Jan and Andi organized some cameras for the gig. Mathias mixed the live recording tracks and Jan was able to edit this great video from the material:
Pics from the Gig at Substage/Minestrone
Here are some impressions from the gig at Substage/Minestrone on 21.1.2023. We introduced a couple of new songs (Father of all Nations, Herra Armahda) and extended the performance with a nice percussion intro to Nefernefer. Great audience and a great venue – we got so much positive feedback on how dynamic the music and the show are. Looking forward to further gigs in 2023!
Lyrics: Sanctuary Man
Cold season in life’s summer
a broken man, with a growing void inside
his message, a wordless prayer
a pleading gaze from a pair of tear drained eyes
To believe and to belong
in exchange for reason
Sanctuary Man – take all I have
give me all I need – a lie to live
Our saviour in white satin
a man who heals, a man who knows the will of God
his message, his bidding
a calming voice from behind a friendly smile
leave your past and take us (take us)
sell your soul to Jesus (join us)
Sanctuary man…
You have taken, you have given, the
blessing of denial – now my heart’s on fire!
Sanctuary man…
Sanctuary Man
One of our first songs that has been our opener at the gigs so far. An uplifting piece on someone facing the choice between suffering the truth and living a lie.

This gig was special since it was the first one after the long boring corona break. We also had our new bass player Mathias on the stage for the first time. Our show, and the new songs we had worked on during the break, were received very well! Thanks for being there! Looking forward to the upcoming gigs!
Lyrics: Nefernefer
The only thing that I don’t want to see
The only thing that really hurts me is the
look on your face when I fail to deliver
all the things that you deserve
Suspicions don’t play a role
We all believe in what we hope for
Im a thief, im a sinner
since I‘m wrapped around your finger
Open heart, weak mind
the nature of mankind
I am blinded by your beauty
I forgive you how you treat me
I will love you forever
my pretty Nefernefer
Aaah..aaaah
My modest mind and my self-control
The gold and diamonds of a humble soul
I put them both against the wall
I pulled the trigger and watched them fall
For a place in your heart
for a moment in your arms
I‘m a thief….
I found only one solution
to put an end to the love delusion
But someone else lost it before me
and decided to end his misery
The queen of sorrows and her slave
holding each other in a grave
I‘m a thief…
I will love you forever, my pretty Nefernefer
I will love you forever….
Nefernefer
New material from our lockdown studio! This time a nice love story instead of religious angst.

Lyrics: The Son of Man
Who earns His love? Who earns salvation?
Who are the chosen? Who are His children?
For love of mankind, God sent his angel
To help us follow, his cryptic scripture
You all are chosen, God loves His children
He lets you suffer, and evil prosper
No one was able, to understand
The cosmic savior, the Son of Man
We all are waiting for, the second coming of,
the righteous Son of Man, to guide his helpless lambs
The heaven opens wide, He steps down from the sky
He lays his hands upon us and reveals the Word:
Watching your failure, His love grew colder
the disappointment, turned into anger
And now I am here, to start all over
The Son of Man, the great destroyer!
We all are waiting for, the second coming of,
the righteous Son of Man, to guide his helpless lambs
The heaven opens wide, He steps down from the sky
He lays his hands on us and uncages the Word
Lyrics: Heart full of Joy
I have a heart in a golden chest
next to the nine I like the best
It wears a black dress and a diamond choker
It’s my favorite, its a real looker
But still im sad
Its not like the one i once had
A heart full of joy
I was a miner for a heart of gold
then found one and hung it on my wall
Next to the big one I stole from its nest
It would have never fit in my chest
But still im sad
They‘re not like the one i once had
A heart full of joy
I once heard a voice that cried
„Wake up you fool, im still here inside!“
But i got scared and covered my ears
It made my heart shed blood red tears
It got depressed
and flew out of my chest
my heart full of joy
It got depressed,
my heart full of joy
Lyrics: Jealous God
Last night, I woke up to a blinding light
and i saw a vision of God talking to me
He said – „You shall listen, and you shall obey
You shall tremble in fear and pray“
„For I am here to tell you the truth of me
I am here to reveal a lie
I’m not the loving god you’re all hoping for
The poor Nazarene – well he got everything wrong“
Last night the curtain fell before my eyes
and i saw the God, beyond the lies
It was the god of war, and the God of fire
run, run for your lives!
„There is something, you have done against my will.
Something that you all need to pay for.
You see, three cannot be one, do you understand?
You have disobeyed my number one command!“
Last night the curtain…
We made a golden calf to love us all
and must now appease the jealous God
The god who loves only of his kind
The god of the hateful, intolerant and blind
He sent a poison cloud from the skies
and watched us suffocate with empty eyes
The wrath of heaven is upon us all
We must die to appease the jealous God,
we all must die to appease the jealous God!
