Red Baron/Blue Max Lyrics
The son of a major, Prussian nobleman
His name bestowed by a holy Roman
The war broke out, so he looked to the air
24 hours of training and he was there
100 miles an hour
Top speed his plane would fly
And if he flew behind you
You know you're sure to die
Eighty kills, that are confirmed
While other pilots have so much more to learn
[Chorus:]
Red Baron...Blue Max
The albatross flies high
Red Baron...Blue Max
He's got you in his sights
The Red Battle Flyer, Red like fire
He sees' no faces, he's the ace of aces
His british quarry flew a reckless flight
A shot from the ground took the red baron's life
He flew with honor, he flew with pride
In 1918, the battle flyer died
[Chorus:]
Red Baron...Blue Max
The albatross flies high
Red Baron...Blue Max
He's got you in his sights
His name bestowed by a holy Roman
The war broke out, so he looked to the air
24 hours of training and he was there
Top speed his plane would fly
And if he flew behind you
You know you're sure to die
Eighty kills, that are confirmed
While other pilots have so much more to learn
Red Baron...Blue Max
The albatross flies high
Red Baron...Blue Max
He's got you in his sights
He sees' no faces, he's the ace of aces
A shot from the ground took the red baron's life
He flew with honor, he flew with pride
In 1918, the battle flyer died
Red Baron...Blue Max
The albatross flies high
Red Baron...Blue Max
He's got you in his sights

About Manfred von Richthofen, who is still widely regarded as the 'ace of aces'.
The "Blue Max" was the Kingdom of Prussia's highest military order until the end of World War I. The Red Baron received one of these medals for his service. He was a crazy nutter, he was so good at flying. Like in the song, he did actually have over 80 kills of other pilots.
This is an awesome song, the high pitched vocals by Tim "Ripper" Owens, and the galloping guitar and drums are just awesome!
wtf?! those are not the Iced Earth lyrics!
