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
