Letra de
The Killing Moon

A música The Killing Moon do Echo & the Bunnymen é frequentemente considerada como uma das maiores conquistas da banda. Ian McCulloch, o vocalista, mencionou em entrevistas que a letra da música veio a ele em um sonho, e ele acredita que a faixa é uma das melhores canções já escritas, chegando a compará-la com Whiter Shade of Pale dos Procol Harum. A música aborda temas de destino e entrega, encapsulados na imagem do killing moon (lua assassina).

Under blue moon I saw you, so soon you'll take me
Up in your arms to 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, the 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 to 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


Fate, up against your will, through the thick and thin
He will wait until, you give yourself to him, you give yourself to him


Fate, up against your will, through the thick and thin
He will wait until, you give your self to him
Fate, up against your will, through the thick and thin
He will wait until, you give yourself to him
