A Banquet For Traitors Lyrics - Singles - Oh, Sleeper

So far from clean, I'm undeserving of the strength 

The strength in Your arms used to save me 

But years passed when I saw Eve next to me 

She's wrapped in low cut, dripping sensuality 

I remember the host 

But it's been so long since we spoke 

My son, you can hold perfection 

In your arms if you wish 

But I sit at a banquet for traitors 

Placed here between a thief and a liar 

Just run and hold perfection 

In your arms as I slip 

But I'll make you the God of a liar 

'Cause I've been both a saint and a viper 

I'll make you the God of a liar 

I am a lie, just like the traitors 

That cry for forgiving replies 

But keep their grips held tight 

Though my eye's on Eve 

You're ready to bleed as if I'm royalty 

But I am no king, I am no king 

His life spilled like a tide so divine 

It was a blood soaked feast that never ceased 

As his veins dripped empty 

With such violent grace the waves hit my face 

And in painful clarity I turned fearfully 

What makes you think you can deserve me? 

What makes you think you can deserve me? 

My host fell to his knees as paling lips pushed his plea 

My son, you can hold perfection 

In your arms if you wish 

But I sit at a banquet for traitors 

Placed here between a thief and a liar 

Just run and hold perfection 

In your arms as I slip 

But I'll make you the God of a liar 

'Cause I've been both a saint and a viper 

By grace uneven at the banquet portrayed 

Through death this life is saved 

I am no king, I am no 

Open your eyes, child, your sea is changing
