[Verse 1] Nine hundred iron chariots held the roads beneath their fear, Village life had emptied out and travelers disappeared. Beneath the palm sat Deborah, a prophet judging Israel, She called for Barak from Kedesh and told where Sisera would fall. [Pre-Chorus] Ten thousand climbed Mount Tabor, And the Kishon waited low. [Chorus] Rise, Deborah, rise and sing, The LORD has gone before the willing. Chariots sink where the river runs, Let those who love Him rise like the sun. [Verse 2] Barak would not go without her, so she walked beside the men, But honor for the final blow would rest upon a woman's hand. God broke Sisera's formation; he left iron wheels to flee, Jael drew him beneath her covering, then ended his command. [Bridge] Bless the tribes that came to battle, name the ones who stayed away, Stars fought high above the river, Kishon swept the host astray. Meroz heard the curse of silence, Jael heard the song of praise, While Sisera's mother watched the road and waited through the fading day. [Final Chorus] Rise, Deborah, rise and sing, The LORD has gone before the willing. Chariots sink where the river runs, Let those who love Him rise like the sun. [Outro] The iron wheels went silent, And the land had rest again.
