Lyrics and translation

Original

One, two
One, two, babe
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 flowed 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 youw advice
And talk no speak of magick blood
And 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
In 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 livin' 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
