Analysis of So Fast
To gain your love at last
I will claim this day a fast
For my hope in you to grasp
My trust in you is not past
This world your fear to blast
Us free from Satan's hold, I ask
The time is now in this task
To show evil and it's mask
The charade meant to shaft
Us from your immortal craft
For our souls to find at last
Your love to hold onto, so fast
