Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Under the 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
[Verse 2]
Fate, up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him, him
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
Fate, up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him
[Verse 5]
Under the 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
[Verse 6]
Fate, up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him
[Verse 7]
Fate, up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him
[Verse 8]
Fate, up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him
