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