about

A sequel to the previous track, 'Sisera's Mother' paints an unsettling sonic backdrop to the dramatically ironic hopes of a mother waiting around for her dead son to return home.

Read on, Judges 5: www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Judges+5&version=NIV (Judges 5: 28-30 provides the specific inspiration)

lyrics

Sisera's mother picturing the plunder
Sisera's mother obliviously musing aloud:
"A womb or two for every warrior"
"A dyed, many colored garment for my son"

Sisera's mother waiting by the window
Sisera's mother looking through the lattice, lamenting:
"Where is his chariot?"
"Why haven't I heard its clatter?"
