Shai Hulud -

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
