Dedicate my life's work to my memory of her
precious Agnes, sweet sixteen
Left me at the altar, never love another
One cannot replace a queen
And I will operate in only darkness
I never want to have to see the sunlight
And I won't ever tell you how I did it
I'd rather let my secrets all die with me
I specialize in doing that which they say can't be done
Take a look at all that I've accomplished on my own
First I lift the stone and then I try and lift it higher
It's easy if you know how but learning will require
Better understanding of gravity and levers
Magnet repels just as much as it attracts
There's much that they've yet let to learn
Ten-ton stone will guard the castle
but with just one little push and it'll turn
