They say it's the glory,
They'll all scream your name,
They put you on shoulders,
And walk you to fame,
You'll get all the money,
Drive them fancy cars
All the people love you,
'Cause you're going far,
Life is for the dreamers,
'Cause they have all to gain,
It's never quite over,
'Til it all feels the same,
You pick your own poison,
Dig your own grave,
Down in the valley,
Of fortune and pain,
Of fortune and pain,
So pour me another,
And roll me a bone,
'Cause when it all over,
You're all on your own,
And all my friends are dying,
And all i feel is pain,
Sitting here broken,
Never dreamed it this way,
Come down the mountain,
Watched it slip away,
Down to the valley,
Of fortune and pain,
Of fortune and pain,
I remember like yesterday,
Then its gone away,
It's taken me over,
'Til theres nothing to say,
The trophies and boxes,
Metals on the wall,
Memories of a dreamer,
They beckon the call,
Life gave 'em service,
And placed under name,
Buried in the valley,
Of fortune and pain,
Of fortune and pain
Of fortune and pain,
Of fortune and pain.
