    "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

Written Passage:

A villainous web of lies
A lassie jaunts joyously into his garden trap
He devours her body within his teeth
Spits her soul out into a marionette
Where she dances for him

For eternity...

With large fixed smile...

On two soft feet...

lyrics

Chapter IX:

Sacrifice to the Beast

(Radio)

Are we really in control?
Somewhere deep inside
There's still that thing we all share
That somehow
We won't be okay
That the beast is out there
Ready to consume us

(Singing)
If these woods could speak
What a story they would tell
'Bout the children
Caste under his spell
They kept ol' Sylvia
Alone for day
Tied to an ol' oak tree
In the summer haze

Their crooked smiles
As they scream in ecstasy

Sacrifice to the beast
Pull a name out of the hat
Now you're gone
Where silver tongued devils
Lick away
Soft minds to...

Sacrifice to the beast
Gather those who've gone wrong
Where corrupt hands
Peel their way
To child like dreams

The bloody barrens
Where rotten children play
As the sun bakes on their dirty skin
In a circle
Doing naughty things
Cult personality
Gone insane

Whilst in control
Of a teenager with a lizard brain

Sacrifice to the beast
Pull a name out of the hat
Now you're gone
Where silver tongued devils
Lick away
Soft minds to...

Sacrifice to the beast
Gather those who've gone wrong
Where corrupt hands
Peel their way
To child like dreams

The only way
To please their hateful god
Is by beating
Upon soft hide
Brambling wood
Tell me no lie
Innocent fear
Takes 'em for a ride

Thin stinking body
In a swamp the day she died

Sacrifice to the beast
Pull a name out of the hat
Now you're gone
Where silver tongued devils
Lick away
Soft minds to...

Sacrifice to the beast
Gather those who've gone wrong
Where corrupt hands
Peel their way
To child like dreams
