    "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.

Act II: Hauntings of the Bijou

Nightmares? Memories? Or Ghosts?...

lyrics

Well the Texas sun was blazing hot
Joe sat on a rock in the middle of mesquite
The desert winds hit hard
On his back and worn out feet
He loads his shotgun
1... 2... 3...

Well he rested the barrel on his knee
For the men who killed his wife Shelley
Her flowered dreams caste to a dreadful sea

To be married and buried
'Neath the birch tree

Her ghost stands in the door frame
Of a kitchen in a condemned house
He's tied them up one by one
As he catches the killers by surprise
The smell of alcohol and cigarettes
On their rotten breath
As they whimper and plead with petty lies
He longs to ease the burden of blood that is on his mind
1... 2... 3...

Their screams don't keep the wounds at bay
Her garden of roses in summer rays
Sky blue eyes light his way
Caressing golden hair in bails of hay
This will be his final day
1!

To be married and buried
'Neath the birch tree
