The Red Baron (History Version)

作曲 : Joakim Brodén

作词 : Joakim Brodén

High above the blood and mud of the battlefields, there was another war going on:

A war for superiority in the air between the daredevils of the sky known as the aces.

Among them, one man and his plane stand out:

The Red Baron.

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

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

80 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 and 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
