Nope, though it was based on the feel of a heritage of fighting songs. Can't remember the full story, but Marty Simon comes from an ethnic background that had a tradition of fighting songs and warriors. So he did a bit more research and worked that in with what he knew. He came up with the words in English, then translated them into Brunnen G. So as far as I'm aware, it is original.
There is a gorgeous version of the theme done by Goth Band, The Endparty. It's available for free dwonload, but I don't remember where from.
Just tracked down the following for those that are interested -
----------------------- [Brunnen-G Chant]
(here is the ACTUAL translation by Marty Simon)
VAIYO A-O (Fighters fight the fight) A HOME VA-YA-RAY (For their home and their heart) VAIYO A-RAH (We fighters will win or die) JERHUME BRUNNEN-G (Forever we are the Brunnen G)
"...I am of Russian decent, but truthfully the song was composed without any specific influence. The toughest part was composing a lyric based on a language no one had heard before and getting my singers to sing convincingly and with great passion....words which they did not understand! " -The composer, Marty Simon.
