I need to get this fire out The call of nature is getting loud I got an axe and it shines so bright I’m choppin’ wood at the speed of light [chorus] Oh baby now I wanna chop your wood Sweat running over and I feel so good Hey little honey watch me swing my axe A - X - E Come on - Gimme the axe Chop Chop My soul is forged in the fires of hell The world around us ain’t doing so well - Oh yeah baby Hey little man, now don’t be scared, just come real close Gib mir die Axe, jetzt gehts los!
2.	Meat Market 02:52	lyrics	buy track
I’m taking out the trash (x2) Just another day on the job like the 99% I want to make it stop, this routine never ends Five-o-clock, shut it down, no time to make amends Lights off, lock the door, ‘cause I’ve paid my dividends I’ve got this passion I try to hide Collecting stamps all through the night I have to take off my pants and walk my boots straight through that door Pick a side, put on a hat and then lay down on the floor ‘Cause I’m fully responsible with the sheriffs on patrol I bend over, you take the lead, ‘cause I need some rock’n’roll I’ve got this passion I exercise Collecting stamps so I can win the prize [chorus] Meat Market (x2) I take them while they’re fresh Meat Market (x2) I’m craving human flesh Meat Market (x2) Spending all that cash Meat Market (x2) I’m taking out the trash Taking out the trash (x2)
3.	Funeral Crusher 04:22	lyrics	buy track
My engine’s up and running Dressed up, and ready to go Bowtie - tight - around my neck Full throttle, never going slow Phone’s ringing, gotta go in airplane mode Too much info in my brain My mind’s in constant overload There is only one way to keep me sane [chorus 1] Everytime I watch a human die I feel the sun breaking through to the sky All the funerals I attend My mind’s at ease --y riding looking for obituaries Reading papers - all day long Cruising my car, from funeral to funeral I need death to - be - a - live [chorus 2 & 3] Everytime I watch a human die I feel the sun breaking through to the sky All the funerals I attend I get my beginnings from the end Everytime I watch a human die I so feel so damned alive Everything I watch the people mourn Feels like the day I was born
4.	Ride East 04:00	lyrics	buy track
Watch out! It’s coming It’s heading our way The fish are coming The land retracts And we can’t keep it at bay Gather the horses For maritime forces They are coming right in From the shores of Dunkirk To the gates of Berlin [chorus 1] RIDE! RIDE EAST! Come with me now Follow me now RIDE! RIDE EAST! God will destroy us Existence will cease RIDE! RIDE EAST! Run to the caves, Away from the waves RIDE! RIDE EAST! We knew it was coming But still we created the beast Get on your saddles Prepare for the battles For the Urals we ride Full speed For miles ahead ‘Cause we can’t fight this tide We are the last men So trust in your brethren If you still want to live From the fences of Auschwitz To the castles of Kiev [chorus 2] RIDE! RIDE EAST! The wrath of Poseidon Will now be released RIDE! RIDE EAST! Your cellular phone Will not help you the least RIDE! RIDE EAST! Humanity pays For its ravenous ways RIDE! RIDE EAST! Dolphins will dance on our coralous grave We take and we take and we take and we take and we die! We die! We die! After my submersion As I draw my last breath And I think of recursion ‘Till I wake from this dream I’ve tried to escape them The horses are dead The life force has left me I draw my last breath Water has claimed me I have left this land I see a shape before me Half fish and half man He looks at my eyes Tells me with verve Impregnate this mermaid Continue the earth!
5.	Ice Cream Truck 03:39	lyrics	buy track
I’m riding hard baby, I’m riding so fast I got the jingle on, no way you can walk right past Their parents hate me, they try to cramp my style But when the kids hear, they come lining up for miles Stracciatella, chocolate, apple with disco dip Mango with lemon flavor, or that vanilla flip I ain’t no creepy uncle, I’m just a businessman Just tryin to make some money, havin’ kids eat out my hand [chorus 1] Are you ready to rock, in my ice cream truck ‘Cause you’re never alone, with an ice cream cone I’m on the Instagram, I’m on your Snapchat, I’m on your Facebook feed, when you’re gettin’ outta bed And whatcha gonna do, on a summer day You want ice cream, kid, I’m gonna make your day [chorus 2} Are you ready to rock, in my ice cream truck ‘Cause you’re never alone, with an ice cream cone All the kids are happy, under the sunshine The whole playground is a party, kids it’s ice cream time
6.	Fleshwolf 02:42	lyrics	buy track
Try to strive for the perfect life But when time is right, I always take the dive Deep inside I feel this constant drive Now, to fuck everything up before I arrive [Chorus 1] What’s that thing, living inside my skin Is it the Fleshwolf? Fight the Fleshwolf What’s that thing living inside... my I used to have a bad-ass resumé And a reading club with homemade crème brûlée The flesh effect, dissects my intellect Because when full moon strikes, I must walk erect Ich rieche die Frau, mein Kugeln blau Der Fleischwulf erwacht in mir Ich prüfe den Mann, wie tief ich kann Werde wieder ein Tier [Chorus 2] What’s that thing, living inside my skin Is it the Fleshwolf? Fight the Fleshwolf (x4) FLESH - WOLF (x6) [Chorus 3] It’s called the Fleshwolf Fight the Fleshwolf What’s that thing living inside my skin It’s called the Fleshwolf Fight the Fleshwolf What’s that thing inside my skin Is it the Fleshwolf? Fight the Fleshwolf (x3)

