[Verse 1]

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



[Pre-Chorus]

And he's flying



[Chorus]

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 2]

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

80 allies paid the price



[Pre-Chorus]

And he's flying



[Chorus]

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



[Bridge]

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



[Pre-Chorus]

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



[Chorus]

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
