lyrics

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!

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
