Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Man and machine and nothing there in between
A flying circus and a man from Prussia
The sky and a plane, this man commands his domain
The Western Front and all the way to Russia
[Verse 2]
Death from above, you're under fire
Stained red as blood, he's roaming higher
Born a soldier from the horseback to the skies
That's where the legend will arise
And he's flying
[Verse 3]
Higher, the king of the sky
He's flying too fast and he's flying too high
Higher, an eye for an eye
The legend will never die
[Verse 4]
First to the scene he is a lethal machine
It's bloody April and the tide is turning
Fire at will, it is the thrill of the kill
Four in a day shot down with engines burning
[Verse 5]
Embrace the fame, red squadron leader
Call out his name Rote Kampfflieger
In the game to win, a gambler rolls the dice
Eighty Allies paid the price
And he's flying
[Verse 6]
Higher, the king of the sky
He's flying too fast and he's flying too high
Higher, an eye for an eye
The legend will never die
[Verse 7]
Higher
[Verse 8]
Higher, the king of the sky
He's flying too fast and he's flying too high
He's flying higher, an eye for an eye
The legend will never die
[Verse 9]
Higher
[Verse 10]
Born a soldier from the horseback to the skies
And the legend will never dies
And he's flying
And he's flying
And he's flying
[Verse 11]
Higher, the king of the sky
He's flying too fast and he's flying too high
Higher, an eye for an eye
The legend will never die
[Verse 12]
Higher, the king of the sky
He's flying too fast and he's flying too high
Higher, an eye for an eye
The legend will never die
