Man and machine
and nothing there
in between
The 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
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
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
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
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
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
Higher higher
the king of the sky
He's flying
too fast again
he's flying
too high
he's flying
Higher an eye
for an eye
The legend
will never die higher
Born a soldier
from the horseback
to the skies
And the legend
never dies
And he's flying
And he's flying
And he's flying
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
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