[chorus] I like you better when I’m wasted I like you better when I’m drunk Your face is looking like a wasteland I wanna put you in my trunk I was at a party last night and I drank a little more BEER THAN I WANTED Sometimes the wrong decisions are right so I thought HEY LET’S HAVE ANOTHER [chorus] Hey you - how you doing? I like you - can I go get you a drink now If you know what I mean Wow IT’S PARTY TIME! As I look in your eyes I try to look back Forgot your name, but it doesn’t matter I don’t know where I am, but you’re looking good I’m pretty sure we are made for eachother [chorus] I don’t wanna wake up I wanna stay in bed I’m feeling so hungover I think I’ll never drink again
8.	Oedipus 02:52	lyrics	buy track
When I was 13 years old You cleaned my sheets when I went out Just found out how to touch myself You watched me move out of the house Picked up the phone when I called home To ask for help to pay my rent I gotta pay my rent [chorus] Oh mama What will become of me Oh mama Will you love me for eternity Oh mama Can I still be your boy Oh mama Du bist mein bester Freund, baby Now I’ll turn 30 years old Sold my soul some time ago Making music with my friends My favorite woman of all time Look at me now I’m feeling fine No need to worry anymore!

8 AM and I feel alone At the station with my telephone Staying late working for the man Nothing changed I’m on the train again [chorus 1] What is my name? (Call me the train man) How do I ride? (Riding the train, man) I’ve lost at this game A spark with no flame Is all that’s left of me Is this really God’s masterplan On the platform with my breakfast in hand This is my sixth cup of coffee today I’m living life the train man way [chorus 2] What is my name? (Call me the train man) How do I ride? (Riding the train, man) I’ve lost at this game A spark with no flame Is all that’s left of me What is my name?

[repeat chorus 2] Riding the train Feeling the pain I know that one day we all will be free

My life is empty without you When I’m alone I feel like a fool Oh boy you are a part of me You fill me up, you set me free You are the sky I want to touch And when we do, I want your Thrust me Thrust deep (x2) [chorus 1] I dream of you and look inside your eyes so blue You’re the one I want to Touch me now! You are the circle to my grain You are the petrol of my plane You are the Tarzan to my Jane Without you I go insane You give me nitro, give me oil Without you my head will boil I don’t want our steel to rust I want your Thrust me Thrust deep (x2) [chorus 2] When I dream of you and look inside your eyes so blue You’re the one I want to Touch me, honey, and hold my body With you by my side Ain’t no mountain top too high You turn me inside-out Thrust me now!

11.	Dangerzone 03:34	lyrics	buy track
Just a lone boy, just a sad son Wondering what to do with my life Just a dreamer, no redeemer But you gotta take the dive [chorus 1] Step into the rock’n’roll dangerzone 4x LET’S GO! Just a grinder, just a roller Gotta step up for the ride I’m gonna win this fight Just a winner, just a sinner Put your leather jacket on Going into the night Darkness is coming But it won’t stop me [chorus 2] Step into the rock’n’roll dangerzone Take a leap of faith and make it your own Step into the rock’n’roll dangerzone Don’t be afraid ‘cause you’re not alone Like a cowboy on the prairie Don’t need anyone in your life Don’t wanna do what’s right Just a cruiser, just a bruiser Riding on the edge of a knife Can you see the light? Darkness is coming And I like it, baby [chorus 2] 2x

X Raiders Nijmegen, Netherlands

On hiatus (2008-2022)

Yes! They're called X Raiders. These five men seek to wreak havoc within the boundaries of what it means to be rock 'n' roll: a wild and dirty mixture of everything truly heavy, fast and hard, in which the over-the-top Dutch rockers blend 80s metal and modern rock with a devastating under-the-belt attitude; crazy, energetic and powerful! ... more
