TRUST IN THE RUST (WAR RITE VERSION)

EvE Online - Minmatar Faction Lyrics [Intro – low war drums, distant throat chant] Dum… dum… dum-dum… [Chant low, unison] Ka–ra. Ka–ra. Ka–ra. Scrap remembers. Fire listens. [Verse 1 – spoken, rhythmic, breathy] Born in iron. Raised in smoke. Hands cut raw on broken hope. Chains fell hard. We stood fast. Learned to fly from shattered past. [Throat Chant – rising] Hrrr–ka. Hrrr–ka. Hrrr–ka–RA! [Pre-Chorus – stomp + drum hits] Gold bends. Circuits fail. Paint peels off the coward’s tale. [Whispered call] What holds? [Response – deep chant] RUST HOLDS. [Chorus – full ritual chant] TRUST! (TRUST!) IN! (IN!) THE! (THE!) RUST! (RUST!) Chant (pulsing): Rust in bone. Rust in steel. Rust is what we know is real. TRUST! (TRUST!) IN! (IN!) THE! (THE!) RUST! (RUST!) No polish. No crown. We stay flying falling down. [Verse 2 – faster, breath-driven] Autocannon cough — no prayer, Just will and shrapnel in the air. Cap dry. Armor thin. Still we push and still we win. [Throat Chant – call & response] HRA! (HRA!) KOR! (KOR!) HRA! (HRA!) KOR! (KOR!) [Pre-Chorus 2 – growled] Laugh at rust. Mock the frame. Say our ships should feel ashamed. [Call – low] What flies? [Response – loud] SCRAP FLIES. [Chorus – heavier, drums double] TRUST! (TRUST!) IN! (IN!) THE! (THE!) RUST! (RUST!) [Group Chant] Bent but burning. Scarred but true. Every plate held on by you. TRUST! (TRUST!) IN! (IN!) THE! (THE!) RUST! (RUST!) If it shakes — It lives. [Bridge – ritual breakdown] [Drums stop. Foot stomps only.] [Stomp Chant:] SCRAP! (SCRAP!) SPEED! (SPEED!) FIRE! (FIRE!) BLEED! (BLEED!) [Throat Chant – rolling, primal:] Grrr–ha… grrr–ha… Raa–kor… raa–kor… [Spoken, reverent:] We do not ask machines to save us. We make them endure. [Verse 3 – slow, ceremonial] Every hull a story cut, Names carved deep in scorched-out rust. Freedom loud and ugly born, From shattered chains and endless war. [Call – quiet] What do we trust? [Response – thunderous] THE RUST. [Final Chorus – full tribe, relentless] TRUST! (TRUST!) IN! (IN!) THE! (THE!) RUST! (RUST!) [All Voices:] No gods. No masters. Only scars and engine laughter. TRUST! (TRUST!) IN! (IN!) THE! (THE!) RUST! (RUST!) Gold breaks. Rust remains. [Outro – fading chant + drums] Ka–ra… Ka–ra… Ka–ra… Trust… in… the rust… Undock as one.
