[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 pa** 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
