    "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 V: Into Chaos
Are you now resolved to the pandemonium that has been caste upon your reality?

lyrics

Chapter XI:
Killing Fields

There is a void
A black hole
That sucks the flesh
Off unwilling girls
It scythes 'em down
One by one
'Midst foreplayed fear
Sadistic fun

Where swamplands conspire
To keep murder silent
It's mesquite jaws
Devour the innocent

Lie human bones
Without their meat
How can an animal
Have socks on it's feet?

There's a void 'neath the freeway
That rips the flesh
Off wayward girls
It scythes 'em down
One by one
'Midst foreplayed fear
Sadistic fun

Beside the rumbling highway
Where beasts live
Hiding their greasy faces
Silently killing
The graying light
Emerged in marshes
In various places

The things that you
Hold so dear
Now escape you
Umbrellas of
Your families love
Vanished without a trace

'Neath a street light
A grimy gas station haunt

There is a void
A black hole
That sucks the flesh
Off unwilling girls
It scythes 'em down
One by one
'Midst foreplayed fear
Sadistic fun

You will wail all night
But you won't be heard
'Neath oil refineries gloom
Milk carton effigies
Of the missing herd
'Mongst the years
Of questioned doom

(Radio)
Life and death are the only truths
Good and evil?
Right and wrong?
We are all one step away from decency and that deranged abyss
One leap away from sanity into chaos
