O-O (Where Evil Dwells)
Fear Factory · Obsolete [1998]
Where evil dwells
Northport, L.I.
Mutilation murder
Grisly sacrificial slaughter
Knights of the black circle
Stabbed him in the woods
At the sound of crow-call
He said, "I love thee, Satan"
Half-burnt body found
Buried in a shallow grave
Stabbed him in the throat
Stab!
Kasso killer...long live the new flesh
Where evil dwells
Northport, Long Island
Mutilation murder
Grisly sacrificial slaughter
Forsake your homosexuality
Half-burnt body found
Kasso killer...long live the new flesh
Kasso killer...long live the new flesh
Where evil dwells
Northport Long Island
Half-burnt body found
Naked in a leather mask
Mutilation murder
Kasso killer...long live the new flesh
Kasso killer...long live the new flesh
Long live the new flesh
Long live the new flesh [x3]
