    "Delirium: A Southern Gothic Fable" is a five part tragedy that happens in the listener's mind. Delirium, the Devourer of Minds, is an entity who castes his spell upon the listener seeping their conscious slowly into insanity. Within the album are his twisted tomes of darkness on the subject of murder ballads, social injustice, desperation, and madness.

about

Act I: Swamp of Eternal Return

...now returned? From conception to the grave, do you really inquire and desire to lob your consciousness into this grisly stew again?...

lyrics

Chapter I?

Deep Dark Holes

Deep in The South
Where shadows tell lies
Each lonely stray
Cold and hard
A passerby

Screen doors slam
By light of full moon
Bleak wind blows
Through fresh cut lawns

Deep dark holes
Dug just for you
Deep dark holes
You could be one of them
Deep dark holes
Echo from the depths below

A creature slinks
From the trash of the countryside
It's nylon jacket
Stinks of cigarettes and engine oil

Deep dark holes
Dug just for you
Deep dark holes
You could be one of them
Deep dark holes...

'Tween the pines
Desperate screams and a wide open mouth
As they slip away
Washed ashore
Like tumbleweeds in dust

Souls haunt
The depths of the riverbed
Their rotten stain
A scar on the rural town

As her eyes
Go silent and dead
Her final moments
Married, secret
Play on in his head

Deep dark holes
Dug just for you
Deep dark holes
You could be one of them
Deep dark holes
Echo from the depths below

(Radio)
All alone he sits listening to the radio in an old Buick
Plotting his next dance of obscurum
Their shrill screams hidden somewhere beyond his wall of sleep
