Old Father Eternity - Golem

Aeons before man reached space

He has ploughed the sand

On a water-starved world

He is the waste land’s god

Oh mighty Shai-hulud

Grandfather of the desert

Where no water hurts

He has mastered the dunes

Producing the unique spice

He is the last great secret

Oh mighty Shai-hulud

Provider of travel

His cresting head, His high curving back

Like the approach of a mountain

He is the ultimate challenge

His law is always blind

His appearance, imposing and great

Mysterious and powerful

Of unknown age and ancestry

His origin veiled by the timeless dust

The defence of His territory

A mortal threat for the untrained

Riding Him, a ritual test

Among the fremen people

War and battle mean nothing to Him

Historical changes, He remains the one

Earth-deity and feared beast

The eternal flame inside

Oh mighty Shai-hulud

Keeper of balance

Bless the Maker and His water

Bless the coming and going of Him

May His passage cleanse the world

May He keep the world for His people

Oh mighty Shai-hulud

Old father eternity, …unique in universe
