum in Verse, drum & voice only in Chorus* I didnt realize how close the verse tempo and gait was to that song until 3/4 through. I personally hear it being sung in a rolling Irish brogue.

In the void of space we set to sail,
Bringing the light of justice to those who wail.
In the darkness of the void we bare,
The wings of light that we share,
For those whom to save,
We are there stout and brave!
Off we go given our fate,
We lift the burden of those,
Who need the touch of light!

We fly to end the tyranny of the vile,
Here to lift the darkened veil,
But we are those who show no hate,
For those who hate only bring more of their own.

In the void of space we set to sail,
Bringing the light of justice to those who wail.
In the darkness of the void we bare,
The wings of light that we share,
We are stout!
We are brave!
We are there To SAVE!

All Grineer want to conquer!
All Infested are there to kill!
Corpus only seek the greed of wealth!
Tenno. Oh, Tenno,
 Please be there to say,
We are here to Defend,
The meek and the weak!
We are here to Stay!

In the void of space we set to sail,
Bringing the light of justice to those who wail.
In the darkness of the void we bare,
The wings of light that we share,
For those whom to save,
We are there stout and brave!
Off we go given our fate,
We lift the burden of those,
Who need the touch of light!
