Chorus: 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 |
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 |
