Shai Hulud

[Chorus]
Shai Hulud, send me a great one
Send me the courage to ride it well
Shai Hulud, send me a way to change
The nightmare that Spice foretells
Shai Hulud, send me a new way
And vengeance for those who died
Shai Hulud, send me worm to ride

My homeworld was a water dream
That I had left behind
Arrakis and her Spice
Had filled the corners of my mind
My mother stood beside me
Father's ring was on my hand
When 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

[Chorus]
Shai Hulud, send me a great one
Send me the courage to ride it well
Shai Hulud, send me a way to change
The nightmare that Spice foretells
Shai Hulud, send me a new way
And vengeance for those who died
Shai Hulud, send me worm to ride

I've drunk the Maker's waters
And I've searched each future path
And nothing in my visions
Can prevent the days of wrath
So I gather up the army
For a final bloody stand
And we start the thumpers drumming
And we ride across the sand

The tales and songs will live beyond
The ending of my days
And all that I have felt and loved
Will pass too soon away
I walk into my future
Knowing every step by heart
And none will ever guess how much
I dread to play my part

[Chorus]
Shai Hulud, send me a great one
Send me the courage to ride it well
Shai Hulud, send me a way to change
The nightmare that Spice foretells
Shai Hulud, send me a new way
And vengeance for those who died
Shai Hulud, send me worm to ride
