Evento Lyrics in English Moonspell

Moonspell’s “Evento” is a cinematic plunge into the what-if moment when the world stops turning. The lyrics place us amid blood-stained streets, collapsing stones, and a city “a ferro e a fogo” (by iron and fire). Survivors stare at toppled bodies while the ground still vibrates, asking in disbelief, “Where is the God who loved us?” The repeated shout “Sossega-te! É o fim!” (Calm yourself! It is the end!) sounds like a desperate public announcement, urging the crowd to stay quiet and accept that this cataclysm is somehow divine will.

Beneath the apocalyptic imagery lies a sharp critique of blind faith and passivity. Moonspell contrasts the instinct to question (“A fé não serve de nada”) with the command to obey, exposing how surrendering to destiny can be as deadly as the disaster itself. Memory becomes “maldita” (cursed), trapping the living in trauma while the dead are hastily buried. In just a few verses, the band turns a single “evento” into a dark allegory for war, societal collapse, and the dangerous comfort of saying “God wanted it this way.” The result is a gothic metal sermon that thrills the ears and provokes the mind.
