Shai Hulud

Shai Hulud, send me a great worm, send me the courage to ride it well

Shai Hulud, send me way to change the nightmare that Spice foretells

Shai Hulud, give me a new way, and vengeance for all who died

Shai Hulud, give me worm to ride

My homeworld was a water dream that I had left behind

Arrakis and the Spice had filled the corners of my mind

My mother was beside me, Father's ring was in my hand

I started up the drumming and we crossed the desert sand

I learned the ways of Fremen, and I taught them mine as well

We trained an army twice as fierce as any spawned in Hell

I had to prove my manhood if I wished to hold command

So I started up the drumming and I waited, hook in hand

Shai Hulud, send me a great worm, send me the courage to ride it well

Shai Hulud, send me way to change the nightmare that Spice foretells

Shai Hulud, give me a new way, and vengeance for all who died

Shai Hulud, give me worm to ride

I've drunk the Maker's waters, and I've searched each future path

And nothing in those visions can prevent the days of wrath

So I gather up the army for a final bloody stand

And we start the thumper drumming, and we ride across the sand

The tales and songs will live beyond the ending of my days

But all that I have felt and loved will pass too soon away

I'll walk into my future knowing every step by heart

And none will ever guess how much I dread to play my part

Shai Hulud, send me a great worm, send me the courage to ride it well

Shai Hulud, send me way to change the nightmare that Spice foretells

Shai Hulud, give me a new way, and vengeance for all who died

Shai Hulud, give me worm to ride
