Lyrics:

Just because you dont speak the language
Doesnt mean that you cant understand
Just because you dont speak the language
Doesnt mean that you cant understand
The twist in the script of the insult
Scrawled on the back of your hand

Torn from the pages of scripture
Sprayed on the wall in the frays of a flag
Kisses forbidden on lips
And all of your fine clothes worn into rags

Tripwire, tripwire, tripwire, tripwire
Theres a tripwire
Tripwire, tripwire, tripwire

Dont open the door cause theyre coming
Dont open the door cause theyre here
Above theres an ominous humming
Below theres a murmur of prayer

Torn from the pages of scandal
Sprayed on a wall in the frays of the flag
Kisses forbidden on lips
and all of your fine clothes blown into rags

Tripwire, tripwire, tripwire, tripwire
Theres a tripwire
Tripwire, tripwire, tripwire

Theres a cross in the line, theres a circus
(Cross in the line, theres a circus)
Theres a voice that you might overhear (might overhear)
Theres a lens making the picture perfect
They say you have nothing to fear

Torn from the pages of pamphlets
Thrown in the air like confetti in church
Far, far away theres a target
And the sound of an army just starting to march

Tripwire, tripwire, tripwire, tripwire
Theres a tripwire
Tripwire, tripwire, tripwire

Just because I dont read the language
Doesnt mean that I'm blind to the threat
Though I thought there was more to forgiveness
Than all we conveniently forget

Torn from the pages of history
Repeated again and again and again
Youre either for or against us
And that is how the hatred begins

Tripwire, tripwire, tripwire, tripwire
Theres a tripwire (tripwire)
Tripwire, tripwire, tripwire

(Tripwire), tripwire, tripwire, tripwire
(Tripwire), tripwire, tripwire, tripwire
(Tripwire), tripwire, tripwire, tripwire
