Analysis of So
So shall you be as you've destined yourself-
Laid barren by pain and mistrust,
So shall you wake as you've set the dawn's bell
To a world that is cruel and unjust;
So comes the trial where your heart is denied
The one ending to all you've in play,
All of the windmills you gave breath to turn
Now come calling, and sweep you away.
