The Harkonnen Conscript

They took me from Giedi Prime,
From world, from city, friends, and family.
They sent me to this land that's torn by storms of wind and sand
For no reason I could see,
That I could see.

To fight against Atreides,
A House who'd never harmed me that I knew.
My only work: to kill, and on Dune's sand their blood to spill
Who would try to kill me too,
To kill me too.

They mingled us with Sardaukar,
The Emperor's fighting demons all men fear.
Deceitfully they bore Harkonnen colors that we wore,
Likewise all their other gear,
Their other gear.

Beneath the hot and choking sands
Lurk worms more deadly than the fiercest foe;
Atreides before, and right behind us Sardaukar--
Which I fear most I don't know,
I do not know.
