Olho de Vidro

Armed soldiers in a great battle
Covered the German land in blood
Where death was a trump and victory
Another bloody morning dawned
The searches continued for the great enemy
Soldiers formed by a battalion
And when they invaded the old ruin
A boy came out with his hands up
Begging for mercy and drawing attention

Gentlemen soldiers, I ask for mercy
Spare my life in the name of God
I am a life that is just beginning
Maybe I can still save one of your sons
My parents and relatives have also died
There is no one left to help me
I am not guilty if there was this war
Even if it is against the laws of your land
For the love of God, let me live

And when the soldiers were already in sight
They heard the voice of the captain
I will give you a test, a chance at life
Only by luck will you be saved
Don't you know I have a glass eye
An inheritance that war also left me
Will it be the left or will it be the right?
For this transplant was almost perfect
That in over 10 years no one noticed

The poor boy crying in fear
Staring into the captain's eyes
Amidst his tears, he spoke with a smile
Not even science deceives a Christian
I will give you the answer with all certainty
I will give you life if I make a mistake
Your right eye is the real one
That shows a little love and mercy
That the glass eye cannot show
