The Song of the Sardaukar

March to the Guild spaceships
Disguised as Giedi Prime rams
The Emperor's words keep our minds fixed
And the Duke's blood will flow on the sands

Terror machine 
We born to kill
In Salusa Secundus, the prison of steal

By Corrino's word of law
We will conquer this god forsaken land
But first, the falcon goes to the ram
And to the worm his concubine and his son

Blast those heretics above the sand
Those who stole so many lives of ours
Powered by the will of the desert rat
And the knife child who threatens our powers

We fear no death, 
We feel no emotion,
Join the march of the Sardaukar
Our vengeance is in motion

We shall not survive
Victory or Death!!!
If we can´t kill the rat
We shall kill ourselves instead

We were once conquerors 
But our legacy fell too soon
Buried in this old spiced planet
Arrakis, also called Dune

Notes: I think this poem is not to everyone. You need to understand a lot about Frank Herbert's Dune. You may find it interesting even if you don't know the novel but all the magic of the poem is to understand those little details or hidden interpretations behind. This is also my first experience creating a poem related to a novel :)
Disclaimer: All names mentioned and related to Dune belong to Frank Herbert and his legacy, and were not created by me. I'll gain no money with this poem :)
