My saving grace

Here I am,
having crossed the water
Still I stand,
ever greater than the fallen man
Now I am

In desperation I have tried
To steal the breath of life
But I was denied

Time - passed too slowly
And I didn't wanna wait until the wine
turned back into water
Unless it was the only way
My saving grace

Here I am,
scaled removed from my eyes
Still I stand,
never will I be the blinded man
Still I am
