Biography
Demos, AFM years (1992-2003)
Edguy was founded in 1992 by 14-year-old students Tobias Sammet, Jens Ludwig, Dominik Storch and Dirk Sauer. The name "Edguy" was an affectionate epithet for their math teacher at the time. In 1994, the band released two demos, Evil Minded and Children of Steel. These tapes were sent to many record labels, all of whom rejected the band, believing they would be unsuccessful in the music business. Undeterred, they self released their ‘unofficial’ debut album, Savage Poetry, in 1995. They signed with AFM Records shortly after, who offered to re-release Savage Poetry with more widespread distribution. The band rejected this proposal in favour of recording a new album, Kingdom of Madness, which was released in 1997, but drummer Dominik Storch left the band shortly after. 1998 saw the release of their second album, Vain Glory Opera, with friend Frank Lindenthal filling in on drums. This album helped expose Edguy to a wider audience, thanks in part to guest appearances from Timo Tolkki (Stratovarius) and Hansi Kürsch (Blind Guardian). The band was joined by new drummer Felix Bohnke and bassist Tobias ‘Eggi’ Exxel later that year, allowing Tobias Sammet to solely focus on vocals (he had previously played bass as well handling vocal duties).

Hymn
by: EdguyGive us this day all that you showed me
The faith and the glory, till my kingdom comes
Give us this day all that you showed me
The power and the glory, till my kingdom comes
Give me all the stories you told me
The faith and the glory till my kingdom comes
And they say that in our time
All the truth that will fall from grace
Even saints would turn their face
In our time
And they told us that in our days
A different words said in different ways
Have other meanings from he who says
In our time
Give us this day all that you showed me
The power and the glory, till my kingdom comes
Give me all the stories you told me
The faith and the glory till my kingdom comes
And they say that in our time
We would reap from their legacy
And we would learn from what they had seen
In our time
And they told us that in our days
We would know what was high on high
We would follow and not defy
In our time
Give us this day all that you showed me
The power and the glory, till my kingdom comes
Faithless in faith
We must behold the things we see
Give us this day all that you showed me
The power and the glory, till my kingdom comes
Give me all the stories you told me
The faith and the glory till my kingdom comes
Give us this day all that you showed me
The power and the glory, till my kingdom comes
Give me all the stories you told me
The faith and the glory till my kingdom comes
Give us this day all that you showed me
The power and the glory, till my kingdom comes
Give me all the stories you told me
The faith and the glory till my kingdom comes
Till my kingdom comes
