The Scale of Evil
The Scale of Evil Lyrics
The Scale Of Evil
NOT EVIL
1. Justified Homicide
The least malevolent: Those who have killed in self-defense and do not show psychopathic features.
2. Jealous Lovers, Non-Psychopathic
Though egocentric or immature, evildoers in this category committed their crimes in the heat of passion.
3. Willing Companions Of Killers
Still far from psychopathic, some have antisocial traits and an aberrant personality. They're often driven by impulse.
4. Provocative "Self-Defense"
These people kill in self-defense, but they aren't entirely innocent themselves; they may have been "extremely provocative" toward their victim.
5. Desperate Measures
These are traumatized, desperate killers of abusive relatives or others — but they lack “significant psychopathic traits” and are genuinely remorseful.
6. Hot Heads
