Sky Shanties!
Dr Pantaleon:
Muse just posted two magnificent Sky shanties on their facebook page! I decided to make a dedicated post for them and I also tried to write down the lyrics.
Take to the Skies
Performed by Jacob Burgess and produced and orchestrated by Devin Vibert

Take to the skies, me hearties, me hearties
Take to the skies, to the white above!
Take to the skies, me hearties, me hearties
Look for him no more, his love.
He took to the skies, me hearties, me hearties
He took to the skies her sweet, dear heart
He took to the skies, me hearties, me hearties
In that life, she'll never take part
Take to the skies, me hearties, me hearties
Take to the skies, in this age of air
Take to the skies, me hearties, me hearties
The freedom, the glory, nothing compares
He took to the skies, me hearties, me hearties
He took to the skies in a ship so strong
He took to the skies, me hearties, me hearties
Sky, rope and sail knot can never go wrong
He travels the skies, me hearties, me hearties
He travels the skies, to be some captains fodder
He travels the skies, me hearties, me hearties
And there she stays, a poor tanner's daughter
Take to the skies, me hearties, me hearties
Take to the skies, in this age of air
Take to the skies, me hearties, me hearties
The freedom, the glory, nothing compares
They fight in the skies, me hearties, me hearties
They fight in the skies, oh blast down these cursed
They fight in the skies, me hearties, me hearties
They are defeated, his last thoughts of her
Take to the skies, me hearties, me hearties
Take to the skies, do this tale do you hark?
Take to the skies, me hearties, me hearties
A new fire burns, it takes but a spark
She looks to the skies, me hearties, me hearties
She looks to the skies, and her father's ark
She looks to the skies, me hearties, me hearties
What has she now to mend her heart?
He roams in the skies, me hearties, me hearties
He roams in the skies, oh grave prize he paid
He roams in the skies, me hearties, me hearties
He'd the best of intent, now she loves but a shade.
The call of the skies, me hearties, me hearties
The call of the skies, tis there shall she rise
The call of the skies, me hearties, me hearties
Rage curled in her gut she takes to the skies
Follow her to the skies, me hearties, me hearties
Follow her to the skies, or grew faint have they heard
Follow her to the skies, me hearties, me hearties
The devil on their heel, she'll see them burn
Take to the skies, for people, for country
Take to the skies, for passion or fame
Take to the skies, for freedom or glory
No matter the reason, it amounts to the same
Take to the skies, me hearties, me hearties
Take to the skies, in this age of air
Take to the skies, me hearties, me hearties
The freedom, the glory, nothing compares

Air Shanty (aka Spot the Skies)

Engies top deck, gunner right
Fire straight, boys, don't lose sight
Allies hear we're moving in
Let's hope they don't give up the fight.
Engies running, hitting, gunning
Captains calling, yelling, balling
Round the deck, boys, round we go
Far above the ground below
Lesmok in the Lumberjack
Nothing you can do now don't look back
Burn the engines straight ahead
Ram that Goldfish in the red
Engies running, hitting, gunning
Captains calling, yelling, balling
Round the deck, boys, round we go
Far above the ground below
First the Gatling then the Mortar
Nothing's faster than that order
No one's following the captain's orders
Fire those Greased Rounds faster
Engies running, hitting, gunning
Captains calling, yelling, balling
Round the deck, boys, round we go
Far above the ground below
Flaming left then flaming right
Ships can't get out of its sights
Speediest beast in all the skies
Nothing's glassy as Squid's eyes
Engies running, hitting, gunning
Captains calling, yelling, balling
Round the deck, boys, round we go
Far above the ground below
Canyons tall, the battle's on
Can not see out of this damn fog
Drums are beating in my ears
Where the hell did they go
Engies running, hitting, gunning
Captains calling, yelling, balling
Round the deck, boys, round we go
Far above the ground below
Hero flying in the rear
Galleon's turning so I hear
Nothing you can greater fear
Than a full Hwacha volley
Engies running, hitting, gunning
Captains calling, yelling, balling
Round the deck, boys, round we go
Far above the ground below
Ally's gone, we're all alone
The Spire's sniping, aruah
Kept him off us long enough
Ready for our last hurrah
Engies running, hitting, gunning
Captains calling, yelling, balling
Round the deck, boys, round we go
Far above the ground below
Engies running, hitting, gunning
Captains calling, yelling, balling
Spot the skies, boys, use your eyes
The ground is rising as we die
These lyrics probably aren't perfect, but it's the best I could do. If someone spots a mistake, please tell me!
Now, lets try to spread these songs through the entire community! I want the entire crew to pitch in if I start singing this.
