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
