Shai Hulud Lyrics

[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
