I think this song is about Satan's temptation of Adam and Eve. "The Host" of the song is God and how Adam tried to hide from him Eve was tempted to eat from the tree and he did as well. The line "My son, you can hold perfection in your arms if you wish" is Satan talking about how eating from the tree would make them Gods. Satan is the liar in the song and Eve is the thief for stealing from the tree. The second half of the song is more upbeat lyrically, with Adam being humbled and stating how he is not a king, and by God's grace he is still saved. That's what I get out of it anyway.
Makes sense, But I keep thinking that the host is that one who said, "You can hold perfection in your arms if you wish" because I can't find another "he" that it could refer to. That's what is stumping me. But maybe the host is Satan, since its a banquet of traitors. I thought that God was bringing traitors to Him as the host, but I think the host is Satan. I still think the host might also be God. Brain Hurt! I can see the perfection as an earthly lustful perfection and also a spiritual perfection. If it is...

If it is Satan telling him to obtain an earthly perfection, he is stating that he wants nothing to do with it, but I don't see this because he states "I am no king". I think maybe he's saying that he doesn't deserve perfection because he is unworthy and the Host is ready to bleed (the cross) as if he is royalty. And the speaking moment near the end is about him witnessing the sacrifice of his host, while his host is saying that he can't deserve Him. The whole "I'll make you a God of a liar is saying that since he is a liar, if God becomes his God, God will be ruling over him. Now that I think about it, the host has to be God.
