"Three Ships Of Berik, Part 1: Calling To Arms And Fighting The Battle"
(Christofer Johnsson / Thomas Karlsson)

Leitmotif of the Gothic Army

Jordanes told us the story.
Yes, of Berik!

(Berik, the Gothic King:)
"Gather all the Ostrogoths
And Visigoths!
Ride like an arctic storm
Across the world!"

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: "Gog iste gothus est"

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
