Desert
winds burn at my skin
Sands cut at my eyes
Spinning Corialis whirling
Day into the night
Al-lat glows through raging seas
Of desert dust and dune
Beyond the walls of Arrakis
The Jihad spells their doom
The god’s are smiling on our cause
Our hand shall smite them down
A child slays the Harkonnen beast
The Sardukar we surround
Arrakis, sweet desert land
Burn with fervor of vengeful man
Arrakis rule the universe
Green shall bloom, this sere desert
The Emperor’s ship is blasted clear
It fills with drifting sand
Static lightning flashes from the cloud
Frames Shaddam’s pointing hand
Out of the haze come shadowy shapes
Great curves with crystal spokes
From backs of worms come flashing blades
That kill with shining strokes
Keep your back to the door
Thufir warned the Muad-dib
The universe is filled with doors
Behind one death is hid
He has known billions and billions of lives
The pain and wisdom of his race
Burns blue within his eyes
He cannot deny his Fatilah
He must live it out to the end
He senses death by treachery
Betrayal by a friend
