Stake Through the Head Lyrics

Sisera was a Cananite whose death was kind of strange
He died by a tent stake driven through his brain
A curious casualty of an ancient Israeli war
Documented by the writer of Judges chapter four
His army was slaughtered but Sisera escaped
He ran to Jael's tent where he thought he'd be safe
She hid him under a rug and told him not to be afraid
She gave him some milk but later skewered his brain
Sisera is dead by a stake through his head
Sisera is dead by a stake through his head
In one temple and out the other side
That's how General Sisera died
And that's how he died
Sisera died, he died
Sisera is dead by a stake through his head
Sisera is dead by a stake through his head
Sisera got so tired that he couldn't stay awake
So Jael got a hammer and a sharp tent stake
She crept up quietly careful not to make a sound
Pounded the stake through his temples into the ground
Sisera is dead by a stake through his head
Sisera is dead by a stake through his head
In one temple and out the other side
That's how General Sisera died
And that's how he died
Sisera died, he died
Sisera is dead by a stake through his head
Sisera is dead by a stake through his head
Yes we know what went through his mind
Right before he died
And I bet he would've stayed awake
Had he known that his life was at stake
He's dead, he's dead, he's dead, he's dead
Sisera died by a stake through his head
