What is the function of the repetition of "awake"?

Judges 5:12 (ESV)

12 “Awake, awake, Deborah! Awake, awake, break out in a song! Arise, Barak, lead away your captives, O son of Abinoam.

This imperative is not a call to awake from sleep but a summons to rise for action, namely, the action of breaking out in song.
