Lyrics: 
Be it work or be it rite? 
Father, tell me 
Brings us to the mountainside 
Every day a dying day 
Be it work or be it rite 
Oh my sweet babe 
We come to make a sacrifice 
Every day a dying day 

Be it ox or be it ram? 
Father, tell me 
Please the god of Abraham 
Every day a dying day 
Be it ox or be it ram 
Oh my sweet babe 
It is the blood of the innocent 
Every day a dying day 

And who are you to understand 
The ways of him who holds the blade? 
And who are you to stay the hand 
Of him who made you? 

Be it ill or be it good? 
Father, tell me 
Makes you bind me hand and foot 
Every day a dying day 
Be it ill or be it good 
Oh my sweet babe 
I am doing as I should 
Every day a dying day x3
