I'm all but certain this song is inspired by the play Bodas De Sangre (Blood Weddings) by Federico Garcia Lorca, or it is an overwhelming coincidence if not.
I'll look at the verses first, then the chorus;
The first verse, I think is about Death (Death appears as a beggar woman in the play) 'Under blue moon I saw you, so soon you'll take me up in your arms'
The second verse is more about Leonardo's feelings for The Bride (In the play) - The Bride is to be married to a son of a wealthy family, but she has fallen in love with Leonardo, who returns her feelings. Due to the social outrage that would be caused if the Bride were to attempt a relationship with someone whose family is in such dire straits as Leonardo's, she must continue with the wedding. At the wedding, the two elope and flee to a nearby wood. However the moon and Death work together to let the Groom catch up with Leonardo and kill him. The moon shines brighter so that the Groom can achieve this, hence the song title.
The chorus:
Fate Vs Will is the main theme of the play, not just in Leonardo and the Bride's ill-fated romance, but also several other sub-plots of the play.
