so i just discovered a passage in frank herbert's Dune

[agony bagony]

that Kerry King stole & made minor changes to for the pre-solo lyrics in Hell Awaits



Dune (1965)

Full moon calls thee--

Shai-hulud shalt thou see;

Red the night, dusky sky,

Bloody death didst thou die.

We pray to a moon: she is round--

Luck with us will then abound

What we seek for shall be found

In the land of solid ground.



(p. 315, ACE paperback edition)



Hell Awaits (1985)

Pray to the moon...when it's round

Death with you shall then abound

For what you seek for can't be found

In sea or sky or underground

The movie was on once, and I didn't make the mistake of watching more than ten minutes of it. I trust the book is worthy.



Also, I'm rather a bit surprised that Kerry King read Dune. Or anything.

”Arrakis teaches the attitude of the knife—chopping off what's incomplete and saying: 'Now, it's complete because it's ended here.'”
