    "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.

lyrics

Chapter VII:

Dream Within a Dream

The crooked walls
Of this cafe
Peel away
Like veins on an ol' oak tree

It's branches
Claw at my restless spirit
A spotted mirror
Reveals the face that I fear

Been workin' this juke joint
For many a year
Time and again
It never fails
To produce a tear

And you'll find yourself
Weeping at the moon
That some miracle
Will happen upon this tomb

Then you'll find yourself
In an empty room

Where there's no way out
No way out
Even in your dreams

No way out
No way out
Like a steady conscious stream

Past dreams
Haunt my bed at night
And breathe
On the scars
Of my heart

I pray heavenly Father
Why have you forgotten this place?
Where the soulless
Stand above mass graves

Walls get dustier
And grimier every day

When there's no way out
No way out
Even in your dreams

No way out
No way out
Like a steady conscious stream

You may sing praises
To the restless sun
Say prayers to the desert wind

But always
Arrive back here
A flat circle
Time and again

And you'll find yourself
Weeping to the moon
That the darkness
Caresses you soon

So you can start again
Another life

Where there's no way out
No way out
Even in your dreams

No way out
No way out
Like a steady conscious stream

No way out
No way out
Even in your dreams

No way out
No way out
Like a slow drying stream
