Cover art for A BANQUET FOR TRAITORS lyrics by Oh, Sleeper

i think its about Adam talking about how satan tricked him and eve. Adam says WHAT MAKES YOU THINK YOU CAN DESERVE ME?" yelling at satan saying im a servant of god why should i trust you satan is the host My host fell to His knees as paling lips pushed His plea..."My son, you can hold perfection in your arms if you wish." perfection is the apple or fruit of knowledge. the thief is Eve for stealing the apple. the liar Adam for lying to GOD about why they are hiding and clothed.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. this is Adamn talking about Jesus sacrificing himself on the cross. satan also says Though my eyes on Eve your ready to bleed as if Im royalty but I am no king. I am no king.because he isnt a king or royalty and they would throw it all away for greed"Just run and hold perfection in your arms as I slip... satan slithers away as a viper "but Ill make you the god of a liar - every thing satan says is a lie so when he tells adamn ill make you a god of a liar hes talking about himself (satan) Ive been both a saint and a viper.when satan says hes been a saint/angel also viper/snake the sea is changing means god cast out adam and eve from the garden and makes them mortal
