“Cuando canto The Killing Moon, sé que no hay otra banda que tenga una canción que se le aproxime”. Esa frase la dijo Ian McCulloch, cantante de Echo and the Bunymen, el grupo inglés post-punk. Algo exagerada, pero lo cierto es que fue su éxito mundial. No volvieron a publicar nada igual. Pertenece a su cuarto álbum “Ocean Rain”.
Ian se levantó una mañana con una idea en la cabeza “el sino contra tu voluntad”. Y alrededor de ella pivota la canción: ese destino que te espera hasta que cedas y te entregues.
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
