[Verse 1]
How can you speak when you don't understand?
How can you change what is altered?
How can you help when you won't reprimand?
And how can you save what has faltered?
[Chorus]
The beasts on the wing, let them fly
The world's in a spin, let them fly
And we can watch as they fall
And try not to notice at all
[Verse 2]
How can you share what you've already spent?
How can you care for the harmless?
How can you take when you have no consent?
We will never be charmed by the charmless
[Chorus]
The beasts on the wing, let them fly
The world's in a spin, let them fly
And we can watch as they fall
And try not to notice at all
[Verse 3]
How can you talk of the great and the good
When all that we hear is deceiving?
How can we find what you never could?
Oh, don't let us stop you from leaving
[Chorus]
The beasts on the wing, let them fly
The world's in a spin, let them fly
And we can watch as they fall
And try not to notice at all
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4]
How can you speak of damnation and fire
When all that we hear is misleading?
We all know you speak with the tongue of a liar
You will never be what we believe in
[Chorus]
The beasts on the wing, let them fly
The world's in a spin, let them fly
And we can watch as they fall
And try not to notice
And we can watch as they fall
And try not to notice at all
[Outro]
They will fall, fall, fall
