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
