lyrics

Black marble hewn from the cave
Portrait in stone
A monument guarding a brave
General's last home
The spirit possessing the grave
Malevolent
A demon from darkness enslaved
With ill intent

Black statue drowning in grieving
Why do you weep?
Where do you walk in the evening
Tending your sheep?
And what silky webs you are weaving
All through my sleep
My happiest dreams you are thieving
Nothing to keep

Black Aggie sitting alone
Cheeks damp with tears
She hasn't returned to her home
In fifty years
An exile that some would consider
Draconian
An unpacked exhibit
At the Smithsonian
