[acording to the roman storyteller jordanes,
the gothic tribes gatheres unter the flag of their
leader berik. from their motherland up in the north
they sailed away with three ships to invade the christian
rome like pagan crusaders.
the crew on the three ships were ancestors of three
legendary gothic tribes calles ostrogoths,
visigoths and gepids. the christian rome empire feared
the goths and monks identified the goths with gog,
a heathen chief mentioned the bible.
the gothic king theoderik founded his kingdom in italy
year 488 ce. althoug the aristocracy of italy and spain
often claimed their heritage back to the goth the word
gothic was later -ssciated with darkness and paganism.
the gothic god was wotan or -odin and his spear insired
fear and terror. during the romanticism the gothic
art was revalued and become synonyme with art and inspiration.
the renaissance of the gothic spirit have made the
three ships of berik sail once again.]

leitmotif of the gothic army

jordanes told us the story.
yes, of berik!

[berik, the gothic king:]
â? gather all the ostrogoths
and visigoths!
ride like an arctic storm
across the world!â?

leitmotif of the gothic army

gather all the gothic tribes, all the sons of berik
on three ships you sail away on a pagan crusade
tyrants of the christian world fear you more than their god
theoderik, gothic king: â? gog iste gothus estâ?

the flashing spear of the sublime
is flying in the air
like the fear of the divine
the goths are everywhere

leitmotif of the gothic army
