The Killing Moon Lyrics

[00:24.60] Under blue moon I saw you
[00:28.26] So soon you'll take me
[00:32.80] Up in your arms, too late to beg you
[00:36.49] Or cancel it, though I know it must be
[00:40.36] The killing time
[00:43.98] Unwillingly mine
[00:48.17] Fate
[00:50.72] Up against your will
[00:54.32] Through the thick and thin
[00:58.47] He will wait until
[01:02.16] You give yourself to him
[01:08.74]
[01:14.94] In starlit nights I saw you
[01:18.56] So cruelly you kissed me
[01:22.81] Your lips, a magic world
[01:26.76] Your sky, all hung with jewels
[01:30.58] The killing moon
[01:34.16] Will come too soon
[01:38.35] Fate
[01:41.03] Up against your will
[01:44.74] Through the thick and thin
[01:48.60] He will wait until
[01:52.38] You give yourself to him
[01:59.22]
[02:36.14] Under blue moon I saw you
[02:39.79] So soon you'll take me
[02:44.33] Up in your arms, too late to beg you
[02:47.98] Or cancel it, though I know it must be
[02:51.81] The killing time
[02:55.56] Unwillingly mine
[02:59.65] Fate
[03:02.26] Up against your will
[03:05.92] Through the thick and thin
[03:09.95] He will wait until
[03:13.63] You give yourself to him
[03:19.12] Fate
[03:21.54] Up against your will
[03:25.30] Through the thick and thin
[03:29.20] He will wait until
[03:32.91] You give yourself to him
[03:36.82] You give yourself to him
[03:43.43]
[04:05.53] Fate
[04:08.09] Up against your will
[04:11.88] Through the thick and thin
[04:15.77] He will wait until
[04:19.55] You give yourself to him
[04:23.30] You give yourself to him
[04:50.83] Fate
[04:51.15] Up against your will
[04:54.46] Through the thick and thin
[04:58.39] He will wait until
[05:02.08] You give yourself to him
[05:14.00] Fate
[05:14.19] Up against your will
[05:15.66] Through the thick and thin
[05:21.64] He will wait until
[05:25.29] You give yourself to him
[05:27.69]
