CHAPTER 3: ENEMY LINES
Here's the World War I Flying Ace again flying through the air in search of the dreaded Red Baron. He escaped my clutches once before, but I refuse to let him get away again! As I look over the horizon, no enemies in sight. Everything is calm. One would say too calm.
But before I can deduce what's happening, the Baron appears out of nowhere. He got himself a new plane, I see. We shoot at each other. I weave left, right, left, right, I fly inside clouds, but the Baron is hot on my tail. Before I can shoot again, he hits my Sopwith Camel. I'm forced to make a landing behind Enemy Lines. I do so and once I'm safely on the ground, I hide out in the brush. I decide to make my way back to base. I will get that Red Baron if it's the last thing I do!
Winter's eve in Germany
Behind the enemy lines
A Sopwith Camel flyin' low
Trying to make it back in time
Can he make it back in time
Down behind the lines
Down behind the lines
Can he make it back?
Can he fake it back?
Or is he down, down, down, down
Down behind the lines
Down behind the lines
Down
A cold wind whistles through his wings
As he looks for a friendly sign
But the snowy ground is all he can see
Can he make it back this time?
Will he make it back this time?
Down behind the lines
Down behind the lines
Can he make it back?
Can he fake it back?
Or is he down, down, down, down
Down behind the lines
Down behind the lines
Down
The engine freezes up and stalls
As he sees the Allied lines
And he glides his plane through the distant lights
Can he make it back this time?
Will he make it back this time?
Down behind the lines
Down behind the lines
Can he make it back?
Can he fake it back?
Or is he down, down, down, down
Down behind the lines
Down behind the lines
Down
Down
Down
