The Killing Moon Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Under blue moon, I saw you
So soon you'll take me
Up in your arms, too late to beg you
Or cancel it, though I know it must be
The killing time
Unwillingly mine

[Chorus]
Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him

[Verse 2]
In starlit nights I saw you
So cruelly you kissed me
Your lips a magic world
Your sky all hung with jewels
The killing moon
Will come too soon

[Chorus]
Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him
[Chorus]
Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him

[Verse 3]
Under blue moon, I saw you
So soon you'll take me
Up in your arms, too late to beg you
Or cancel it, though I know it must be
The killing time
Unwillingly mine
Unwillingly mine

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
