"It Don't Come Easy" lyrics

One, two
One, two, three

Into problematical darkness
Of an arcane world I rode
On the back of a worm called "Icondeath"
As it had been foretold

Where the lava flows over the plains
Austere with heat and black
A valley of the bones
Where people go
And don't come back

Oh my God
Oh my God
Oh my God
It don't come easy

I said, "Wizard, you be kind now
I'm in need of some advice
And talk no speak of majick blood
Or good-son sacrifice."

And I begged to know if justice
were a form far-out or in
He said, "Son, there is no justice
There's just what
And that just is."

Oh my God
Oh my God
Oh my God
It don't come easy

At the marketplace of souls
I gave my only silver piece
And I traded it for a mania
Chemical urgency
And then I staggered into ergs
Where the wind blows without relent
And I still don't know what living cost
But I can tell you what I spent

Oh my God
Oh my God
Oh my God
It don't come easy

Weren't it you who pierced the dragon?
Weren't it you who led us out
Of a land so damn oppressive
Against hope and with great doubt?
Did we not amble out of Egypt
Into a wilderness so dry?
Weren't there graves enough in Memphis
That we've been brought here to die?

Oh my God
Oh my God
Oh my God
It don't come easy

Oh my God
Oh my God
Oh my God
God, go easy
