The Killing Moon Lyrics

[00:22.93] Under blue moon I saw you
[00:26.53] So soon you'll take me
[00:31.18] Up in your arms, too late to beg you
[00:34.75] Or cancel it, though I know it must be
[00:38.69] The killing time
[00:42.24] Unwillingly mine
[00:46.59] Fate
[00:49.07] Up against your will
[00:52.78] Through the thick and thin
[00:56.78] He will wait until
[01:00.30] You give yourself to him
[01:07.19]
[01:13.23] In starlit nights I saw you
[01:16.87] So cruelly you kissed me
[01:21.16] Your lips, a magic world
[01:24.96] Your sky, all hung with jewels
[01:28.81] The killing moon
[01:32.44] Will come too soon
[01:36.62] Fate
[01:39.37] Up against your will
[01:43.01] Through the thick and thin
[01:46.95] He will wait until
[01:50.68] You give yourself to him
[01:57.54]
[02:34.43] Under blue moon I saw you
[02:38.09] So soon you'll take me
[02:42.65] Up in your arms, too late to beg you
[02:46.26] Or cancel it, though I know it must be
[02:50.11] The killing time
[02:53.88] Unwillingly mine
[02:57.97] Fate
[03:00.59] Up against your will
[03:04.21] Through the thick and thin
[03:08.20] He will wait until
[03:11.92] You give yourself to him
[03:17.49] Fate
[03:19.86] Up against your will
[03:23.62] Through the thick and thin
[03:27.53] He will wait until
[03:31.25] You give yourself to him
[03:35.10] You give yourself to him
[03:41.96]
[04:03.81] Fate
[04:06.64] Up against your will
[04:10.10] Through the thick and thin
[04:14.04] He will wait until
[04:16.02] You give yourself to him
[04:21.67] You give yourself to him
[04:28.29]
[04:46.41] Fate
[04:48.83] Up against your will
[04:52.62] Through the thick and thin
[04:56.63] He will wait until
[05:00.31] You give yourself to him
[05:09.54] Fate
[05:09.98] Up against your will
[05:15.81] Through the thick and thin
[05:19.88] He will wait until
[05:23.48] You give yourself to him
[05:25.91]
