In Tremor Dei Lyrics in English Moonspell

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song In Tremor Dei by Moonspell from Portuguese to English.

In God's Tremor

I renounce life

An oath

Sacramented

In God's Tremor

By the souls of the dead

An oath

Consecrated

You stole the air from my open chest

The rain that doesn't fall

On the horizon, I behold the sun

That sets in the east

Lisbon

In flames

Fallen, trembling

Without God

Lisbon

In flames

Fallen, trembling

In flames, Lisbon

In God's Tremor

Let there be hope

When a city falls

In God's Tremor

Lantern lit

Another empire rises

A single warning

From the open sea

So God commands

I seek revenge

In the ashes of the dead

I conjure destruction

Lisbon

In flames

Fallen, trembling

Without God

Lisbon

In flames

Trembling, fallen

In flames, Lisbon

Lisbon

In flames

Fallen, trembling

Without God

Lisbon

In flames

Trembling, fallen

In flames, Lisbon

SONG MEANING

Feel the ground shake beneath your feet! In Tremor Dei plunges us into the historic 1755 earthquake that shattered Lisbon. The singer gasps for stolen air, watches rain refuse to fall, and sees the sun setting in the wrong place. The city is “em chamas” – in flames – and its people cry out, feeling abandoned by God. Moonspell turns this catastrophe into a dramatic soundtrack of rage, grief, and spiritual doubt, painting vivid images of toppled churches and restless souls.

Yet amid the rubble a spark of determination glows. The lyrics light a “lanterna acesa” – a lit lantern – promising that from the ashes another empire will rise. The narrator vows revenge and rebirth, reminding us that disaster can forge new strength. The song is both a haunting history lesson and an anthem of resilience, inviting you to chant along while Portuguese gothic metal brings Lisbon’s fiery past back to life.
