To Tame a Land Lyrics

He is the king of all the land
In the Kingdom of the sands
Of a time tomorrow

He rules the sandworms and the Fremen
In a land amongst the stars
Of an age tomorrow

He is destined to be a King
He rules over everything
On the land called planet Dune

Bodywater is your life
And without it you would die
On the desert the planet Dune

Without a stillsuit you would fry
On the sands so hot and dry
In a world called Arrakis

It is a land that's rich in spice
The sandriders and the "mice"
That they call the "Muad'Dib"

He is the Kwizatz Haderach
He is born of Caladan
And will take the Gom Jabbar
He has the power to foresee
Or to look into the past
He is the ruler of the stars

The time will come for him
To lay claim his crown
And then the foe
Yes, they'll be cut down

You'll see he'll be
The best that there's been
Messiah supreme
True leader of men

And when the time
For judgement's at hand
Don't fret, he's strong
And he'll make a stand

Against evil and fire
That spreads through the land
He has the power
To make it all end
