"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.

Chapter II:
Doppelgänger
As I look at these grainy pictures
I see a darkness in myself
A reflection on the bijou
Where murky water lies
Were I to have lived another life
Would I have been a killer
On an eeirie, ominous night?
I've met my doppelgänger
Before the morning light
A wild eyed man in a haunted cell
If I act like I seen a ghost
Sir, your mistaken
I seen the devil
In his long reptilian stare
Heaven knows she raised a creature
A beast with bat like wings
Cast the county in it's shadow
It breeds what bites
Leaves a path of dread in it's wake
It's pit of terror
Is this your fate?
Watch your back
Make no mistake
And if I act like I seen a ghost
Ma'm, you're mistaken
I seen the devil
In his long reptilian stare
'Till this day it chills my bones
Obsession hid behind a smile
The childlike innocence he wore as a mask
All alone in his locked room
Desires so starkly bizarre
Lust for power gone to extremes
He is the monster of your dreams
The unknown monster at the end of your dreams
As I look at these grainy pictures
I see a darkness in myself
A reflection on the bijou
Where murky water lies
