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
Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him
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
Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him
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
Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him
Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him
You give yourself to him
La la la la la...
Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him
La la la la la...
Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him
Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him

Review about The Killing Moon eandb | Reviewer: Anonymus | 7/22/09
i really thought the song was about rape actually. but the double death is much more meaningful. my apologies. a closest friend introduced me to this song. his attempts at suicide are endless. beautiful intro
killing time | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/27/09
im 15, i wish i was around when this song came out, because its so close to my heart. the killing moon was the boy i love the most in the world's song- we loved it. we decided the song was about a girl and a boy who were in love, and the boy killed himself. perhaps they had a death pact, and the girl knows the boy will 'so soon take her', even though its 'against her will'
the girl sees the boy in her dreams, where he kisses her and lures her towards him. 'he will wait until, you give yourself to him'
this song is constantly playing on my stereo. the boy i love the most in the world- it is our song. the boy i love the most in the world killed himself two weeks ago. perhaps ill see him under a blue moon, or a starlit night where he'll cruelly kiss me one day.
I was a big fan of new wave bands during that 80's era. There were so many bands during that time but would you believe that UNTIL NOW (more the 20yrs), I'm still amazed by E&TBM music (i.e Killing Moon, Bring on the dancing horses, paint it black, seven seas, etc.)..Ian/Mac the mouth is really a great singer...he has a great voice. Wish they could visit the Philippines soon. Long live E&TBM. Thank you.

Amazing | Reviewer: MAJORA64 | 11/24/07
My sister got me into E&TBM and this was the song that struck me good. I love it! The guitar to me sounds almost japanese.

I'm sixteen and my <i>mother</i> put me onto Echo And The Bunnymen... and she was right. I don't tend to believe her but I really should have that time and not waited to hear this song in Donnie Darko.
It's just amazing, it gives me the chills too...
I totally agree with reviewer HH. It definately takes me back to an amazing time in my life. One of those songs that gives me chills everytime I hear it even in 90 degree weather. Used brilliantly in Donnie Darko which I recommend if you haven't seen it also...
He was standing in the shadows of a Bristol sidestreet one night, actually feeling some self loathing, feeling like some werewolf stalking his victim, when it was actually a boy he had a crush on that he was kind of stalking. He was killing time waiting for the boy to come out of a disco. Then the boy came out with another boy and they got on a motorcycle and left. It was then that Ian looked up at the moon and wished he had a machine gun, thinking it was time to kill.
