Hey, guys. This is Vercun bringing you another hopefully successful thread. This thread is for those who have...how do I say this...more poetic ways of expressing themselves. In this thread you will come up with a war song for either the Enclave or the Brotherhood of Steel. Your Battle hymn must be 3-4 lines long with 5-10 words on each. They don't have to be complete sentences but they have to clearly express what side it is for and the feelings and/or goals of that side. Be creative! Just nothing directly pulled from the game(s). Please be serious in this thread and nothing silly. Vercun out!

Here's a quick example of one:

We will keep America pure,

We will enslave any and all impurities.

Through the blood and the gore,

We are the all; We are the Enclave

It would be nice if we knew something about either side and why they are fighting, a little inspiration and whatnot...

.....Did you ever play Fallout 3??

No, but that would explain it i suppose.

Depends. Are we talking about the wimpy Fallout 3 BoS or the original Fallout 1 BoS?

Well I think the most appropriate battle hymn for the Enclave would be:

From the Shores of the Delaware,
To the Beaches of Normandy;
We fight our country's battles
In the air, on land, and sea;
Admiration of the nation, we're the finest ever seen;
You will find the streets are guarded;
By the Enclave's Combat teams!

*Hint....think Iwo Jima and the tune will come to you*

Hail Hail Hail soviet rus.....i mean the enclave we are not the america you love we killed your dad we destoryed all he worked on ALL HAIL CHANG i mean THE ENCLAVE!

Why do I get that nagging feeling of 'could someone do mah homework?-thread' when reading those lines? :huh:

At any rate, I don't have much in the ways of rhytmn or soul and certainly can't carry a tune, so I'll be hiding out from Old Man Trouble.

Brotherhood of Steel rocks! But I am not a songsmith. I'll get the hubby to write one when he awakes .. he is the Fall Out player in the family anyway. I just watch and redecorate 10 penny.

"We're the Brotherhood
and we're okay,
we sleep all night
and we pwn all day" etc.

Paint the walls with blood!!!

Here's mine: ^_^
"The brotherhood standing gun by gun,
Marching mercylessly in the irradiated sun,
Looking for Enclave or Radioactive pest,
May our aim be true and we the best."

Perhaps this should go into Fallout 3 fanfic instead? Not sure it's general enough for discussion.

But here goes:

"In our land beyond the sea
Where the wild brahmin roam
We will fight for nation free
And the land we call home
From the highest of mountains
To the lowest of plain
We will stand...

Through the perils of the night
And the fires of the day
We will never quit the fight
And be victors one day
From the highest of mountains
To the lowest of plain
We will stand...
We will stand."

What did you mean by "pulled directly from the game"? I wasn't aware there were any hymns ingame already...

(The song was for the BoS, naturally - to the tune of the Morrowind Theme)

Is this a joke? The thread is for poetry not to flame Beth because you don't like the Bos.

I was thinking more along the lines of "The Beverly Hillbillies" especially in the last few lines.


Regardless here is one:

This thread is in Community Discussion,
But it is actually about fallout 3,
Now it is in the wrong section,
Seek the assistance of an M-O-D.

We are the Enclave
We have all the Tech
We find all the threats

We are all the Government
We Know what you want
We can deliver

We are the United States
We are your freinds
We are your family
We are your neighbor
We are your Enclave

We know what you want
We know what you need
We know what you are
We know what you have

We have your shelter
We have your food
We have your water
We have your safety

We are the Enclave
We have all the Tech
We find all the threats

Join us now
Join and win
Join the winning side
And make America one again.

(I'm not one for these but I had a spurt of the moment type of thing.)(LOL)

Enclave patrol going for a stroll,
Look! A random, innocent wastelander,

Enclave patrol sitting 'round the Vertibird,
Look! A random pile of green goo.


We are the Enclave,
Government of America,
We know what you want due to our conclave (I got stuck D; )
We are the Enclave...

Plasma Rifle locked and loaded,
Open fire on the Super-Mutant scum,
Oh look we've killed it, and I've just reloaded
Plasma Rifle loaded, aim at the innocents!

Here is the Enclave hymn, designed to be set to triumphant music:

We are the Enclave, protectors of the free
Murderous, unstable and paranoid are we
We'll gladly kill any civilian in our way
And if you mess with us you shall surely pay

We keep Deathclaws in cages to maim passers-by
We'll shoot you with glowy plasma 'til you die
Our goal is genocide and control and all that
And our officers wear some pretty nice hats

We are on the radio, for you to adore
Although the dialogue loops and the music is poor
You may yet get sick of your President's voice
But it's better than Three Dog's howling and white noise

So believe in our message of supremacy
We all have guns and we're bigger than you, see
Bring Mutants and Raiders, we'll blow them to hell
And show us your father, we'll kill him as well

By far, the perfect battle hymn for the good old USA:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zoAmJPNRWw4

US buildings blown away,
Nothing left but dust.
Here to make U.S.A,
A country to entrust.

Long live President Eden,
I give my life to thee.
All for the cause of freedom,
What do you need of me.

And when the storm clears,
And I look to the blue sky.
There will be now a thousand cheers,
The Enclave do or die.

We are the brotherhood of steel
polished armor reflectin' sun
makes us massive targets
yet we cannot even run

our commander he is ancient
he barely even moves
his daughter thinks she's gorgeous
but we've ne'er even seen her boobs

we stop evil at the speed of rust
our armor gets clogged by radioactive dust
Yaoi guai like to eat us
seem to think were shiny crabs

*some else that's clever but I have run out of words*

(this is what I get for listening to Kidnap The Sandy Claws)
