lyrics by: Andrew Eldritch

Play the Main Riff through all verses:
, , 

With the fire from the fireworks up above me 
With a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain at hand 
You run for cover in the temple of love 
You run for another but still the same 
For the wind will blow my name across this land 

In the temple of love you hide together 
Believing pain and fear outside 
But someone near you rides the weather 
And the tears he cried will rain on walls 
As wide as lovers eyes 

In the temple of love
Shine like thunder 
In the temple of love
Cry like rain 
In the temple of love
Hear my calling 
In the temple of love
Hear my name 

And the devil in a black dress watches over 
My guardian angel walks away 
Life is short and love is always over in the morning 
Black wind come carry me far away 

With the sunlight died and night above me 
With a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain inside 
You run for cover in the temple of love 
You run for another it's all the same 
For the wind will blow and throw your walls aside 

With the fire from the fireworks up above 
With a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain 
You run for cover in the temple of love 
Shine like thunder cry like rain 
And the temple of love grows old and strong 
But the wind blows stronger cold and long 
And the temple of love will fall before 
This black wind calls my name to you no more 

In the black sky thunder sweeping 
Underground and over water 
Sounds of crying weeping will not save 
Your faith for bricks and dreams for mortar 
All your prayers must seem as nothing 
Ninety-six below the wave 
When stone is dust and only air remains 

In the temple of love
Shine like thunder 
In the temple of love
Cry like rain 
In the temple of love
Hear the calling 
And the temple of love
Is falling down 

In the temple of love
Shine like thunder 
In the temple of love
Cry like rain 
In the temple of love
Hear my calling 
In the temple of love
Hear my name 

In the black sky thunder sweeping 
Underground and over water 
Sounds of crying weeping will not save 
Your faith for bricks and dreams for mortar 
All your prayers must seem as nothing 
Ninety-six below the wave 
When stone is dust and air remains 
The only haven you can trust 

And the devil in a black dress watches over 
My guardian angel walks away 
Life is short and love is always over in the morning 
Black wind come carry me far away 

With the fire from the fireworks up above 
With a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain
You run for cover in the temple of love 
Shine like thunder cry like rain 
And the temple of love grows old and strong 
But the wind blows stronger cold and long 
And the temple of love will fall before 
This black wind calls my name to you no more 

In the temple of love you hide together 
Believing pain and fear outside 
But someone near you rides the weather 
And the tears he cried will rain on walls 
As wide as lovers eyes 

In the temple of love
Shine like thunder 
In the temple of love
Cry like rain 
In the temple of love
Hear my calling 
And the temple of love
Is falling down
