[Verse]
Endlessly I'm counting the steps until my end
Keeping time with all the others who walk on this line
Marching towards some bigger and greater cause
Never wandering free, in this place where I sleep
I try to keep the pace
O'er in the wheel that keeps turning in my rusty cage
Yet there are those that slip so quietly underneath
Broken hearts, broken minds, they toil so ceaselessly
Fail to stand and perseverе
They fall so easily

[Chorus]
I'm moving through the badlands
Moving through thе dark times
(Move across the gray skies)
I'm taking back the heartache
Taking back the fever
Take back the deep sighs
Searching for the answers
Searching for the knowing
(The reason why)
I'd better keep my eyes on the skyline
(Keep my eyes on the skyline)

[Verse]
What bridges we've burned
(Burned, burned, burned, burned)
With our backs up against this wall
Hoping someone will come
And save us from our souls
No good can come
From these days of grief and from these days of woe
Heavy with burdens we stand
And weary we travel this road
[Chorus]
I'm moving through the badlands
Moving through the dark times
(Move across the gray skies)
I'm taking back the heartache
Taking back the fever
Take back the deep sighs
Searching for the answers
Searching for the knowing
(The reason why)
I'd better keep my eyes on the skyline
