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
