Wake Up, Tenno

Warframe · Tenno

The story in the song

Wake Up, Tenno is an original Warframe-inspired cinematic sci-fi rock duet about the moment a Tenno returns to the Origin System.

Lotus is the calm signal in the dark. The awakened Tenno answers with blade, gun, motion, and fire while Grineer iron, Corpus gold, and Infested hunger close in from every side.

Lyrics

Wake up, Tenno The stars remember your name Wake up, Tenno The system is calling again I rise from silence With dust on my frame A blade in the dark And a spark in my veins Steel in the forest, smoke in the rain Grineer war drums are calling my name Hands on a weapon I do not understand But it answers like thunder inside my hands I was asleep while the old worlds burned Now every scar is a lesson learned One step forward, one shot through fear The voice in the static says, "Tenno, I am here" Do not be afraid of the shape you wear Move like a shadow through fire and air Slide through the bullets, leap through the sky The first step forward is learning to fly Choose your weapon, choose who you'll be A storm, a blade, a silent enemy Across the stars, through the endless night You are the spark that returns the light Grineer iron on every door Corpus gold wants a little more Infested hunger under the floor But you were made to rise You were made for war Wake up, Tenno Rise through the fire Blade like a comet, heart like a wire Wake up, Tenno Answer the call Leap from the ruins and stand through it all Through Grineer iron and Corpus gold No chain can hold what the Lotus awoke Wake up, Tenno Stars in your hands Carve your path through the Origin System Run like light Strike like thunder We do not fall We awaken I learned to move where the bullets bend To cut through fear, then rise again Every mission writes into my bones No warrior wakes to fight alone Your arsenal sings in a language of sparks Your shadow is sharp, but it carries a heart The system is broken, but not beyond grace One Tenno can change what an empire made They built their thrones out of metal and lies They sold the sun and divided the skies They crawl from the dark where the dead things breathe Then cut through the dark And remember to breathe Wake up, Tenno Rise through the fire Blade like a comet, heart like a wire Wake up, Tenno Answer the call Leap from the ruins and stand through it all Through Grineer iron and Corpus gold No chain can hold what the Lotus awoke Wake up, Tenno Stars in your hands Carve your path through the Origin System What am I now, if I was made for war? More than a weapon, and more than before What if I fail when the shadows descend? Then rise with your squad and begin again I hear the system screaming my name Then answer with motion, with steel, with flame We are the silence before the strike We are the spark in the endless night Grineer Corpus Infested Fall One by one, we answer the call Blade and gun Shadow and light Tenno awake in the heart of the fight Wake up, Tenno Rise through the fire Blade like a comet, heart like a wire Wake up, Tenno Answer the call Leap from the ruins and stand through it all Through Grineer iron and Corpus gold No chain can hold what the Lotus awoke Wake up, Tenno Stars in your hands Carve your path through the Origin System Wake up, Tenno Run through the storm No empire decides what a warrior is for Wake up, Tenno The night is not done But we are the blades that return with the sun Wake up, Tenno The stars remember your name I rise from silence And I will not sleep again Wake up, Tenno The system is calling again
